Surprisingly, the confirmation order came from a Hong Kong Paypal address which made me feel a little uneasy. Estimated delivery time was 8 to 10 business days.<\/p>\n
After 11 calendar days I was feeling a little nervous about my order but as it was less than $18 the loss wasn’t that much. I simply wanted those two items and could not find them anywhere else.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, a small padded package arrived, with a yellow customs declaration sticker in English and Chinese. It was actually shipped from far away Hong Kong.<\/p>\n
The items were securely packed in bubble wrap, a receipt was included along with a coupon for 20% discount on my next order. The items were brand new, clean and in full working order. I am 100% pleased and surprised by this first order from the Far East.<\/p>\n
At an era when $18 can get you a mediocre generic phone case at Best Buy, it’s amazing to receive both the case and a 2 Gb SD card – shipping included<\/em> – all the way from Hong Kong.<\/p>\nThe store is highly recommended and I will be ordering more items from them soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
