I noticed nothing had been added to this post since Feb. 2017.
Perhaps a more current purchase experience in Aug. this year would be of interest.
I was particularly interested in the latest Viofo A119S V2, with GPS & CPL.
I reside in Ontario Canada and wanted to deal through eBay.ca
I knocked out sellers that had the lowest or highest price.
The lowest lowball and add costs, the highest want to make a big score.
I wanted free shipping included to avoid added surprise costs.
I was looking for a seller who would respond promptly and accurately to my questions about the specifications and details of the unit they were selling.
You would be surprised how many fluffed themselves up and lacked knowledge about the unit I was inquiring about. Further, there are some US sellers that don't ship to Canada or charge a very high shipping fee to ship here.
I narrowed down my list to 3 sellers.
I looked at how long they had been selling on eBay and their record.
I finally ordered my Viofo A119S, V2, GPS, CPL through eBay.ca
The seller I selected on eBay.ca was 2013tranhowe123. located in Shenzen China
Their professional response and knowledge of the product was excellent
Kristina on the order desk promised me I would have the latest firmware and accessories.
On Mon. Aug. 14, 2017 I purchased my dash cam, item#222606396856 for US116.99, with no charge for shipping.
On Wed. Aug. 16th it was sent to the carrier, ePacket in Shenzen China, with just one tracking number that both ePacket and Canada Post would use.
Thur. Aug 17th left China for Canada
Tue. Aug. 22nd arrived in Richmond, BC Canada handed over to Customs
Wed. Aug. 23rd released from Customs, in transit
Thur. Aug. 24th received delivery in my hometown in Ontario Canada
The packaging was of excellent quality materials and the firmware was the latest along with everything else.
Tue. Aug. 29th installed and working perfectly, couldn’t be happier.
I hope the Aug. 2017 purchase and shipping experience is informative.
