WARNING..... Addictive web-site details follow....
Pack of 2 x 9LED mini flashlight for... five dollars and 48 cents.. whassat about £1.35 per light with free delivery from hongkong. One for the tool box, one for the glove box, one for your pocket and one for the hell of it! (Best buy 2 packs)
Don't say I didn't warn you!! Delivery was around 7 days or so.
Just waiting for my first delivery from them...any day now!
I have got itchy fingers now.... Soooooo much to tempt a man.
Women just wouldn't undestand. :¬))
Are those prices in Hong Kong dollars or US?
"
Great site. Just be aware that unless it's showing as "In Stock" the due dates can be a bit "economical".
US$
Don't bet on it Bob - I've used them before. They sell brilliant little toys for pennies, but the delivery arrangements are haphazard at best.
Yep, got one here on my desk - great site but be patient re delivery!
Shame, or they really would have been good prices!
Haphazard maybe, but not known anything missing. Between a group of us we must have placed >40 orders with DX over the last year or so - can take from 5 days up to several weeks to turn up but it always has so far!
Beware the rare earth magnets they sell - strangely addictive :)

Is air mail delivery really included? I couldn't believe my eyes!
I ordered with 'eyes open' - when it arrives, it arrives...
Slug mail, I suspect.... but it arrives eventually, cheap and fun
Sort of. Your package does indeed go by air but they seem to have negotiated a really good deal with the HK Post Office which I suspect is based on goods going on a "space available" basis. This is a very cost effective way of shipping but may mean your parcel goes via the Arctic and Venezuela. Apart from the rather variable delivery times (which they do tell you about) the service is very good.
And labeled up as "gifts" for customs#though you'd be hard pushed to spend more than £50 in one shipment, and why would you want to when it's free delivery anyway. Great way of avoidubg import duty and VAT. ;¬)

Try supermagnete.de if you like those. They sell everything from pinhead sized ones up to something called "The Death Magnet". That page says something like "and please, never, ever allow children to play with the Death Magnet".
Pete
Damn, can't see the link for that one :-}
When did it go up from £18?
It hasn't and I don't think that he was saying that £50 was the limit. However, IME, at under £50 or so, often the VAT isn't collected since it probably costs as much to process it.
that's a measly 100Kg force
try 200Kg
