Agreed. Mine took 7 weeks to arrive and the box was smashed, but the unit in a clear plastic box was alright. Shipping was inexpensive, less than it would cost for me to ship the same box across town. I doubt the seller could answer any questions about the thing.

In my experience, few of the Internet sellers have any knowledge of electronics test items; they sell a very wide variety of items from clothing to cooking pans. I was lucky and got my nanovna quickly, without damage and working properly, a few days ago. The shipping cost, via mail to the United States was very low.

I'm currently in the process of buying from Maggie at the link Hugen
provided, and the shipping charge (to Sweden) seems to be nowhere near $40.
I'll report when i know more exactly.

I have never looked at Alibaba, but I believe that the buyer protection is
a lot poorer than eBay, so I would be relevant to purchase from there.
There¡¯s no need to spend $40 on DHL shipping. The post office should be
much cheaper.
Mine from eBay had the screening, battery, 4 traces and 900 MHz. The
display didn¡¯t work but, but Hugen said that they are delicate. The seller
replaced it, so I can not complain.
The biggest issue is construction quality.
Personally I would ask eBay sellers to confirm the units they sell have
what you are looking for. Then you have yourself far better covered than
via Alibaba.
