There is a way...

[J888www]

Be careful before parting with your cash. The HK Shop (there is no shop), seems this guy goes into China twice a Month (probably to meet-up with XXX, very common pastime in HK) and purchases to order, then delivers by meeting customers at Mass Transit Railway stations (MTR). He says due to financial hardship, he does not have a shop, I find this to be very suspect for a businessman. Between Causeway Bay and Wan Chai, there's a Mall with a vast number of mini boutiques, all selling Computer equipment. These boutiques are relatively cheap to rent, to say one cannot afford shop is quite unbelievable.
      There are many stories from people in regard to SCAMMING in THAT part of the World. My word of advice is to be careful. This HK Shop can put its' good  on Ebay , no
      People inside Mainland China do not dare SCAM inside China = Death sentence, so they SCAM people outside China = gullible people and they can get away with their crime.
      Large numbers of pre-orders and no delivery = nice little earner :fish2:

BTW, I is originated from THAT part of the World.     Geekhack may be targeted in a SCAM.  NB. all the proDUCKs are NIB ( Newly Initiated Brethren)

WAT? You talk about KBC, YOBYUY or TaoBao?

[J888www]

WAT? You talk about KBC, YOBYUY or TaoBao?

The implication is to all Chinese sellers. I merely wish people here not to suffer a SCAM as some here have cash in short supply. I may be wrong but it is better to be safe than have a gnawed Soul. A concerted scam on this site is not most welcome.

u r right.

Transparency in that Sweatshop workers are all grammatically deficient. Needing another source of income now that MMORPG gold farming is all but defunct. The three of you keeps contradicting yourselves.

[chimera15]

I've bought a lot direct from China, even small sellers.  I've never had them not come through with a product.  I've had them take 2 or 3 months to get it to me, and the quality isn't always great, but it usually comes.  In 100 transactions I'd say 100% was what I expected.  In the same amount of sales from the US about 2 or 3 will have some sort of problem, from just not sending it, or the product being not what was described.  

I would say generally China has a much lower scam rate than in the us.  It would be pretty silly to offer something for sale on this board too cause the instant someone has a problem no one else is going to buy from that person.

[J888www]

The Chinese minds are ever so devious, they would and had in the past slit the throats of people before robbing them so as to leave no witnesses, prosecution = death.
     Maybe I'm too cautious, but I was BORN there.

[imsto]

I know there a lot people do not like China or think that Chinese are ...whatever.
I am tired to explain.

And you shouldn't have to really. This is a information topic and I am very grateful that you guys provide the information here to us as an English audience. I am even more happy to see that you also are willing to ship abroad. Anything else really should not be discussed here.

Thank you for the information and friendly help imsto.

That is my personal opinion on it!

[didjamatic]

I have bought many things in bulk and individually from China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Brazil to name a few.  I have rarely had troubles, but you must be in a situation where they stand to lose more by scamming you than by fulfilling their end of the deal and delivering what they promise.  Then you both win.  Find someone who cares about their reputation and wants to earn trust and more business and they will take care of you.

I don't make generalizations about how a person is based on what country they are from, I've met great people and jerks from most parts of the world.

This looks like a great thing they are doing and the key is to buy from a responsible INDIVIDUAL who will see to it that you receive your goods.

If the risk is high, the price must be low.  If risk is low, you can charge a higher price.  That is the nature of international business.

I wish them luck and plan on buying a 108 Ducky from them.

[jelly]

i can help u all get the keycaps from kbc.

i ordered quite a few sets from them.

[imsto]

there are bad guys in every country, and i think most people are good.

[imsto]

There is a way...

you are the genius.  here is the best way for both of us maybe.
hereis what i have got on taobao.
SO it's easy now.

Actually, It's probably cheaper and easier if you send goods directly. Since the third party site will also charge fees and it will take longer...

[microsoft windows]

It's usually cheaper to buy direct (or ebay).

[imsto]

now i know why one guy bought a lot keycaps and without any questions.
maybe he's working for yoybuy.
we are studying how to use paypal. it seems to get cash from ebay after the deal is quit a trouble.

[DreymaR]

When the zombies come, you will defeat them with your keyboard of course! What's the matter with you guys, never heard of Typing of the Dead? These are essential survival skills, and you'd better know your anti-zombie typing skills well when the hordes arrive!

[microsoft windows]

I'll clobber them with my IBM and then tie them up with its springy keyboard cable.

[J888www]

You don't need to explain, I AM Chinese.

I am not trying to dissuade people from purchasing from you guys, but it seems strange there are at least three of you here trying to convince people to purchase from you. I am just advising them to be careful of the possibility of getting burned.

Qoute=imsto "there are bad guys in every country, and i think most people are good."
 
                  There are good guys in every country, and i think most people are avaricious.

[microsoft windows]

I don't think that Chinese people in general are bad, but the squalid conditions in many sweat shops in the Orient are definitely something to consider.

[J888www]

If these products are put on ebay, I would be one of the first to purchase, knowing my pension is a little more secure. As the situation is direct payment, why do you all advise not to pay by " Western Union ", yet go ahead and purchase in this manner.
   Quod Erat Demonstrandum.

[TheSoulhunter]

Uhm, they are put on taobao, which is the chinese version of ebay, no?
Thats where I ordered the stuff (trough a buying service, because I don't understand chinese).

Its like we are helping those people.

Shipping from my country to countries like united state is cheaper than china to united state.

Believe or dont believe its ur choice.

If there's one thing I've learned in my short life, it's this: you can always trust in non-fcc registered chinese consumer electronics.

Last time I went to chinatown, i got me 6 i-Pods for 20 bucks. Kinda had a funky interface, and one of them may have given me avian flu, but the savings!

Are those real i-pods? only 20bucks,it's realy cheap.

I got one of those fake ipods on ebay.  I've had it for like 3 years now and it hasn't failed me, and has a bigger screen, and more functions than an ipod too, of the same generation, for about 1/20th the price. lol

The Chinese are good at selling fake stuff at low prices. After all, who here hasn't seen $5 Rolex watches in big black plastic bags?

You're born there... yet you're like verbally attacking them. Can we do some investigation before we accuse them of scamming us?

[PRISONER 24601]

There's nothing wrong with verbally attacking the country you were born in. It's perfectly healthy. For instance, I was born in the USA: my government likes to exploit third world countries for cheap labor and start destabilizing conflicts abroad in order to protect its own interests or preserve regional hegemony for its allies. I can't count the number of times the US has been involved in an assassination/coup/uprising abroad simply to protect the price of a commodity that happens to be valuable to a large, private multinational corporation. Go go CIA action missile!

[PRISONER 24601]

Wait a minute, this is a keyboard thread.

So how bout them duckies? They do look very nice.

well my point is, don't accuse them of scamming before we know for sure that they are.

I don't think they are scammers. The population of keyboard enthusiasts in China exceeds the US by miles, ignoring the fact that China is 23987348 larger =P

it's funny because we've been trying to research a geekhack keyboard or get some different keybaps in different colors but it seems like it's merely impossible in the US. I guess China or some other Asian countries will be our best hope.

Wow that's some amazing stuff. They even changed the windows system stats.  I guess you can do that from the registry?  Still, for $120, that's not exactly scamming him, that's about what you'd pay for a p3 thinkpad off ebay or something. lol  It's not like they sold it to him for $1000 which is what a new dual core thinkpad would go for.

Or $3k

[PRISONER 24601]

Can't see why eunuchs would want/need fake testes. Unless they were wealthy and vain- even then they're not gonna be attending any orgies, least not as a man. There's a story about a famous roman general with one testicle, don't remember who, it was probably from Suetonius anyway and who can believe that ****?

Also, I don't think for a second that the KBC guys are scammers. They seem legit, and they obviously have some nice products. I wish them the best of luck.

Thanks for warning me and everybody about the fact there are many Chinese scam out there. However I do not believe that all Chinese do scam. I am like anyone else here who only care about keyboard. And keyboard should not discriminate the where it comes from, if the keyboards is good and it's from somewhere in middle of the war in Africa for example, I still would love to make effort to grab it.

[imsto]

So, just keyboards and no politics.
it's impossible for us to control the governments.

I've just got a paypal, and i got the email from paypal,like:
比如您收到200美元，那么手续费是200*3.9％+0.3＝8.1，这时真正入账的是191.9美元，当您要提现时会有另外35美元的提现费，即真正到
您银行账上的是191.9-35＝156.9美元。
means if i got 200$ for one kbd, paypal got 3.9%+0.3 $, so i could get 191.9. and when i want the cash moved to my bank account in China such like BOC(bank of China), there's an additional 35$. I got 156.9$ at last. It seems more suitable for me to put the money to BOC when there's more money, and I am still woundering if I may put the moeny to BOC without any complicated procedure like the tax or etc.

there's a small additional PCB in this kbd, because the green,white need 2.9v each, and only 5v from ps2. every 2 leds was in series.

hi imsto, as I understand there will be no tax apply after $35 fee paid. So you can keep your money on your paypal. When you got a lump sum, you can transfer it back at once.
