Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Good luck finding prices like that elsewhere.

YES! DX PWNZ! Usually gets to you in 1 1/2 weeks once it's shipped. Phenomenal prices! General rule, don't buy something from DX if you really NEED it :p

Yeah, and the selection is good too--lots of hard to find gizmos, parts, and other good stuff. I remember paying like $30 for a Luxeon ultrabright LED and lens, whereas on there I could pay like $10 for both.

I'm also impressed by their customer service, since it's quite good for what I was expecting out of an overseas company like that.

So really, if you're too impatient, go somewhere else and pay more for better shipping and service.

i agree prices are not only hard to beat, but hard to resist as well....

I also have quite good experiences with DX, ok they are slow (expect 3 weeks between order and delivery) but the prices are great!

My quickest time from order to ship was about 2 and 1/2 weeks using EMS express.  And on my previous order I put the order in on the 20th of January and I got it about the end of February.   They are very slow, you just have to be patient.  Try and forget that you ever ordered them... that's the only way I can deal with the waiting.

I had a backorder of a flashlight that I got literally 6 months (or more) after I initially ordered it. I got the shipping notification on my email and wondered what the heck was going on since I didn't order from them in a really long time. Sure enough a few weeks later I got the package and realized it was a backorder that just took forever to get back in order. Hey, at least they sent it ;D Cause I totally forget about it.

Yeah, they're slow, but awesome. Some products are too cheap and are therefore cheaply made. I've had a LOT of stuff I've ordered work only for like a day or two. It's too much work to try getting a refund. But aside, MOST of their stuff are great! :)
