Info on HK Supplies

When you have time, can you post the itemized bill from FedEx, a little bit of mysteries there on $88.11 charged.

No sign of any bill from FedEx itemising GST. Don't know how it was calculated.
Merry Christmas

FedEx normally attached it to the side of the package in a clear plastic envelope.

Yes, I got the stuff out of the envelope - but nothing about GST anywhere.
Just the original consignment note and Poon's invoice.

Does anyone know why 'etefore' (HK Supplies) only has 11 items for sale (just before I post this) on eBay? They're not closing down, are they? Perhaps it's just shortage of Nikon/Nikkor stock?

Bugger, only 11 items for sale?! Someone mustn't be doing their job right...

The short/medium term plan is for HKSupplies to shift away from an ebay based biz into a standalone online retailer. A new website is under design and construction (yes, the old one is kinda neglected). The reason for this shift is 'the boss' feels too much of his profit margin are being eaten away by ebay listing fees and paypal transaction fees. They moved into new offices this chinese new year, so I guess what you're witnessing is the early transition phase.

Additionally, D70user's orders make up a not-insignificant portion of business from HKSupplies, and any orders via Birddog still gets the royal treatment - aka rushed delivery and first preference for those hard to source or in shortage items.

Yeah I wondered why HKS never really had a decent website to order from. While eBay is a good way to sell products, I've heard the commercial side of it is quite costly. So it will be good to see HKS with a decent online point of sale.

While they're doing on eBay they don't need the decent good website, and they don't take CC as their preferred payment, everyone wants buy cheap but never think the more seller invested or commited into the stores the more the cost added to your purchases, and you all pay for it, it's not free
If I have a huge stores as Vanbar with number of young good looking chicks, nice decorations, good position, my prices will never be good as right now, extra dollars will be charged to pay for those chicks, guess! who will pay my bills
