Does anyone know of a website that sells the iBasso D2+ Boa? I have looked and must have overlooked the site, but they all seem to be in China on the web and eBay. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thank You

iBasso has no brick-and-mortar representation in the US that I know of. They're a Chinese company, designed and built there. So far as I know, the only outlets are their site and ebay, both of which have been reliable for many users here.

Their site is trust worthy, I don't see the problem.

Shipping and delivery can take quite some time, no?

Well if you consider 2 or 3 days a long time I guess but it seems faster than most anyplace I have ordered from.

That is what I thought as well. In my experience just getting a product through customs can take 2-3 days.

I ordered a D4 from Ibasso yesterday, received the tracking confirmation today and expect delivery by Friday. They use UPS Wordwide Saver service which quotes transit time China to U.S. two to three business days.

They accept PayPal so you don't even need to expose your CC info if you wish.

Good to know. I am certainly more likely to try out an iBasso if that is the case.

I believe they are in Hong Kong, China. They shipped my D10 through DHL and it only took 3 days.

The UPS Tracking info I received suggests the origin point for Ibasso is SHENZHEN, China.

They are indeed in China. If you check out the iBasso Sponsorship Forum on here, there's a thread about iBasso and DHL, and the experiences of folks with iBasso shipping.

They are a top notch company in terms of customer service, to my knowledge, but delivery times range widely from 3 to 10 days. Rarely longer than that, though. From my day of order with them directly, it took approximately 10 days to get to my home, including weekends, so more like 6-7 business days. In my case, they seem to have listened to head-fi users and others (at least for U.S. shipments), and did not use DHL, but EMS (China's Postal Service's shipping wing) to USPS. They gave a tracking number for EMS which also worked on the USPS website after it left China, although, per others' experience, the tracking number did not start showing up on the EMS website until a day or two after it was given to me (this was happening for folks who had iBasso ship through DHL, too, if I remember correctly).

I dug around in the sponsor forums and it seems that 3-5 days is pretty common. Apparently iBasso is famous for poor communication and super fast shipping and excellent customer service. Personally I could care less whether you talk to me or not, just send me my stuff fast so D2+ boa should be here when I get back from Miami next week.

They really do have super fast shipping....I ordered from them last Sunday (Monday in China) and received my T3 on Thursday. 4 days from China to south Florida...not bad..

As I mentioned in earlier posts, I ordered my D4 on 11/3, it shipped on 11/4 and I received it today. Amazing.

Shenzhen, China to Seattle, WA 2 days.
