owh... cuz wongor was replying my email all the time, but i paid money to SHek To Chan (paypal) though. i thought they were the same person. but now you corrected me. thank you! wongor is friendly but he only replies once in 24 hours. so, it took me about 4 days to nail a transaction.
Sohubuy was specifically set up as the website for the international buyers: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...-Buying-from-e78.com.hk?p=1312735#post1312735 http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...-Buying-from-e78.com.hk?p=1194504#post1194504
DOes it include stringing? Yes the time(s) I have dealt with wongor the PayPal was still the Shek To one ... Didn't see that one up there. Sure that $2250 includes PayPal fee? Seems an awfully rounded number for him. BBE Store/Shop is definitely a different store, they are based in Beijing and totally unrelated ... Funnily enough BBE Store and BBE Shop are actually different stores, one run by a former employee of the other, don't remember which one is the original (at least that's what I remember reading when someone asked the difference)
paypal fee you have to pay to paypal. it does not include. 1149HKD includes stringing, EMS shipping and 1.06x handling fee. I have to add another 6% of paypal fee to the total.
I usually get stuff that's not released in Germany yet from badmintonstoreonline.us - prices are quite decent. Not the most thorough (they accidentally sent me one instead of two rackets, but corrected it quickly), but friendly and quick shipping.
I did the sums and my local guy is only a tiny bit more expensive than getting overseas now, so I'm going to cop the extra 20 bucks because I know he does an insanely good stringing job. New toys on Friday!
Dang! New rackets every few months! If that is what midlife crisis is like, then I'm looking forward to it!
The new year is coming up soon. Time to get new rackets... Due to increased postal volume during the Christmas rush, if we want it to arrive Jan 1, then we'll need to order by mid December!
price here for bs09 is around myr320 and bs10~myr380...30-35% off. some of my friends who studying in oz also use victor...they purchase extra and bring to oz to sell and make some money hehe...
Mines is quite dated but the brand new is available, BS08 is great for double player fast and powerful. I never use Yonex but I personally found this brand deliver high quality stuff with reasonable price. Love it..
Well, those prices are insanely cheap, but I'm kinda stuck because I'd feel super bad getting the best local stringer (who sells AUS coded Victors) to string Victor rackets I bought somewhere else. Actually, he'd either tell me where to go, or charge me a 'ba$tard tax' the equivalent of me buying them locally anyway!
Welcome to the club theerac, I just think its a big encouragement for Victor that anyone is "never used Yonex" before and giving a complementary comment about Victor. 15 years ago people (especially in Asia) will say you never play badminton if you never used Yonex, now that has changed.
