Gentlemen, I live in Russia and pretty frequently getting stuff from US. There are strict rules on our customs and sometimes they work pretty poorly (it could take up to one month sometimes, but mostly (9.7 of 10 times) it could be delivered in 2 weeks). For example, if your speakers are weighty then you gonna have to send them divided (30kg (66.14 pounds) per package could be received per month taxfree). Also, always use USPS only since other shipping services are prohibited for individuals here. But there is another way to send it — you can suggest the buyer to ship the package via a forwarder like pochtoy.com or shipito.com for example. It’ll be much more comfortable for the seller in US since the shipping is gonna be within US (such forwarders has their warehouses in different states). When the package arrived to the warehouse, customer gets photos of the package and then picks the best way to ship the package to himself in Russia. Anyway, I just wanted to fix this myth that every Russian is a SCAM since it isn’t, obviously, and we all love audio. So let’s trade more cool stuff transborder). For example, I use an American legend — MC275 in my setup, recently I ordered quad KT88 for it via US store since I trust US sellers more that ours either but I do live here and I’m not a SCAM. |
And one more russian audio enthusiast. For my head-fier enterprise (~80 headphones on metal
http://www.head-fi.org/t/715478/headphones-for-metal-music-ultimate-solution) I have experience of purchase of headphones in different countries - i.e. US, Japan, Australia, Sweden. Never had any problems with sellers (happy me), never sellers had any problem with me. So myths are myths, reality - Russia is NOT the land of brown-bears-hackers )) |
