    Importing Chinese phone during lockdown

    The "declared" value on the phone was around 200 dollars, but the actual cost of the phone was around $700 at the time. You definitely won't pay 1k on a $150 purchase.

    Rain 5g cancellation

    Hi guys, need a bit of advice concerning my Rain 5g cancellation. Had it for over a year now, struggled with intermittent terrible connection and speeds.

    I ordered this as well. It does include the import fees, it's marked as "import fees deposit" on the invoice. If the customs duty owed is more than the amount you have paid, Amazon covers it, if it's less, you'll get a marginal refund

    Importing Chinese phone during lockdown

    No other issues. Yes, express shipping by DHL, about a week till I got, no issues there. Ordered a OnePlus 8, they declared a much lower value, I think 200 usd, so customs was quite cheap, around 1k. Just be aware that if the shipment is stopped for inspection, you will most definitely be fined...

    Antenna for B612 , West Rand

    Well it works for me, literally needed 2m of extra coverage, did the job for like 100 bucks at the time. Obviously just moving the router would be plan A, but since the OP can't, a cheap repeater is the next best thing

    I'd get something like this, you can get cheaper ones that do the same job. Antennas aren't going to help you improve WiFi signal.
