Just out of curiosity, may i ask what shipping rates/methods people are using?.. for example.. are you paying the rediculously high UPS shipping or the standard and much cheaper rates (US$5, AU $7, GBP 3, EUR 4 etc etc) and how long it took to arrive?
More detail on this would appreciated

Cheers

@Oddysey : Is there a choice on this ??? o_O .... the only thing there was ... FLAT RATE if that ever come accross ur mind if and IF u ever buy from the uxcell website . Unless u are asking ABOUT the company who sell it at what they are using ~_~ .

I am referring to the shipping rates on the Uxcell.com website. If you purchased your media player from them (unless it only appears to specific countries, which I doubt) you would have the choice of 2 methods. Either to have your item delivered by UPS, or by Standard Shipping. I would like to know what method anyone here chose, and how long it took to be delivered according to thier choice of shipping. Another reason i'm asking is to understand why, when converted to Australian$, UPS shipping costs more than the mp4 player i want to purchase. :roll:

I haven't received my MP4 yet, however it's TOOO SOOON for me to receive it. I've ordered on the cheapiest (Standard Shipping) which was $5 to me (Brazil). Plus if you buy more than one item together it would cost ($5 + $2 + ... $2).
I know that where I live, it will take more than usual to arrive as whenever it gets to my city, the Policy will check it up and perharps tax it... =(
For my brother, it took more than 3 weeks however it arrived in my city in less than 2 weeks.

I used the standard $5 shipping...I'm quite sure the player is stuck in the customs or something, even though the Hong Kong Post tracking service only specifies "sent on Jan 25th"...oh well I'll keep you updated

marcolo, ciao anch'io ho acquistato da uxcell un mp3 glacier in data 22/01/2007 e ancora non ho notizie. Puoi dirmi come fare per capire a che punto è la spedizione, se per caso il prodotto è gia' in Italia?
Ciao.

Re: average delivery time
 

ciao! non devi fare altro che telefonare al numero gratuito delle poste italiane (803160) comunicandogli il numero che immetti nel sito delle poste di hong-kong, per intenderci quello che inizia con "RA" se hai scelto la spedizione standard. A me hanno detto che il tempo medio per entrar e in Italia è 15-20 giorni, quindi attendiamo con calma che i nostri cari servizi ci permettano di usufruirne presto...!

ciao!

CHICLETE, eu tbm comprei na UXCELL e meu pedido foi enviado dia 6/2 comprei no dia 2/2...
cara.. se puder me dizer quanto dmorou pra chegar o seu eu fikaria mto agradecido...

i have a poor english =/

thks man

@tiobilyy
Eu pedi e paguei no dia 30 de Janeiro e eles enviaram dia 2 de fevereiro. Ainda não recebi já que faz muito pouco tempo, mas assim que eu receber eu te mando a notícia... e tipo, eu sou do Rio, e pelo o que eu sei, as coisas enviadas aqui pro Rio costumam demorar mais que nos outros estados porque aqui a PF pega mais pesado, assim como em Minas.

Hi friends. Well i thought I would add my 'info' here.. as i got a rather nice surprise in the mail about 30 minutes ago. My new 1GB Full Metal Platinum arrived!! Quickly I might add too!

Ordered on Jan 29, 2007. Shipped from Hong Kong on Jan 31. Arrived in 'outback' Queensland Australia, Feb 7.
I paid AU$7 postage plus AU$5 additional shipping insurance.

I really feel for those of you who are still waiting, i can only assume the reasons are it has further to travel and different countries postal/import regulations must slow it down alot.
The package was a little squashed, but it was in the box sealed inside a thick brown envelope/post bag. I'll add my review in the 'review' section when i've had more time to give it a decent charge and fiddle with it some more. Seems great so far.

For my first purchase i say "Well done Uxcell!"

Cheers
