content: I purchased mine from DX (it was about the time they were largely pulled off ebay and before the US price dropped).No problems with my order, only things of note are they declared the value as about $12, and the box was completely wrapped in packing tape.Just be sure to pay the extra few bucks to send it EMS.Downside is that the included documentation is all chinese and i'd have my doubts about getting warranty service. (although i modded mine, so i really have no expectation of warranty anyways)If you're in the US i'd probally just buy from tequipment.net.

content: Same. Got mine about the same time. They require EMS for the Rigol. Modded mine as well.

content: I ordered mine on 10/20, the tracking says it has been shippen from China on 10/22 with destination Italy, but since then, no news... Now I'm starting to worry; even if it's cheap, it's not an amount I'd loose without a tear! I'll ask them.PS: an useful info their customer support gave me: the right tracking site ishttp://intmail.183.com.cn/item/trace/itemTraceAction.do, I don't know why they linked another page.

content: Quote from: scrat on November 09, 2010, 09:29:48 amI recently bought a really cheap Chinese FPGA/CPLD programmer from eBay. I noticed in the advert that the seller would not sell to Italy or Israel because he was tired of items not reaching their destination. Best of luck though..o:0|O|0:o.

content: I buy regularly stuff from DX. works fine, just do never believe their "in stock" or the time frame to get the item shipped.sometimes it's shipped out in 24 h, sometimes it takes a month or 2 before shipped.Check the forums on each DX page.Italy is indeed known for taking a long time for their customs to release things (up to 2 months) and high rate of lost packages.

content: Thanks for the info, although I didn't want to hear such things about my country (but I know, we have a bad mail service).So... Fingers crossed!
