Is there a catch to this? I Just got a shirt for 1.99$ canadian with 7GBP for shipping. Now if my math is right, i just bought a shirt and got it shipped for close to 10$ NICE. But, how long does it take to ship from Hong Kong usually? and is it a good chance my shirt is just a knock off?

From what I understand, there is a good chance it is a knockoff, and you can expect it to show up within approximately 2 weeks.

Never done a shirt from there. Generally shipping is faster than if the item is coming from the states. [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] Figure that one out. My wife has actually gotten quite a few items from Hong Kong.

And shipping is usually amazingly fast, considering where it is coming from

You will have to pay 25% duties on textiles from Hong Kong.

This seller gets WAY too many negative comments for my liking. 63 this month alone!!

Although you might be getting the shirt for around $18 shipped from Hong Kong, don't forget there could be brokerage & customs fees as well as duty & taxes.

I think you might be smarter to check out your local Winners store for something like this. I've seen this brand there before.
