    Got an H11SSL-i from squaredpartner, 7302p from another seller in China, no vendor locks, no other issues with the parts, saved about $100 or so versus a bundle from tugm, if you’re looking at alternative sellers. As others have said, ES/QS is clearly labeled, vendor locked CPUs seem to be pretty clearly labeled (though I did have to message one seller to confirm due to translation issues), worst case you’ve got the money-back guarantee to cover you if you get something DOA or locked that wasn’t listed as locked.
