Warning: China-Hifi-Audio.com

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.

Bummer to hear. I actually bought a small item on that website and, while the whole thing felt a bit janky, my merchandise arrived and everything was fine.

Although the USA might not be much better, I have learned NOT to buy from overseas companies.

"By all means let me know which USA dealer has these products or something equivalent for a similar price?"
Decware?

I am not against doing business with Chinese companies or Chinese people. I love Chinese culture, but I am against funding the Chinese government and military. Buying Chinese is funding the world's most dangerous and pernicious surveillance state. For many products it's unavoidable. For HiFi it's highly avoidable. (I know many parts are manufactured there.) Not funding China is helping forestall the day the US will bow to the will of the Chinese government.

It's a gamble ordering anything from China, from audio to fitness equipment. Some consumers make out okay but a lot of them don't. I'll buy Chinese-made goods but only those already in the USA.
