    Hi all,

    I live in the UK and I’ve put a pre-order in for TW-C079X with a Chinese seller, but with the pandemic on, there is a chance they might not be able to ship till the year 3000 the way things are going...

    I was considering buying TW-C09G “Old green” from TFS Express’s UK branch, but it’s over £600 and I’m not sure I even like it that much more than the cheaper 9X “perfect” edition.

    With this in mind, are there any other buying options for a Brit like me? Maybe another Brit based seller I’ve missed? I’ve also put in a pre-order with TFSource, but I guess the pandemic could delay that also since their stock will have to come from China or wherever.

    Thanks for any sensible suggestions!

    Don't take this wrong but patience needs to be a thing right now. Also you might have asked this in the constructor thread

    I’m totally new, please forgive me for not following your Netiquette.

    Also it never hurts to ask, I can wait certainly but I could have missed a buying option somewhere.

    I really would ask in the main thread. There are lots of UK members in there that would likely be more than willing to help you

    To be fair, shipping is still going on, it just might be slower/more expensive than before. I just had an ebay order posted, let's see if it gets here.

    I thought it must be myself, but my seller only seems to want to work with HongKong mail, which isnt doing much currently.

    I noticed that ShowZ is offering an express option, I wonder which courier he uses for that..

    Im totally not bothered about it being slow btw.
