Why would anyone in the UK bother building their own battery banks anymore??

I've just looked on the https://szluyuan.en.alibaba.com/ page for a quote - I put in just 4 batteries to get an idea;

On Amazon UK now, you can buy a ECO-WORTHY 12V 280Ah LiFePO4 Lithium Battery for £500 now and have it delivered in days.

I can't see why anyone (in the UK or Ireland at least) would bother with the hassle now.

Can anyone give me a good reason not to buy straight from Amazon??
