    800pro or 800se

    Hi, had my spiderbox 9000hd for 18months now and iam ready for a change. Was looking at the Pro from ukdreamshop for ?160 delivered but has been out of stock for about 2 weeks. So looking at some chinese suppliers. I could have the SE model for around the same price, has anyone dealt with L&W ?
    or would it be less hassle to wait until ukdream have stock

          Use a China supplier regardless of whether you end up buying a 800HD PRO or a 800SE.

          You can pick up a 800 HD PRO for around 100 UK GBP delivered maybe less. 800SE around 150 UK GBP Delivered. Delivery is usually fast 3 days with DHL.

          Get your seller to mark item as low value smaple under 30USD and happy days... Still slight risk of customs charges but if value is declared low it will be peanuts. Why pay extra cash for the same product...which is coming ultimately from the same sources...

          I own both a DM800 PRO and SE both are good recievers, given the choice I would say the extra cash for the SE is well worth it much better reciever faster, more functionality, better designed internal layout. Better cooling etc etc..

            P.S to avoid customs taking it in, UPS is a good way forward...

                If your only buying 1 box your best to buy from uk in case of problems and for fast delivery buying from china is best if you are bulk ordering the 1 box can be a problem a few posts i read in the past about 1 faulty unit etc apparently its ?27 signed for to return to china if a problem

                there a trusted UK supplier here DM800SE EDITION SIM 2.10 COLOUR OLED SCREEN BL82 - ukdreamshop

                    Surely buying a single box form China is safer than buying bulk.

                    1. You've got less money at risk.
                    2. If it does get import tax issues it should be minimal charge.
                    3. If your extremely unlucky and customs seize the shipment..loosing 1 box is less painful than a bulk load.
                    4. Smaller single box shipment is less likely to draw attention than a large bulk buy.

                    Without doubt savings are better on bulk buys, but so is the risk.

                      Hi mate I use L&W and have for some time and purchased many receivers without any issue. Also Ruby is excellent to deal with.
