I'm not clear on whether you mean some specific chips or in general, but here
is my experience.
For things that are in current production or recently discontinued, I have had
extremely good luck with Chinese suppliers either from Amazon or Ebay. For
things that are long out of production, such as 1802 (normal, not SOS) and 6502
processors, I've heard way too many horror stories so I look to ebay for new
old stock or used from US or sometimes European suppliers. Again, I've had
very good luck. In fact, I can't remember every getting any bad ones. YMMV
