    just asking.. for those who bought a racket from Mr Chan.. does his racket come with a full cover? I read that some online stores will not send a cover with the racket..

    btw, i planned to get a yonex ti-10.

    It is not an online store, it is a store that also sells online. Well can you even call it online selling if you have to email in your order :D. But yes, normally a cover will be supplied however Ti-10 doesn't have a special Ti-series cover anymore so it will probably come with a generic Yonex full cover. You can opt out of it I think to save on shipping weight and maybe get some other goodies or something like a couple of grips.

    well.. quite true, but hey, as long as i get my order, that works for me.. :D.. as for the cover, it doesnt really have to be a Ti-series cover(although it is good to be one).. i just dont like the idea of my racket lying in my closet with its string expose.. :)

    I ordered a pair of Yonex shoes from e78 on a Tuesday morning, settled payment via paypal on the same day and I received the shoes on Friday morning. Excellent service!

    Hi

    Sorry for bringing this thread up :)

    I happened to browse the site today, it looks like they are now having the "new" e78.com.hk English interface site, whilst still maintaining the old.e78.com.hk Chinese interface, however, payment method from the English site isn't very convenient

    Anyone bought from them lately, especially since the new site migration?

    Cheers

    Himari, you could drop them an e-mail with your orders and request for payment via paypal.

    placed an order to him and settled payment, then he provided me the tracking number, and today (after about 4 or 5 days) i got my racket
    Mr. Chan doesnt seem to be talkative though, i guess its normal since you guys say he isnt very good at english ;)

    Juz a Qns, have anyone compared the prices of E78 with Honly from JB? I would like to know whether worthwhile to buy badminton stuffs in HK as compared to JB which is definitely more convenient for me, coz I might be visiting HK soon and see whether worthwhile to snap up a few item there

    I have no idea about JB (I guess it's Johor Bahru in Malaysia? - do they ship globally?) but I believe if you have a chance to visit HK, you can always drop by MBS, e78, they have a lot of rare and old badminton stuffs which you won't normally find anywhere else, plus, you won't get charged for shipping (and tax?) ;)

    Porky, you need not buy from Hongly if you're planning to visit Hong Kong soon. There is definitely more variety in Hong Kong than JB.E78 is located one stop away from Wong Tai Sin. I would visit E78 only if time permits. Just to let you know there is not really much to see at MBS except Adidas racquets.I have paid a visit to these reputable shops in Tsim Sha Tsui / Mongkok which were not too difficult to locate:CYF Badminton Company Hippo SportsESL Racquets Shops along Fa Yuen Street eg Puppy Sports (if I remember correctly), Rose Sports etc
