    ordering dm800 from yaoxin electronics - alibaba - delivery method customs charge?

    hi, i want to buy dreambox 800hd pro box. alot of people suggesting buying the box from ukdreamshop, but im not willing to pay ?180 for the receiver, my budget is around ?130. my last resort is getting an openbox s10, dont want to but that will be my only option.

    1] if i order from alibaba site, what will the custom charge be if i order 1 receiver?
    2] what delivery method should i choose, ups, dhl or ems?
    3] any sellers that you could recommend other then yaoxin electronics?

    and finally:
    4] will customs confiscate the receiever?

    thanks

    There are lots of them but by the time you have paid all the extra you will save very little and you still won't have any warranty worth having
    better to buy from the UK where you will get all the proper buyer protection.

    If it says Dreambox and it isn't then there is a good chance that you will lose it to customs. Some Chinese suppliers have got wise to that and they don't put "Dreambox" on them anymore.

      isnt the warranty useless on this box? once you use the box for c/s, does that not void the warranty?

        No
        Why would you think that? If you buy in the UK from a long standing dealer, even using buy it now on eBay, then no matter what he says you have a minimum of one year warranty, what image you use on that box is not relevant.

          if for eg i buy from yaoxin electronics and tell them to remove the logo or put another name on the box will the receiver come through customs?

          also is there a uk seller that sells there receivers around ?130 mark?

              I bought my DM800 HD from dhgate few weeks ago, paid ?105 and they sent the box as dvd sample so no custom fees. So far very impressed with the box, but real test if box broekn and need fix from the supplier so as others said this is the risk buying from china,

                  Kaiser i sent you the link to Dhgate for the boxes just select free deivery and the cheapest single receiver it aint that hard is it?
                  I know 2 ppl who have bought there and havent paid a penny in customs cos they mark it down as something else.Stop being a tight wad and take a chance you wont find any cheaper.

                    look forward to seeing if the dreambox copy works as good as the original.

                    and if it comes through customs without any problems

                        Ive read almost every post on here recently and ive never come across someone who doesnt know what he wants but wants the best box at the cheapest price.
                        I dont know alot about athe Openbox but at the price you can get a Dreambox for its a no brainer.

                        Andy.

                          why you want the link again? is the company name going to change or you deleted Andy's pm without reading it?
