Fentanyl, I bought my cables from FutureShop.co.uk, very good service, your order will be shipped the next day. thumbup.gif

I've tried to order from Cable-Shop.co.uk, they took 3 to even process, by the fourth day, the transaction in my Paypal still pending. So I decided to cancel.

ALPS2008, after you selected your shipping address outside of EU, the 17.5% VAT will be voided, so it will be cheaper. Before that, or before you login, the price is with VAT.

Orite! Thanks for the heads up! Will try FutureShop.co.uk. nod.gif

Yep most of my QEDs bought from Futureshop. Much cheaper than buying locally and took only 1 week to be here. I only buy one single 3m SA XT from Lelong for RM275 use by my center speaker coz I needed it urgently. Next purchase would be 30m QED silver micro unterminated for my surround. That will cost me about 90 quid plus shipping (RM560). Not sure whether they willing to under value it a bit when they send as not to exceed RM500 limit. Hopefully they would. Good shop nonetheless thumbup.gif

U bought from Solehah, right?

You are right! I ordered my cables yesterday and they are already dispatched today. Maybe I will order speaker cables from them someday but just wanna ask u. If they ask for quantity of cable, does it stand for pair or unit? Let's say I put 1, it means 1 unit or 1 pair? hmm.gif

Yup, only one. But still cheap right? thumbup.gif

You'll receive your package within one week. My last order valued more than RM800, not tax or whatsoever. Just like Amazon UK, Royal Mail does excellent job. But it's more secured because this one you need to sign for it when it arrives. biggrin.gif

U need to sign? It is registered then? That's good. Yeap I normally receive my items from UK in 5-7 days time. nod.gif
