audio set-up for beginners [continued]

Thanks guys!

Have you ever tried buying stuff from China through e-bay? I purchased a few items from the UK and US but not China. I am a bit apprehensive about this.

Thanks again,
Richard

Yes I do, as long as seller is Top Rated and 100% or close rating. I also look at recent feedback.

I do avoid China or HK sellers as much as possible, especially recent months because shipping time from these countries has taken longer (up to 8 weeks!) Will usually go for US or UK sellers wherein shipment arrival times are more consistent.

USPS first class mail ang usual ship method pinipili ko whenever possible para mas mura. Arrival is almost same sa USPS Priority based on experience. At times, dumarating in a week.

I avoid EMS/UPS/Fedex/DHL para iwas customs duties.

I had also used Global Shipping Program AS NEEDED (items more than USD100) and prepaid the tax. Mas mura kaysa UPS/Fedex/DHL tapos magbayad pa ng tax... but not as fast (1-2weeks). I got some of my car audio equipment this way.

For a province person like me, wherein I have to always factor in SLEX toll fees and fuel, eBay is quite convenient and cost effective
