Thanks, added to the sticky list.

I would suggest:

Pros: Some competitive prices on some products

Cons: Non-existent sorting of products by price or release date

I understand that, but as far as we know: 2 emails sent. 1 never replied, other replied in 40 minutes.

How can we evaluate this issue in a Pro/Cons evaluation?

Maybe ....

The relative:

- mixed experiences with support via email... sometimes fast anwers and sometimes no reaction for days

Did you sent a second email?

I have. No replies.

If they ever fail to respond to E-mails .. then it's a comment of no response to emails ..

....This is just a higher priced mirror site to another site which has been given bad feedback that's why it's the same stuff you've seen before .. a real close look at lights will tell you who they are ...site layout is different , but the lights are the same

???

Waiting and watching... There are a couple things I would like to order from DB but I won't until you guys let us know that your orders arrived.

Boaz, which site is DB a mirror of?

Nope, it isn't just a mirror of any other site. You can find ripoffs of photos from other shops in every other asian web shop, that doesn't mean anything.

There is some indications they are coming out of the same corner as focalprice though.

Emailed them asking when an order would ship and got a reply in 2 hours. However, in the reply they claimed they already sent me an order shipped email a few days ago, which I never actually received.

So maybe the effort is there, but their communication is a bit unreliable (so you'd best try a few times)

Just got my 763's that I ordered 3/23. I am pretty impressed with the shipping time and they are great knives based on my initial impression. I also ordered a EL-02 from HK on Ebay and the shipping time was about the same, so not sure how HK Post may be doing better. In both cases, I am happy to receive the product in less than a month.

DiscoveryBargain also had the option for free registered mail (with tracking) and the best price on the 763's, even though they don't have the aluminum vs (still on the fence about that one).

I received a few 763s and 723s, in separate orders, each taking about 3 weeks. The packaging was exceptionally good, with lots of bubble wrap. Good transaction overall.

Good to hear that they actually deliver, but I haven't been so lucky. I ordered in February and sent an e-mail this week asking about the order (not much they could do, they shipped it within a couple of days) and never received a response. I filed a PayPal dispute last night before my 45-day limit was up. They responded this morning saying if I sent them some money (less than $2) for tracking they would send another knife. I think I will give them another week or so and then ask for my money back. Later on I might try ordering again, though I don't really need a knife anyway. I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

we are very sorry to tell you because of our mistakes that the items on the following orders were sent wrongly to be F2-723. We will send them to you again tomorrow(F1-723).

If you have any other questions, pls don't hesitate to tell us.
Best regards.

about 15 days, I have received.

I received the G704 I ordered on March 26th today. I wasn't expecting it for at least another week since they use HKP. If they can keep this up, I'll definitely be ordering more from them.

The customs declaration says "Electronics" and the knife was shipped in a regular, unpadded envelope. They did however wrap the sturdy cardboard box in an extra layer of bubble wrap, which along with the pouch provided more than adequate protection. The knife itself has some minimal vertical blade play and I haven't really had the time to put it through its paces. But upon cursory examination, I really can't find anything wrong with it other than the clip, which is ridiculously stiff. The action was somewhat rough, but did improve after some minimal adjustment. Lockup is solid and the blade is sharp enough to effortlessly shave hairs off my arm. Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised.

Ordered a 763 which was apparently shipped on 18/3. Still haven't received anything. I'm starting to think that our excellent postal service here has 'lost' (i.e. kept) it.

Anyone else from Australia recieve one recently?

I probably won't do a paypal dispute because they've almost certainly sent it, and it isn't their fault so I shouldn't make them lose money. Now, if only I could boycott our postal system. :(

Someone from Aus got one recently, it was even inspected by customs. They send you some paperwork if customs confiscate it. Sometimes it does take over a month for packages to filter through from Hong Kong or China so all hope is not lost yet.

Well, the knife that I ordered from DB (an Enlan EL-01B) never showed up. But I got a refund through PayPal yesterday, so I am finally happy. After watching several YouTube videos, I think I like knives with axis locks more than flipper knives. So I ordered two large knives with axis locks, an Enlan EL-02A and a Ganzo G704 from DiscoveryBargain. This time I ordered over $20 in merchandise to get free tracking. I hope my order doesn't end up in the Mariana Trench like last time.

My second order need about 50 days (I do not have opened a paypal case, because it enters Germany on the 45 days, than the customs service needs the rest of days.

Vectrex wait more than 50 days, too.

@juhha

Please remove the "Fast delivery to Europe.(Germany)" on the pros. I don't know why my first order was extremly fast.

My second order of 763's came yesterday. Under two weeks....I'm happy.
