Lan Kwei Trading

I bought a GBA SP + F2AU 256mbit there, they sent it from Honk Kong in under a week (but i had to pay extra for fast delivery). But as i received the packet i had to pay 30? VAT, they didn't tell me about VAT in first place... Anyway, the stuff works just fine!

This is also very interesting for all germans because the website is german and you can contact them in german!

Best price for F2A ANYWHERE that I've found.

Good selection of goodies

Website not as easy to navigate as I'd like

Ordering system is a joke (You find what you want, then write them an e-mail to place the order)

Personally, I didn't find any hidden costs. On their site, they do have warnings about customs charges that are out of their control and, as a result, are unpredictable.

Overall, I'd rate this site a 9 out of 10. Lose half a point for site design, half a point for a lack of selection, a full point off for the ordering system, but they get a bonus point for such good prices.

At least when you order, you get a reply back from them. It shows that they have a more personal touch to things, like I'm talking to a real person.

Very true. There's a nice warm feeling you get dealing directly with people.

... unless they're jerks.

But for the record, the people at Lan-Kwei that I've dealt with have been very polite, and a pleasure to deal with.
