HK ATM is slow ....
Recent security Upgrade has slowed things to a crawl : Especially economy mail ...
And stuff has disappeared ( or never shipped ? )
I think some sellers may play the never shipped game , probably figure if 10% of people dont complain or open a PP dispute its free money ..
I try not to do repeat business with these sellers ... But since one individual may run 5 or more ebay stores under different names ?
Then there is the theft issue , stuff get stolen ... ( or is simply lost )
As for the Sellers such as Banggood ....
They dont keep that much stock , so if there is a run on something , then it becomes a waiting game , as the seller is waiting on the distributor or manufacturer ...
Want it now ? , buy local and pay more for the convenience ...
People get upset , sure thats understandable , but a company like banggood , they move a lot of stock , and some times , there are shortages , especially on popular items ...
And they make money by trying to keep customers happy , and through volume sales ( lower prices )
Its in there best interest to try and look after you , some times , its just not possible ...
And you havent waited until you have waited 6 months to get what you ordered ...
+ These guys are pretty good in the sense , if they havent shipped your order , they will refund your money ... ( if your tired of waiting )
I waited 6 months for DX to fill a flashlight order ( manufacturer was not making that model ) , they offered to refund my money 3 times , I refused the offer and told them I wanted the flashlight .. ( was it worth the wait = thats another story )
