Warning: China-Hifi-Audio.com

@kingbarbuda:

I have the Aries II and Pontus. Both excellent. And yes there are some excellent Chinese companies. And Vinshine is an example of a very good dealer.

I am trashing mainland China dealers. I have dealt with China Hifi a few times before and he was actually ok...not great but ok previous times. He did sell things not in stock and then hope I would just wait many weeks for it but the last time his customer service was terrible.

But Hifi-Exquis are absolute liars and terrible to deal with. No insurance on 100 lb package, single boxed, jerking me around to make it my responsibility to fix....that is a whole other story - avoid them at all costs.

In general that is my point - China dealers (not manufacturers) cannot be trusted. And after COVID I guess I have gone from loving my fellow man to having a hate for Chinese government (not the people) so maybe this is venting a bit too....

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. :)
