content: I ordered a meter with franky he shipped it on the 28/03/2013, this morning I'm using it 04/04/2013, now that by any standard is good going , It was actually faster than getting stuff from here in the UK. Thank you Franky, it's really nice to have a 22000 count meter doing my low powered electronics

content: Quote from: Flump on April 26, 2014, 10:33:39 amThanks a lot! I am constantly looking for more stuff to stock and sell but it's a slow process as I like to test and see things for myself first before offering them. Being a one man shop I sometimes just feel like I need about 72 hours in a day to do all I want to do!

content: Another thank you/recommendation for Franky. I bought a precision voltage reference a few weeks ago and had several emails back and forth with questions about it (mainly due to my own impatience, tried to use it without a battery) and got responses sometimes within a few minutes.The price and delivery time was excellent too. I now check Franky's store first for any T&M kit.Peter

content: Quote from: echen1024 on April 27, 2014, 05:13:12 amI did actually sell them as a full set including the plastic case and so on, BEFORE the Japanese sellers came and made it impossible for me to compete. They must have a distributor in Japan who offers them amazing pricing. I got my units directly from DER EE and there's no way I can compete with them in terms of price. In fact, I still have 2 sets sitting in my shop. I may just post a couple of clearance auctions eventually...

content: Quote from: Towger on April 27, 2014, 03:45:59 pmYes, there's a long thread on the design of that device on this forum. Plus the other sellers are already offering them at rock bottom prices so I'm not really sure about carrying them...

content: I bought the Yihua 995D+ soldering station from Franky.Quote from: iloveelectronics on June 09, 2014, 04:06:11 pmThe blue display is very nice. The soldering iron itself is quite lightweight and handy, compared to my old one and uses the standard Hakko tips. The heat-up time is fast. There is also a sleep mode and three memory buttons. The small footprint also saves some space on a small bench.The price and delivery was very good, and I also got some extra soldering tips.His customer support is excellent too. I had a fault after some weeks and he sent me a replacement instantly! This high level of customer support is extraordinary.I’m very happy with this purchase!

content: Quote from: Legit-Design on October 19, 2014, 08:19:17 pmI am not aware of any issues with shipping from Hong Kong to the rest of the world through Hong Kong Post.There are some delays for shipments from mainland China to Hong Kong though, which is making life difficult for me when it comes to re-stocking stuffThis is likely due to the recent anti-government events in Hong Kong and they are censoring everything that's passing through the China-HK border. I've heard that things like surgical and dust masks have been stopped (as they are used heavily by the protestors to protect themselves against pepper spray and tear gas).
