2016-07-05 17:38:02 UTC  

okay, since nobody answered in thread

2016-07-05 17:38:04 UTC  

il ask here

2016-07-05 17:38:05 UTC  

Has anyone here ordered expensive stuff (tablets, phones etc.) from GearBest EU warehouse?
Did it get stuck in customs?
I want to buy tablet from there, but if customs check it as out-of-EU import I have to pay VAT and shit, makes it not worth ordering.

2016-07-05 17:38:33 UTC  

My dad wants to buy a cheap max 100 euro tablet for casual use.

2016-07-05 17:38:34 UTC  

The entire point of ordering from the EU warehouse is to avoid customs

2016-07-05 17:39:24 UTC  

Im torn between Acer Iconia One B1-770 and Chuwi Hi8 Pro

2016-07-05 17:39:30 UTC  

yeah, but you never know with chinks

2016-07-05 17:39:54 UTC  

occasionally you hear stories about how EU warehouse stuff were shipped from china

2016-07-05 17:40:06 UTC  

would have loved a reassuring post 😄

2016-07-05 17:40:53 UTC  

I ordered a tablet recently from gearbest but it's shipped from china by magyar post

2016-07-05 17:41:20 UTC  

There were no tracking updates for like two weeks and a few days ago it changed to "Put item in bag" in Budapest

2016-07-05 17:41:32 UTC  

So technically now it's shipping from inside the eu

2016-07-05 17:42:07 UTC  

some post services dont like chinks chinking

2016-07-05 17:42:29 UTC  

and they add that "the product does not comply with EU customs union shit"

2016-07-05 17:42:51 UTC  

which tells the local customs that the packet is from china

2016-07-05 18:20:59 UTC  

Why don't more folks in csg do quick little videos of each of their items to get maximum goodboy points?

2016-07-05 18:21:31 UTC  

What's up with Switzerland post and Belgium post?

2016-07-05 18:22:02 UTC  

You can find almost 0 info about them online, and the info that you DO find is in chink

2016-07-05 18:22:12 UTC  

@Mollins Because their time is probably worth more than what good boy points are

2016-07-05 18:22:21 UTC

2016-07-05 18:22:33 UTC  

also concernedfella

2016-07-05 18:22:34 UTC  

I don't order from gaybeast in the first place, but even if I did, I wouldn't bother, because it's not worth my time.

2016-07-05 18:22:44 UTC  

many european posts have international branch

2016-07-05 18:22:55 UTC  

and that international branch also has chinese branch

2016-07-05 18:23:00 UTC  

which is what the chinks use

2016-07-05 18:23:20 UTC  

generally these european posts are inferior to Chinese Post Registered Airmail

2016-07-05 18:23:30 UTC  

but superior to regular untracked chink post

2016-07-05 18:23:51 UTC  

afaik all european posts have tracking, but it sucks compared to registered airmail

2016-07-05 18:24:02 UTC  

Their tracking info is also odd. You'll get a "item will arrive in 5-10 days" and that's it

2016-07-05 18:24:14 UTC  

yeah, often vague

2016-07-05 18:24:26 UTC  

you get like

2016-07-05 18:24:38 UTC  

Understandable RE: Points, it's certainly a pain in the arse you can only use them for 30% of your item value

2016-07-05 18:24:39 UTC  

thats all tracking

2016-07-05 18:24:55 UTC  

while china registered airmal has like 10 different chenk points in same day

2016-07-05 18:25:17 UTC  

I'm perfectly fine with that for free
