This is why I avoid buying from China. The extra $3 is worth it to me if the products come in a timely manner.

You can pick up paracord at any sporting goods store/Amazon, heatshrink at any hardware store/Amazon and Di-Noc on Amazon. Why did you order from China?

That paracord is about what you can get on Amazon (within a few dollars) and I picked up 100 feet for $12 at my local sporting good store a few months back, the 3M is cheap if it really is 3M (but Di-Noc isn't that expensive). Make sure you have a decent heat gun for applying the vinyl.

No offense but penny wise and a pound foolish. Pick where to save money, saving less than 20 bucks and having to wait a long time isn't worth it, at least not to me.

This reminds me of something recent. My girlfriend ordered a PS2 usb adapter to use her controller for emulators. She shown me the adapter was a dollar cheaper with X company and was hardcore considering getting it..I had to talk her down that saving a dollar isn't worth waiting 3 weeks for something out of China. She eventually caved in and spent a dollar more to get it shipped within the US. I can't believe how stubborn she can be.

Shipping was garenteed to be less than 20days and if it is more its free.

Also, I can wait as I need to get my cables .etc ready

Got exactly the same order, but it took 6 weeks to get here. I also don't like waiting for orders to come in. Especial when I have to sign for them because it is such a pain in the arse when I have to track down the courier for a second attempt.

Wait till you got Dremel tool on the way, BF4 downloaded (will be released in Poland 29th at 0:00 GMT+1) and you have to work 2 days straight and have no option to mod your case or play BF4 abd have to get thru 2 days...
