IIRC, Paypal makes escrow guarantees only for Ebay purchases. Anywhere else, its just another payment processor. But if you linked the Paypal transaction with a CC, then as you mentioned, you could ask for chargeback from the CC.I used PayPal so if they don't deliver i can at least get my money back. People with credit cards can also ask for a chargeback if something goes wrong.
Interesting price, compensating for the $ appreciation against INROT Any idea if B2 will attract customs 110$?
BRAINWAVZ B2 Dual Balanced Armature Earphones - PREORDER - BRAINWAVZ
Seems they are giving free Fedex shipping for this.
Yep, looks like it ends today. No friends, relatives, neighbours, workmates with a CC?Does anybody know when this offer is gonna end? I read somewhere that's its gonna end today
After the order confirmation mail, nothing yet.to all those who have made the purchase , have you got the tracking details yet? do they even provide tracking details after shipping the item? and is it marked as a gift by default or you have to ask them specifically to do that !
Just to have an idea, can you please let me know what have you been charged as customs for items around $100? I am a bit tempted here, but excessive customs would kill any joy over the discount on normal price.Usually - yes! I have not received any item through DHL / FedEx / TNT without duty. I have received two items from China (Starsonic HDSS ear phone and iBasso T3) via UPS without any duties - both declared at $15 or so. I don't know about MP4Nation - FedEx though, may be they have a way around it
I think this deal will end on monday(hong kong). Check out their forum (mp4nation.net).Does anybody know when this offer is gonna end? I read somewhere that's its gonna end today... can somebody shed some light on this? I was buying m4 online using my axis bank visa debit card but the card got blocked after entering wrong password three times on the vbv page alm face: . Called up Axis bank CC the representative said that "you would only be able to unblock the card tomorrow" ... ****ing axis bank CC... I think I am gonna miss this deal
Well, M2 is bassier in comparison and regarding soundstage, ClieOS and others say that M4 is better and sounds more open.Is this better than the M2 in terms of bass and sound stage?

At $28, its very much VFM. It'll probably beat the life out of other IEMs retailing at same price, which tend to be muddy wrt bass. And if you don't like them after listening to them, you can always put them in the "Sell or Trade" section.Gryph0n thanks . v-shaped frequency response, recessed mids, lacks warmness :annoyed: slightly sibilant . wondering if it's a right choice
Damn, there's no rhyme & reason to the amount charged. Looks pretty arbitrary.If I leave out Borderlinx orders for which one usually pre-pays duty and taxes before shipping, the following instances come to mind
- Alessandro MS1i - declared at $40 SGD - TNT - Charged Rs. 1600
- HD668B - $15 + Gift - EMS (USPS Priority) - Rs. 541
- uDAC2 upgrade board - $25 - EMS (USPS Priority) - Rs. 846
- Emotica X-Series cables (4-5, I think) - $50 - EMS (USPS Priority) - Rs. 739
Pretty reassuring. I'll have to make up my mind regarding the B2 sometime this week. Given that DBA-02 are rare, the B2 look like a decent alternative.For every package I was charged duty, there would be 10 parcels arriving without duty. That's roughly the ratio.
He he. Indeed, the size of that "USB Drive" must have left them wondering.But, going by my own experience with MP4Nation, you are unlikely to be charged. I bought HM5, which was marked as "USB Drive", declared at $25 and Gift. Shocked at the size of the "USB drive" packing, customs officials opened, inspected, probably even burned in the headphones for 3-4 days.
The pre-order is ~65 percent the normal retail cost of the B2 :bleh:Damn, I.wish they had a 60% off on the b2!
