Chinese / Hong Kong online shops

[Garath]

Has anyone had any recent dealings with any online stores over in Asia, and has the experience been a good one? Need to get some stuff and they seem to be the only people who sell them.... I've tried and 2 weeks after ordering my stuff and despite several comms they have still not despatched the items so now raising a dispute with PayPal....

RW where okay with delivery times for me. The hop they sent me had a broken O-ring when it arrived and they pretty much said "tough titties" to fixing that issue.

Usually most are good and let you know if some of the stuff you ordered is out of stock. Might be the reason its taking so long.

Retailers? Mostly fine.

HM Customs? Hit or miss, pot luck over whether you get caught for charges.

Parcelfarce? Shower of b*stards.

Just ordered and received 2 pairs of 1911 pistol grips from 2 manufacturers in Thailand. Oneset arrived withing 4 days the other 2 days longer. No charges whatsoever arrived by normal post.

I have ordered previously from other retailers and as yet have never had a problem with delivery. However you can get stung by import charges, so make sure you factor that in when buying.

If you aren't charged, then even more savings. If you are then at least you have factored the cost in so know what you are going to pay at the worst scenario.

This.

Ordered from the hobbies of electronic, and the usual time passed. Checked up digitally, found it was being held by Parcelfarce due to some unpaid customs charges. Annoying, but not completely unexpected. Rang them, paid, scheduled delivery for next day.

Day after, it turns up, along with a letter detailing the charges. Why they posted when they had my email is beyond me. Checked charge breakdown:

HMRC - £10 on a £100 order. Not too bad.
Parcelfarce - £13. No apparent reason, just because they could.
