Well staying in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) means a longer wait for me. Seeing that EFN got his package in less than a week after receiving the mail of shipping, I'm still hopeful of getting it soon.

But your's should be there sooner. Happy waiting

You know what? If I am Dr.Xin's marketing consultant I will tell him to put all this info on his website. Turn the whole "waiting for Xin amps" into a community binding experience.

I, for one, wouldn't mind seeing a big display of the most recent shipment's date of order, number of days it took, or even having the receiver reports back on shipping time etc. Of cause the lucky guy with shortest waiting time get his name in honorable place, until someone else beats him.

But oops! it's going to take more of Dr.Xin's time so, must be a fansite instead. Anyone interest in building one? Hehe

Hi guys,

You know when you order your Xin Product. And then you get that sales e-mail from fixup.net. IS the price that is listed there the final price or is there still sale tax to be included or what not?

Thanks guys,

These are good times for hifi equipment mfrs. The global economy is booming and the middle class has money to spend, burning holes in their pockets. But for small mfrs., this can be a nightmare. Competition increases, the backlog mounts, people start complaining and it's impossible to find qualified staff to reduce the backlog.

There are two extreme responses to this:

The first is for the mfr. to tell the truth about the backlog and then make good on his commitment, even if it involves a 6-month wait.

The second is to give a highly unrealistic delivery date that the mfr knows he can not meet (a lie) and fend anxious-to-angry customers off with more stories (lies).

There are lots of shades in between.

Where does Xin lie on this scale?

Bigizzy - purchases via Paypal HAVE to be charged immediately - that's is how Paypal works. When you pay via a CC - it is NOT charged until day of shipping by Dr. Xin. There are no financial surprises. No tax. Simply, you are charged for what you order at the prices posted, and the shipping cost posted.

Frihed - to class Dr. Xin, Headphile, or other such people as Mfgrs. is a bit of a misnomer. They need to be recognized more as artizens and do not work on an assembly-line basis.........and what they do is highly personal for them. They do whatever they do because they psychically enjoy their craft, as much as any renumeration. They are pleasing themselves (and I would not wish them to anything else). You need to accept them and their products for what they are, and enjoy them....... or not. They are scrupulous in being very fair to their customers, and deliver very high quality, unique products. Those who carp about how an individual runs his own business should conserve his energy and simply move on to a cooky-cutter-styled manufacturer.
