Never Use HiFi-Exquis - Worst Merchant Ever!

I made a purchase from Hifi-Exquis in China for a Muzishare 845 integrated amp.

I paid for Fedex shipping and the total cost was about $2400.

They sent it DHL in retail box without the second box and padding that comes with it from the factory. It weighs 100lbs. When it arrived the entire front plate with the controls and meter was broken off and the mounting screws sheared off.

It has been weeks now trying to get a refund but they refuse. They keep jerking me around asking me to fix it. The screws need to be drilled out and there is other internal damage to the selector switch and I would expect many tubes may have been damaged. They never mention there may be 1000V inside if I start poking around!

DHL will not open a claim for me. They say the merchant has to send a return shipping label. But they refuse.

Paypal says I have to ship it back to get a refund because that is their policy??? Since when? The merchant is responsible to pay for the return of damaged items.

So now it is with American Express to reverse the payment to Paypal (and thereby the merchant).

These guys are the absolute worst dealer I have ever encountered in buying anything in my over 50 years on this planet.

Yes I am a very stupid person for buying anything from a merchant in China. Learn from my mistakes.

OP I went through an experience much like yours but in Perth AU. It took 2 months to arrive and then was damaged, BOTH amps were packed one on top of the other.. LOL ON TOP OF EACH OTHER.. 

You got it..

I contacted EBay, My CC company, Pay Pal.. 

EBay 10 day or some such BS, for a dispute (took 2.2 months to get to me)

Pay Pal had been paid WAY back so the had no horse in the race. 
I was stuck with the CC company.. 90 day for a grievance..

I'm 2 weeks from getting burned for 2800.00 plus shipping from AU.. 400.00 more dollars..

TIME is not your friend.. BE careful. 

It didn't work out for me, I got BURNED.. SO delays in delivery times are for one reason, to screw YOU, in the eyes of the money lenders. Oh and BTW, I quit using EBays BS a long time ago.. I use them, they don't use me ANY more.. Straight to the CC company then to Pay pal THEN to EBay.  Certainly not as a courtesy, only a necessity.

EBay is for one thing EBay.. What a monster in our midst.. :-)

Oh Oh I forgot about the Mcintosh MX110 and 2 C20s that got stuck on a docks just as Katrina hit.. You got it.. It went under water on the dock.

WHO PAYS... Act of God according to EVERYONE.. 3K down the Bayou, c’est la vie. 6 weeks later they show up with brackish water and crawdads still dripping out of the ruined gear, just ruined.. LOL I got a sense of humor, thank God... The seller lost his house and business...

They are not worse than Fosi, just equivalent.
However when I dealt with these creeps, PayPal issued a full refund, no return necessary.
Anybody need a one channel stereo amp?
