thanks, will confirm the shipment when the Mont Blanc is delivered.

Sure, you  can pay the balance now ( US$49.00) .

My balance is sent now too.

 

[Tsujigiri]

Sent the rest of my payment. I'm pretty excited to see how this amp changes the sound on my HD650's!

Anyone know when these will be shipping?

"Before Jan 10th" according to my confirmation email from FiiO

 

[Tsujigiri]

Should be close to shipment, then. Anyone get a confirmation email?
 

 

[gavinfabl]

Not yet but I expect it soon hopefully.

So I got an email asking how much we'd like to declare on customs and that FiiO would be shipping with DHL. I read some online that DHL charges some hefty fees on top of customs. Has anyone had an order shipped from China by DHL to the US? What am I looking at for customs and fees on $100?

 

[Tsujigiri]

Not sure... I've ordered stuff directly from China a few times before and US Customs never interfered. But I don't remember if I used that particular carrier.

I have had packages delivered from China before by DHL and I don't remember the shipping being that unreasonable.  I told FiiO to declare the $99 that it is worth.  I can't imagine it making more than a few dollars difference.

That's good to hear. I started thinking we'd be charged like twenty or thirty bucks because of DHL's handling fees and customs. I'm relieved to hear that hasn't been your experience!

I really hope that is not the case too!  I'm just going off of previous DHL packages I got from China.  I am not sure how the sender wrote them up, but I remember it more in the $5-15 range for small packages.  Lets hope I am not remembering it wrong!!!

So stoked! I'm hoping for this week!

Have they set a release date for those us unlucky ones that weren't able to get the early releases??

 

[pelli]

Just got an email from FiiO, They have been shipped!  Now comes several days of checking my tracking info every couple of hours

It is posted earlier in this thread, or the main E12 thread.  I believe there will be a large run at the end of February or beginning of March...
