Shipping vendors and lead time

Fast Delivery by EMS is the most recommended service, and the only visible option you can see on our website. We choose EMS for a number of reasons:

  • Delivering to 120+ countries in reasonable speed: 5~7 working day to your door
  • Accept goods with magnet which other vendors (DHL, UPS) would  refuse. As most earphone kits and component is with strong magnet inside, EMS in the only option in many cases.

If you are in countries out of reach by EMS, please contact our for other shipping options. 

Custom and tax

We get requests from EU, UK, South-American customers all the time about how to avoid being taxed. To be honest the import tax in these countries is surprising high, some reaching to 30% and above. We believe no DIYer shall be taxed in a totally unreasonable rate and would like to do whatever legally to help our buyers out of this. 

Shipping cost

We offer 40% off of the EMS public price! EMS publish their quotation publicly so it’s easy to verify if you have any concern.

We actually have a deal with EMS and get 30% discount. And we afford additional 10% per order to further save our buyers’ budget – for example shipping to the USA, the public EMS price is $25, we pay $17.5 to EMS and only ask buyers for $15.
