They're safe, but take forever to ship, as a lot of members will probably soon tell you. Cheap prices = Cheap merchandise however. I bought a 120 GB Xbox 360 HDD from them, and it just died after 2 months or so. It was pre-owned though, so that adds into it.

All-in-all, they are good, and a lot of products are good quality, but some are bad, so look at reviews on the site for whatever you plan on ordering.

Heh. No problem. I'll probably be on later today. It's 2:06 AM here, so I have to get sleep soon.

I think they're based in Hong Kong, but someone has to double check me on that. In my experience, DX usually ships within 5 days or less and I live in Australia just like you (don't know which side you live in though).

Yeah, they're located in Hong-Kong.

I'm assuming it ships fast to Australia because it's closer to Hong-Kong than the US, which is what I said takes forever to ship to. It's like 2 weeks shipping time for the US...Which sucks...

You think 2 weeks is bad? It's 3-4 weeks to Croatia

Shipping times are really unpredictable - I've had stuff shipped the day after I ordered it and with me within about 4 days, other stuff has taken ages even to be packaged and sent out and by the time I've got it I'd forgotten that I'd ordered it.

very safe

they actually reply to any kind of customer support you need

and unlike many places you dnt have problems with like tracking numbers etc

only "problem" is shipping time, but then again its free (its kind of unpredictable but the average is around a week)
