I’m currently working with someone to make a leather camera strap at a reasonable price , I have decided for ease of use to incorporate peak design type clips into it .. the actual PD ones make it rather expensive so have purchased alternatives to see which works best and to keep costs down .. got a couple of sets on order BOTH allegedly from UK based suppliers . One set ordered on Amazon ,the other via E.bay a week later neither have as yet arrived and looking at messages and tracking I’m assuming both are in transit from China ..
Getting really P.off with sellers that state there u.k based but are not .

If the sellers say the item is in the UK (not the seller) then negative feedback is deserved.
A lot of Chinese sellers sell from drop ship warehouses in the UK, and if they are out of stock, then you wait for the next shipment.
They some how bypassed VAT this way, but now the VAT has to be collected by the platform, that has been plugged and most of the Chinese stuff has gone up a lot.

If it hasn't arrived by the expected date, I open a not received request. You will find that if it is coming from China, they will just refund, if it has been posted but just delayed, they will ask you to wait a few days.

I don't wait, because you still have to wait nearly a week to ask ebay to step in, so if you wait it will probably be 2-3 weeks before you get your refund.

Sounds harsh, but they are masters of time wasting :)
 
Quite easy to miss posting from China especially on Amazon but delivery date usually a couple of weeks or more is a good indication, but if they miss delivery date by more than a few days complain/ cancel.
 
I've just ordered two items from China, one arrived in 7 days from ordering.
The other made it here in good time, now stuck with the UK courier good old Herpes.
 
But the whole point of my post is in both cases I ordered from specifically UK suppliers. .. . And in my books I could have purchased far cheaper if I had ordered direct from China ..
So this is fraud no other way to put it . And as stated above they are masters at time wasting .. and till e.bay and Amazon crack down on this type of selling it will continue

I always check the feedback, if it mentions slow delivery that is often a big giveaway

I've had negative Amazon reviews cancelled before because I'd mentioned poor delivery, the reason given was that the review had to be about the product. That smelled of censorship to me but I could be wrong.

I was thinking more of Ebay because Amazon give a delivery date which is a much better tell of its location.
