**Please note, Pictures will be added soon.
I made an order with eHobby Asia March 26, roughly 7am EST...
A gun and an additional mag.
The order process went well, was a bit surprised by the $40 standard shipping charge. When I compared it to local state-side sellers, the FULL amount of the order and shipping was roughly the base price of the gun alone state-side, so comparing Apples to Apples I was accepting of this.
I finalized my order through Paypal (I a Paypal-whore) and the eHobby Order Confirmation actually beat the Paypal confirmation. That doesn't happen often.
During the payment process, I was given an option of canceling the order if an item is on backorder, waiting it out, or receiving store credit. I chose to cancel the order and receive a refund. I was also able to leave additional instructions. So in my simplest English I said if one item was backordered cancel the entire order and refund me. No sense in having a magazine without the gun.
Anyways, 13hrs later I see my order is still in the processing stage. Not a big surprise. My order went in roughly 7pm China Time, and it's currently roughly 8am China Time, so I expect to wake up and see my order either being packed or about to be shipped.
I've been instructed the average shipment time to my location is 5-7 days (I chuckled).
Though the high risk made me a bit uneasy...

Shipping was done via UPS, which thoroughly surprised me. I was expecting standard Postal-type shipping. That $40 for shipping started looking a bit better. I know this is one of the key things MOST of you are waiting on, so here it is... The FULL tracking info as per UPS. Please note, ALL times and dates are local in regards to the item's location.

Roughly 36hrs for UPS to get my order, 3 days for it to reach my door step.
I was in disbelief as I was expecting AT LEAST 2 weeks shipping.
Now for the next thing you all are waiting on... the item.
[PICS ARE IN POST #3 OF THIS THREAD]
The packaging of the gun: eHobby Asia colored over ANY trademark info. The top and ALL side have little black etches where I assume "Sig" or "Sig Sauer" was once written on the box.
Upon opening the box to expose the gun, there was black tape covering the gun's trademarks. The tape was secure enough to keep itself attached, but removing it was not a problem one bit. In fact I didn't even have to use my nails, the nubs of my fingers did the job. The tape didn't leave residue or any evidence that tape was once there. Below the tape, the trademarks.

In all, they exceeded my expectations. I'd definitely order from them again, BUT I would compare their prices with shipping to the state-side prices. Shipping is self-explanatory, quality is self-explanatory (as soon as pics are shown).
Final Grade: A Solid A.
I'm quite impressed.
