hi phil

i’m sorry i couldn’t recommend an agent. ask around as these agents specialise in different countries.

i don’t need an agent as i could read/write mandarin and could order directly.

freight charge is different country to country. for malaysia, it’s not too extreme as i believe there are lots of freight containers playing this china-malaysia route.

for germany, i have no idea. best is to ask around. or go through an agent.

glad you still like your usb monica!

thx!

yeo

Nice article. I also found a lot of nice items on Taobao. But until now I have not dared to buy some items from this very big market place. But after your positive feedback I might give it a try. I have some questions where you maybe can help me. What does it mean to buy via an agent? And where do I find the matching agent for the Taobao offer I want to buy? How much were the shipping costs for your order?

Kind Regards from Germany and Thanks in advance for your help

Phil

PS: Almost ten years ago I bought USB Monica from you. Time is running way to fast. Of course I still have the Monica 🙂

the one i bought, they quoted one pair, but best is to clarify with the seller.

Yeo,
For the cabinet, is the price quoted for 1 unit or for a pair?

hi fauzi

i remember it was through an agent. due to the weight, it was easier thru an agent.

the corals would excel in a horn. that’s for sure!

Yeo,
Did you bought the cabinet direct from Taobao or via agent?
I want to do up my Coral too..(bought them from you years ago, now fixed them on open baffle)..

hi fauzi

thanks for stopping by.

obviously i can’t tell you how well it’ll perform as i don’t have direct experience with it, except for the horns i wrote about in this article.

go try it. it doesn’t cost much anyway and you know very well you can’t get this done locally at this price.

do update me once you have tried so. can even feature an article with your project!

thx!

yeo

I looked at taobao just now. There are two suppliers for these kind of cabinet, and yours one I also found. The other seller have a different shape of internal enclosure, but it is very2 cheap.
My question is, is the cheaper one workable too? Hehe…
