I just wanted to pass along some concerns with this dealer. 

I ordered a tube amp a couple weeks ago that was shown in stock (actually listed as a discounted customer return). and after 8 days of waiting for a shipping notification I asked about the status and was told it was delayed because the owner had to verify his UPS account. ??? They listed DHL Fedex and UPS as shipping services with 3 - 7 day delivery time for the $595 shipping charge I paid.

Since that response I have asked several times to cancel the order and even thru Paypal communications but am now being ignored. No refund and no shipment. So now it is in Paypal claim and I will be waiting many more days to see a refund.

Very disappointing experience with this dealer.

For anyone who missed it above the seller just refunded thru Paypal today. Maybe because they saw this or another post about them. 

It was a Willsenton R-800i single ended integrated amp with 300B and 845 tubes. Price shipped was $2k. for the customer return item. I would guess with double box the shipping weight was close to 100lbs. So I figured there was maybe $200 profit in the shipping price.

But as I said I welcome any suggestions on a 300B/845 amp that can be had in USA for $2k. I am still looking for something.

Thanks.

I've got a Mastersound compact 845 for sale but it won't be $2k, maybe $4.5k

China has all the best technology, all the most highly skilled workers with the cleanest air, best working conditions, greatest benefits and most freedom in the world. No child or forced labor in China, no sir! When China sells a product cheap you can be sure it is because they work so hard to design and build better than anyone else, and not because they stole and copied it. Also you can be assured of the world standard in customer service, China being practically right next door and having all the same high standards of customer care as we do. Probably better even.    

I am shocked, shocked to hear of problems with China.
