Should I wait for warmer weather to get my Mobius shipped from China?

[monty]

Hey gang,

Finally ready to buy the mobius for my car. I am curious though as to what people think of me buying during the winter months?

I am afraid because of the frigid weather it would be dead on arrival. Should I wait a couple months or get it now?

It says it takes about 12-31 business days to get here. When I buy stuff like china it takes about 2-3 weeks.

Right now we are around 30 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit / -1 to 6 Celsius but it has dipped to 5 to 12 degrees Fahrenheit / -15 to -11 Celsius.

Thoughts?

Thanks for any help!

My advice is to go with an authorized US seller.

I bought mine from SpyTec, since I was visiting Ny and could go to the store. TJ was very helpful and they have a great price for a dash cam package ($85). Another seller I explored was Novotm.com in Massachusetts, which also had a complete Dash cam package with a few extras and has great reviews ($88). Any of these will get it to you fast and the cold won't affect it.

Chinese New Year is coming, expect the shipping to take longer than normal, maybe buy from @spytec is a better option anyway

Thanks for the replies. I found a reliable seller on ebay that is less than 15 miles away, ships next day, and has 100% feedback. It is $6 more but worth it. I'll order it Sunday night and hopefully be delivered by Wednesday.

Can't wait!

Make sure he is on the approved list I posted earlier. There are fakes out there

You should worry more about the Daleks hijacking it; as that's more likely.

Storage temps on solid state electronics are usually -20C if not -30. It simply is not an issue.
