    I haven't had much experience with Tahiti, but I have had one package take 3 months. That's the longest I ever had anything get tied up in customs. That was Brazil. I figure that has to be...

    The reason is fairly simple. It's a decent amount to start caring if you lose the money or not. $50 isn't such a big deal, going above that starts getting sketchy and by $200 or so, you really...

    It's usually better to buy from an established store if you are going to buy power or duals anymore. I prefer to buy things like that in person though I will trust an Ebay seller if they have a ton...

    And of course file with Paypal also (if you used it) since for some reason despite being owned by the same people it is separate when it comes to disputes. It's quite easy to get your money back.
