Perfect, thank you for the explanation! So basically if you add the shipping costs to your items you can save money on TaoBao if your order more items at the same time. Of course you also need to take into account custom duty, since you use express air curries.

I think what he was meaning is that the cost for shipping is already included in the price and the way they can do that so cheaply is because they ship lots of packages together

Yes of course. I was taking about TaoBao. Since you usually choose a fast shipping method the price is higher, so it would be better to buy more small parts at once and ship them together.

Yes but quite a lot of small parts is required to make worthwhile

No problem. Although this link was already present in flipsky’s thread. But it’s good to put all the links together in one thread so it’s easier for everyone.

@Hummie replied but he can not post in thread. He is the second one who has this problem, I am goona ask to @moderators whether they know if I did something wrong when I created the thread…
Hummie reply: “hi it wont let me post in the thread for some reason! never happened before. should be getting them today. the difference is these are stated to be able to do foc but maytech and diyt they tell you you shouldn’t. if its just talk or with pieces to back it up I will find out.”
So he will let us know whether they are good or not!

Decks are one thing I wouldn’t trust coming from China.
Firstly, because its an easy thing to cheap out on and you can’t tell right away. Secondly there’s a ton of domestic decks available super cheap.
For instance:
https://www.otherplanetskate.com/collections/decks
$25 and $30 California made decks that used to sell for quite a lot, but just they now need to unload.
Not a unique scenario.
