Of course. That's where I ordered it ... twice!
And, for $21.51 total charges.

It would probably take as long as normal HK local mail. From past experience with DX, they usually ship items quite fast (at least when they have them in stock).
On the other hand, I am still waiting for my Morocco-re-routing-Mp4Nation-E5 to arrive, which is over three weeks now. Though they assure me it is on the correct way, I start to really doubt it now.

and a little guy waits....
My Fiio E5 should arrive this morning...and it's morning! (over here, 8:25am).
Yay for local supplier.
It's from a guy called 'geob' here on Head-fi and he's an official and sole supplier of Fiio products (they make more than just the E3/E5) in New Zealand
Maybe try contacting him and see whether he can ship international.
His website: Sail West Home (Don't let the so-so website put you off).
He can blame me later for the annoying email from Head-fi'ers

Dammit, it was on my front door step lying there >.<
Anyway, testing right now!
Yeah, I can see why the im716's are recommended with an amp now.
The E5 is much much better than the E3.
Less/ no hiss, better balanced (but you can still get the E3 bass boost goodness in the bass mode), includes an instruction manual in well written English (and Chinese on the other side), and it's really small. It's about the same size as the E3 only more square.
It includes a long interconnect and a shorter interconnect cable which is useful for most people as you don't want a long interconnect cable annoying you.
I'll post a couple of pics later!

im716 bass mode + fiio bass boost = really boomy bass (and that's without any Mach3Bass on my D2!)
That said, the Fiio's bass boost is better than the one on the im716.
It retains the quality of the highs while boosting the bass unlike the im716's bass boost, which drowns out the highs.
Testing out with some rap atm (Jay-Z's 'Black Album', which is very well mastered, no Loudness War at all, which is a rarity in rap albums, especially mainstream ones + a great rap album, mainstream or not).
More initial impressions are that it does increase the soundstage, more so than the E3 did.

if you read the first post or googled any reviews of the e5, they state that one of its improvements over the e3 is higher output
