Warning: China-Hifi-Audio.com

And everyone who thinks it was dumb to buy from China - get off your high horse and stop shopping at Walmart and Amazon then. They have singlehandedly destroyed western manufacturing and are the two great evils of western society.

I agree 100%. There is a problem. Covid helped them consolidate their foothold and many businesses have gone under while they stayed in business. Now our choices are very limited, especially in the flyover country. I wonder how many have recently awakened to the truth you shared? 
But on another note, its somewhat misleading when you have little or no choice to call out people who have no choice.  Washers, Refrigerators, etc. What American company even make appliances? None of them. TV? Electronics in general? No One. Tube Amplifiers? CJ, Atmasphere, cary, ARC, Rogue, etc all make them right here. They aree forced to comply with certain standards which CPP doesn't comply.  We have been sold out to the highest bidder which is China CPP 

@robert1234Whaat were shipping charges from China Hifi to the US. I need a pair of Shuguang KT88 and the only place I can find them is in China. Their shipping calculator says $75 to ship which brings the total cost up to where I could buy a quad of other  tubes including Gold Lions. Maybe I should email the owner/operator? 

If it says China, walk away.

I bought another muzishare amp from china-hifi-audio without any issue. I also got muzishare x7 before from them last year during bad pandemic times.  Got muzishare x9 today delivered by dhl express to my door. I paid china-hifi-audio on april 8 with PayPal friends not even biz service so no money guarantee i believe so i saved and they saved some as well Shipping was over $400s for 34kg box. DHL text  me on Monday about the shipment. They delivered on Friday morning on fifth day after first notification. I am hoping some closed minded human species  on this forum may realize what they are missing out on. :) 

Thanks, this is helpful. I ordered a Willsenton R8 after reading reviews and watching YouTube reviews. Given the price point and quality seemed like a good ROI, save some money as opposed to buying a Canyin, Raven Audio, or Primaluna. It was not in stock on Amazon, that’d would’ve been my preferred choice. I decided to order from China-Hi-Fi website, the product description does state the price has increased and thanks Jay Lee and Thomas Tan for their reviews (which I saw on YouTube). I decided to purchase the unit with KT-88 tubes and stock tubes. I decide to purchase the R8 that day since It was listed that on 4/22 there were 2 units is stock and shipping from 5/1-5/31 or later. Shipping price  at $372 seems steep but its supposed to ship via DHL or FedEx and arrive in 7 days so all and all is still cheaper that purchasing another model. An email would advice me on the actual shipping date.  I did contemplate adding the EL-34B tubes from the website and they replied within 24 hours that they could do that, but decided to buy some RCA tubes instead. I followed up with an email to inquire when the anticipated ship date would be, have not heard back from them. Honestly, I’m not surprised if they don’t respond, my expectations on customer service are low anyway since dealing with a Chinese seller. I thought that the item was in stock but apparently notches case. After reading this post, now I’m aware that it will take longer than what their website claims. I was on the fence about ordering from China and now those concerns seem validated. Hopefully I will get an actual unit or get my money back. I will deal directly with my bank rather than PayPal if I have to go that route. Won’t buy from them again in the future.
