Me, I wonder if when someone in Hong Kong does not want to sell something to the OP does he get on an international list and complain about it? The simple fact is that most of us over here in the USA are rather provincial, we do not understand that it is now a world community.

OTOH, I ordered something from HK three weeks ago and it has not showed up yet. Most private sellers want to put the thing in the mail, and that is the end of it. When you ship internationally, lots of times it is weeks or months of "Where is my item?" I have ordered lots of cheap stuff from HK, usually it is here in a week, sometimes it takes a couple of months; who knows why that is?

Then there is the issue of strange duties charged to the buyer in other countries that they blame the seller for. Sometimes I wonder why anyone in the US would ship anything outside the country.
