FIIo

Hi can anyone recommend a reputable shop/online store where I can buy THE FII0 JM21?
Probably much will depend on where in the world you are.....
They all seem to be pre-order only.
If in UK I have used these:-
 
You can try Amazon, Scan.co.uk or even AliExpress. The latter offers some protection against rogue vendors.
2nd time I've seen a comment like that about Aliexpress but haven't been able to find it myself, it's not like the rating system on Amazon or even fleabay.
Where / what protection are you referring to please, I often buy cheaper things from them where it doesn't matter so much but need to buy a couple of more expensive things and was tempted to use them but was hesitant in case they were fake products.

Good question. It's on AliExpress's Customer Policy Service, though you have to dig deep to find it.

I had one bad experience with one seller on AliExpress, I didn't receive the package.
The seller claimed as they'd dispatched the goods, it wasn't their concern and I should contact Royal Mail.
I had lodged a dispute on the AliExpress, in the same way if the dispute had occurred on eBay. The only difference, eBay would resolve the dispute in a few days or week the most.
On AliExpress it took over a month to resolve and I got my refund in full.

In terms of fake products, check the seller's profile and customer reviews before you buy. Some sellers provide authentic certificates (pinch of salt), I shop there a lot, I can't say I encountered this.
Yes I buy fake Nordost cables (but these are very , very good!), if they costs less than hundred and not a thousand, it has to be fake 🙂

Brands like Hifiman have their online shop on AliExpress, there are others too. Many of ChiFi brands like Topping, SMSL, Eversolo, Gerrard, Denafrips, Fosi, FiiO etc are widely available on AliExpress and in terms of reputation these brands are not going to tolerate fake sellers ripping their brand off. Always check the returns policies before you buy.

It isn't water tight, you just need to do the due diligence before you purchase. I only had one bad experience on AliExpress but many on eBay and Amazon.
The only downside for me on AliExpress, it can take weeks to deliver but it's also much Cheaper!
