Not quite sure what all the bitching is about. :thinking:
Product selection is similar to DX, including many of the
exact same brands (and even
specific products) that we are
ALREADY familiar with. So claiming all their stuff is "crap" is incorrect and unfair.
The complaint that all their prices are too high is also without merit. Different companies are not going to have the same prices on everything. Some of their prices may be higher than DX, but some of their stuff is priced considerably
LOWER than DX as well!
If someone had a specific bad experience with these guys, I'm all ears. But if a vendor comes here and is nice enough to offer LPF members a discount, I would think that bombarding their discount coupon thread with non-specific complaints and "chasing them off" might not be the best course of action? :thinking:
Given that DX has started to get "pricey" on a lot of things lately, and with China untying the national currency and the labor disputes in the coastal regions causing traditional low Chinese prices to become unstable, having a good alternative to DX, and one that is also willing to give us discounts, might be worth having?
I ordered some stuff from these guys already, and will likely order some more before the current discount ends.
My experience so far has been a good one. Web site ordering & discount worked smoothly. Has order status tracking like DX, but much more detailed, including specific timestamps for each status change.
I was at first a bit put-off by the listed 3-7 day processing time for in-stock items. But I was pleasantly surprised by the
actual processing time - orders were processed, packaged & shipped-out in just 2 days after order placed!
So rather than doing like DX, and claiming in-stock 2-4 days on their web site, then often taking
forever to...waiting for supplier, order received, packaging, processing, processing - awaiting stock, processing - contact us for updates, and hopefully,
eventually actually
SHIP, this company is instead giving a
conservative time estimate on their web site - and then shipping-out
FASTER than promised!
Nice. :gj:
Full review forthcoming, once products received. But so far, I like what I see!
