    you'll get got for customs (it will be stopped for customs if coming from China so don't expect it not to) as they offer very little from their European warehouse. so the price you see is not the end price if coming from China as add collection fee + VAT onto that.

    plus expect shipping to take a long time as well as the time for customs delay.

    eglobal probably a much better option altho they occasionally have issues too but you won't have customs issues as comes through eu

    (recommending them as if you're looking at gearbest it's obviously for price reasons)

    honorbuy a good option for quick delivery altho cost + delivery cost will be higher.

    Thanks lads I did a bit of googling and came up with more or less what ye're saying, so I'll be giving them a swerve.

    they are ok for buying cheap things (under the customs limit) that you don't mind waiting 5 weeks for.

    Grand for phone covers and stuff like that. Don't expect it to come any time soon though. My last experience was bad (almost 2 months waiting on smartwatches) and customer service was dreadful.
