Appreciate your comments d_t_a about receiving items in Manila (lived there for one year long ago), however I looked at where the OP lived and tailored my comments to his/her location in the western US.
Zoulas, yes you are absolutely correct... Simon will support his products and customers no matter the selling source.
I have not seen this to be the case. I have compared quite a few S2+ and C8 and others and Simons AliX store is always less. Please give me one example of this if you have one.
I have checked and when you include the shipping and mandatory insurance on Banggood it ends up being more than on Simon's AliX store. However, that is including the 10 or 15% discount that Simon offers to BLF users. If you compare the cost straight across without the BLF discount then Banggood is less. But I always ask, and receive, the discount as all member here on BLF should do.
There is a working Simon AliX 15% discount code listed above in the comments to this thread.
Exactly, I never get it either. Never had a problem.
Their “insurance’ is just a money grab as far as I am concerned.
It is BG’s responsibility the customer receive the package.
this! I would never buy from someone other than Simon! Any issue that may come up (and so far, there were NO issues), he will communicate with you and work things out. He is the best.
I have been shopping at Simon’s store for many years now and never had a problem so far. very quick shipping, good packaging and the items are always perfect.
