Shipping...

[Burgerman]

When stuff comes from HK it always takes forever. So I was worried about buying my new camera from a HK shop/business. But since it saved around 1K and I am tight, I took a risk. Paypal always savs the day! Because when a deal is too good to be true. It almost always is... So I thought it may be a scam. It still may be I dont know what they are shipping yet! It might not be what it was meant to be...

But the slow boat from china is no more.

I ordered at a late hour last night... Its already been shipped, and delivery expected on the 6th! Thats a 5 day delivery from HK. God knows how they can do that as well as giving away a camera at a rediculously lower price and offer 2 year warranty as well.

Express shipping is always available , but at a very high cost unless you have a business account with the courier .

I was shipping CRT projectors and wheelchairs from US to HKG since 2001. I had 85% off, compare to walk-in customer.

I just shipped 2 PL8 to the US, and they landed NYC in 6 days .

I am not in any business now .

[Burgerman]

Hello guys, it's good to know that shipping works well and that purchases arrive in normal times. Here, although the purchases arrive, it is with 140% more due to absurd national taxes that only serve to collect and they do not care that it is for a person who depends on it to make their chair work.

[Burgerman]

Well you have an extremist and totalitarian corrupt government. If you cant vote them out you need to rise up and put a free market capitalist government in. And let deregulated, low taxation aand subsequent free market trade make you all richer. Like HK did. Like america did.

Again!
I ordered a lens.
Same HK based grey import shop. Saved 400 over buying in the UK. And just like the previous camera/lens I ordered from them, it took 2 days and 6 hours from clicking buy button, to delivery to my door. I am holding it... Its hot! Or 2 days, 2 hours actual elivery time by fedex.
Thats faster than ordering it at daft prices in the UK.

How the hell do fedex manage 2 sets of export/import customs, and still do 6k miles, 3 seperate flights, and by road to my door in 2 days and 2 hours.
This is what the service is called: FedEx International Priority.
