    Please do.
    When did you place your first order and when did you receive it?
    Please keep us posted on your second order.

    placed may 4, shipped may 6, received may 28 via SpeedPak. it was an YX hulkie and seller helped me source an extra WJ constructicon for parts to mod the YX hulkie. another user here also placed an order for the same after i posted in the KO OS hulkie thread. ;) 

    seller thanked me for the referral and also offered a discount when i placed my second purchase! :D

    That's where my current order from Baba has been hanging out for the last week. Found it kinda odd it didn't depart on a plane from Beijing like usual, but it seems so many air shipments are going through ZZ right now for China Post, or at least, that's the intended plan.

    They look like another in a growing list of bulk junk sellers. They aren't scammers, they just sell cheap stuff and KOs, send them as cheap as possible, and offer nothing to compensate for the wasted time and money. Their TF offerings are quite few, and are almost all OS knockoffs. Would probably avoid them unless you're willing to roll the dice on broken/incomplete items and going through Paypal to get your money back.

    Also worth noting, most of what they offer can be bought elsewhere, often cheaper, and from more reliable sellers.

    I had a shwi7900 order from early April that had been in Pandemic shipping limbo forever. I had been watching and waiting that one for awhile obviously. It finally showed up this week and luckily everything with it was fine. I was going to give eBay feedback today and noticed it shows he is no longer a registered user...

    Well at least I got mine and it was packed well. But there goes another seller.

    Yep. Luckily, they got yours out the door before they turned.

    Don't think I've ever had to with one*day_bid but have with other eBay sellers , it's pot luck sometimes, think it comes down to whatever jobsworth happens to be on parcels that day at the sorting office lol

    I’ve purchased about 8 items from One Day Bid and only my last purchase from them in March which arrived in May got hit with import vat and admin charge. It added circa £20 ontop of what I had paid. As long as sellers are putting gifts down on the shipping paperwork you have a better chance of avoiding extra costs at UK customs. One day Bid has been great on this as well as packaging/protecting the goods.

    Totally agree.
