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.

Lots of xenophobia and racism evident in some of these comments. For those "America First" parrots, look at your iPhone, look at every appliance in your home, look under the hood of your car: "Made in China." And hey, guess what, it's great quality. The reason there's so little anything still made in the US is you and I want our stuff cheap, and aren't willing to pay high US wages. Yes, there's still lots of high-quality audio gear made here, so feel free to buy it if you can afford it. Will it sound better than the much less expensive "Chi-Fi" gear? Maybe, maybe not. Just don't let ignorance and prejudice guide your decision.

And it would be ignorant not to believe that the horribly repressive government of China has its finger in every pie in the country.

A lot of folks posting on here are making the point that they do not care to, as much as possible, subsidize labor camps, repression of basic freedoms and genocide.

But hey, if you do, be glad you live in a country that allows you that freedom.

I have no issue with anyone buying anything from any citizen of the world (that excludes Russia doesnt it...and China is on watch). With that said, even those who believe in buying their Chines made gear, I have yet to hear anyone recommend buying baby formula from China. Just sayin...

thecarpathian Using that yardstick, you should throw away your iPhone, your TV and pretty much everything you've bought in the past 35 years. To get on a moral high horse pretending you're not buying Chi-Fi because the Chinese government is repressive (it is) and corrupt (it is) is hypocritical bullshit. If you're gonna take the moral high ground here you can't cherry pick.
 
Hint: Look at the long, long history of oppression, corruption and violation of human rights by our very own government before judging others.
