Sorry mate . should read Trevor ?. Ron
I deal with one that claims "Item in Glasgow" but is in fact in Poland . (Hasn`t arrived yet either . Hmm . Bit again , in fairness , Paypal claims , you are protected ? Hope this helps.Take care . Ron
I know who you mean, I bought something off him a year or so ago and being that he said he was here in Glasgow I expected it to be here the next day, or within a couple of days at the most. In the end I think it was nearer 2 weeks, stuff from HK usually arrives in 4 days...
Hi
Never had any problems from HK sellers, only once had to pay import duty and that was when someone put the value in HK dollers, when I complained they refunded the duty paid.
Had more problems buying worn out rubbish described as mint from UK sellers.
Only every buy if they offer full paypal protection though.
So you buy from HK then? any bad experiences? never get charged tax?
I would always prefer to buy from the UK, but in some cases it just is crazy the price differences involved. Small things like batteries I would happily get from HK, but lenses or bodies? No chance, would rather buy from classifieds here or a trusted UK ebay seller.
Cheers,
James
I have bought stuff from Hong Kong that arrived faster than stuff from England, usually well under a week, and no problems.
Just ordered a battery grip, first bigger item. White balance caps, batteries, bits and bobs stuff like that never had a problem yet (fingers crossed).
As it says on the tin.
I tend to avoid stuff from china and HK.... should I not?
At my old age nothing makes sense any more..
You are looking rather old and masculine Beth?
