Broke_Audio_Addict Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I've ordered tons of stuff from China on eBay mostly leds. They usually take at least two weeks and I've had a few take over a month but they always show up. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

gckless Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I've ordered a few things and they've taken 2-3 weeks for me. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

GSanders17 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I ordered a banner from china through ebay and it took 2 days to get to usps customs in new york and then it sat there for about 5 weeks before it came to me. Prior to that it usually only took around two weeks for most stuff to reach me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hispls Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Estimated Delivery: Sat. Aug. 2 - Sat. Aug. 16 eBay "estimates" are complete bullshit based on best case scenario and pure luck. They're designed to 1: Trick rookie buyers into buying things in hope that they'll get them faster than they likely will, and 2: Leave buyers disappointed in sellers so that eBay can pooch them out of "top rated" seller fee discounts when their feedback rating suffers when the postal system can't deliver on eBay's promises. In short, fuck eBay. That being said, I've had anything from 2-6 weeks with small parcels from China... mostly pure luck I think. What I'm wondering is if you were just ordering semiconductors, why you didn't just go through Mouser or someone domestic??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefourth Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I think that's about what to expect from eBay. Most of the time my girlfriend will buy stuff from China like noserings, earrings and things like that. Sometimes it's as quick as 2 weeks and other times we've waited over a month. Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do thatI can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream. oh lawd.

Pasta Prime Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 The only thing that is constant when buying from china is that the packages and contents always smell funny. lol New build coming........
