hi guys i'm planning to get a Fenix PD35 TAC flashlight.
thought of ordering from aliexpress which ships from China as they costs wayy cheaper than retail here. even lazada is expensive. so anyone ordered flashlights from aliexpress before? will it be stuck at custom? |

QUOTE(power911 @ Aug 29 2017, 08:43 PM) Aliexpress is ok with customs. Just ask the seller to label the package as gift or low value item. why? because of this:Usually seller from aliexpress would do that automatically. May I know why buy from aliexpress? If it is some unbranded good lights I understand la (like convoy, eagle eye, on the road, astrolux, etc) But if lights like your Fenix PD35TAC I'd prefer to buy it locally. Price doesn't differ much. Maybe a couple bucks more but you get warranty if you buy it here. Aliexpress will need you to send back to china  Local seller selling for RM315 https://www.lelong.com.my/fenix-pd35-tac-cr...7-01-Sale-I.htm versus China seller selling for RM222 (with free shipping) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fenix-PD35-...sAbTest=ae803_3 u can see our local sellers are taking wayy more cuts on flashlights therefore the more cost effective is to directly buy from aliexpress and wait 2 weeks rather than paying almost RM100 more. |
