Hi all , I am wondering if anyone has ever ordered strips or parts from the electrical distributors in Hong Kong ? They have killer deals o the F series samsung strips but I can't decipher how to purchase from them and am not sure of their credibility. Hoping someone here might have some insight. Like from this place:

I have a feeling I saw someone on rollitup asking about the same strips, from the same supplier. I might be mistaken.
I have a feeling you should do serious research on that supplier before making any decision. Sorry I cant be more specific but if you google reviews you might reconsider.

It is - all of them appear to be a scam ..... dammit. Figures.... I'd love to do a build with some of these strips but at 44$ bucks apiece it isn't happening. Back to the drawing board...

You need to be careful of the freight. They often have low pricing for the goods but then make it up on the freight. Another thing is once they have your card details they keep charging it. If you are making purchases like that do it with a pre paid card so they can not double up charges

Someone I know purchased something from okne of those companies late last year. They purchased the goods even after I warned them. They were then charged of freight hard and not just once. They then had the purchase cancelled through their bank and money refunded due to insurance on the credit card.
The funny thing was 2 weeks later the goods turned up, and he hasn't paid a cent for them and they didn't email requesting payment.
Funny to have a scammer company scammed.
