I have ordered other items from Hong Kong and they were shipped UPS. Granted, there was a bit more cost involved, but it was easier to track and more timely in receiving.

I would never let UPS come anywhere near my house if you paid me. I would rather they strap my damn MP4 to a pack mule, than to give it to a UPS driver. These people make a sport of your packages. I think they call it "packball". The goal is to see how many packages you can kick into the truck. Then after they go all Hannibal Lecter on your package, you get slapped with a MASSIVE pack of import fees for using UPS.
I don't think most people are expecting miracles when they order something directly from Hong Kong. At least they shouldn't be. I ordered several players from UXcell, I am in Canada, they came in under two weeks. From my very first order, I was expecting to wait a month before I even thought about inquiring about the order.

If anything, Uxcell should offer the choice of shipping. $5 or $10 shipping? Hey, that's great!! Except you have to wait over a month. $20 and I get it in two weeks (or less) and I can track the shipment properly? That's even better.

You're right, I don't see a problem with them offering fast ship for those who want to pay in full for it. BUt I have to say, after seeing the kind of ripoff prices that eBay sellers are charging to ship items even smaller than the Glacier, I rather like UXcells shipping scheme (how about $35 US to Canada for USPS shipping of a 2" mp3 player located in the US? how about $5 to ship the same player from another seller? its a MADHOUSE I tell ya!). The amazingly low shipping is why I would order from UXcell.

Being from Saskatchewan, all I wanted was to be listening to my spanky new Mp4 player while watching my dog run away for 7 days. :lol:

Get one for your dog! At these prices, how can you not? He'll be your best friend.
