Barely 3 days and it would have been in my hand if I'd not gone out :(

An order from the US is waiting for custom charges of £19 to be paid as well that's been in transit for 3 weeks which is of a lower value than the HK stuff :boxing_smiley:

Nice one Phil

Buying from Hong Kong is a doddle and its always within 5 days in my case.

I have had a 3 dayer once but its normally 4 or 5.

Oh i also notice there were no charges;)

[Smoothound]

Yep no charges ;)

First 3 dayer I've had :D

Lucky guys, I just had to pay 30 quid in customs and service charge for just a 70 pound order from TW...

I think that's what it is mate. Won't be ordering from then again until I do a bit of talking to them before hand. :cheers2:

I have used 'Helikraft' in Taiwan for about a year now, never got done!! Friend always uses 'Helikraft' for eight years, been done once, was still cheaper than uk, even with 'tax'

[madgooner99]

Funny i've used Flying-Hobby in HK about 8 times....always perfect.

Used Helikraft twice and been done both times for UK Tax

Its it all just pot luck ?????

It's not the tax I'm to worried about it's the handling fee, £13.50, for them to do what, push a button to let my package continue on it's way??!

In the end: Price of items + shipping from abroad + insurance + tax + handling fee

The world today...

[Smoothound]

Well there is a down side to the story :(

The package was short 1 item and the graphics card in the package needs a difficult to source adapter to work with my monitor :(

Need an ADC to DVI adapter, any pointers appreciated ;)

[madgooner99]

Does that need a step-down or will it run on 6 Volts :smilielol5::smilielol5::smilielol5:
