Purchasing from jinke.com.cn. Is it safe?

I've recently discovered this page on the Hanlin creators' web site:
http://www.jinke.com.cn/compagesql/e...o/howtobuy.asp

Has anybody tried to purchase the device according to that instructions?
They don't accept paypal or CC payments and i don't feel safe about sending money to China by by T/T...

I would be glad to read any information about this way of getting the device

I purchased the V3 like this and there were no issues. Obviously a little bit scary at first just sending off your money but confirmation of sending he V3 was received within a couple of days and it arrived in due course. I got mine about 8 months ago and I've never heard of anyone having problems.

Likewise, no problems. Received mine within 10 days. The provided courier ID code allowed me to easily track it's delivery progress online.

Did a direct deposit to Jinke's account and received my HanLin within 2 weeks.

My only complaint was the high postage charge (US$50.00 China to Australia)

Depending on which country you are in, you may have a local reseller.

Took them about a week (5 days) to send it to the us. Everything was packed professionally. I am happy with them.

It's false alarm, maybe it's global policy, let's assume .cn sites are harmful
Anyway, if you are in EU then there are plenty other options available, example from http://iscriptum.eu/
