I saw all the postings about shipping and delays and such. I have brother works a lot in asia and india with all kinds of companies and institutions and things are certainly different over there and one thing for sure is that once the overseas companies get the US dollars flowing in they want to do what it takes to keep customers and gain more. they are getting better at making quality stuff like a car called apple or something like that that is kinda like a chinese honda. They can change tooling, molds castings , whole factories, whatever super quick and there are huge factories, millions of square feet they want to keep busy. as well as shoddy slum industrial areas where a whole community will do one thing like recycle electronics and melt the gold off the contacts from trash electronic stuff or recycle rubber or copper or whatever. They have holidays where everything stops for a week at a time. I don't know specifics but that is some of what I do know. Its kinda like when I was a kid cheap junky jap crap was everywhere but by the 90's the honda was one of the most reliable and economical cars in the world. well kinda like the same thing is happening all throughout asia and china has what a billion people who all want cars and middle class stuff. I think paypal has cured a lot of the problems of getting ripped off when placing an order. I know when I placed an order with hutzl and it went to paypal for payment that was a good thing, if everything is wrong or I never get a package I can file claim and get my $ back, I know I can't afford to lose $200+ I sent them for a saw kit.
