Other What's on Taobao

Hello, I'm about to get the ZS A4-DC. Can some who knows Chinese be able to translate the top paragraph for me? I've got it up on Bhiner, but the text is apart of an image so the auto translate won't work.

I would like to know if it comes with both back panels and if there is an option I need to press.

I always wanted a taller Ghost S1 with the Marvel SHIELD logo on it. Having that logo alone gets a thumbs up from me

Hello, I'm about to get the ZS A4-DC. Can some who knows Chinese be able to translate the top paragraph for me? I've got it up on Bhiner, but the text is apart of an image so the auto translate won't work.

I would like to know if it comes with both back panels and if there is an option I need to press.

The top paragraph is just the spec of the case, which does not mention anything explicitly related to the 2 back panels. But, indirectly, regarding the storage devices, it just says what can be supported under 1u power supply and under direct dc power supply. There, it mentions about using a full height display card vs half height display card.
So, I suppose this refers indirectly to the 2 back panels where one is for full height card while the other is for half height card.
The first (of the 10) buyer's feedback said a lot of accessories was bundled with the case and did also mention 2 back panels were included (but did not say if the 2nd panel was ordered as an extra with extra money).

If I have to guess, I would guess not. I would think the 2 panels are included in the standard default package. I checked the entire page and see no place to order the 2nd panel as an option.

However, I have a little suspicion that the PCIe riser cable might not be included and has to be ordered separately. The reason is that the maker of the case is selling that cable as a separate item in this link:- (for ￥115 for ZS-A4DC)

As far as the 2 listed prices (￥580 or 600), I think, 600 is for the 'iron man limited edition' while 580 is for the rest colour options.

But, of course, if you are using an agent, maybe it is best to ask him to confirm with the shop first.
(Looks like this will be a very tight fit build, good luck!)

I recently purchased the ZS-A4DC through Superbuy. I can confirm that it comes with both back panels but does not come with a PCIE riser like tinyitx thought. You just have to add it on separately. Feel free to message me if you have any more questions and I'll see if I can help.

When you are in a foreign country and you order something from Taobao through an agent (Superbuy or Bhiner or whatever), how much 'overhead' do you pay?
I mean, in general, what is that 'extra agent fee' that you have to pay on top of the cost of the item? Is that a fixed percentage of the cost of the item? How does the exchange rate work out?

For me, the cost for items was usuall 96-97% of the final price. Then there's shipping cost to the warehouse, and then shipping cost to your location. For example, my items totaled 125.42 USD, but then additional fee got it to 129.67 USD. Another item had the same fee % increase. The shipping will vary depending on size and weight.

You mean, 3-4% of the cost of the items is the extra agent fee?
How about the exchange rate? Does an agent use the daily prevailing rate or a 'jacked up' rate ?

Let's take a hypothetical order. To make it simple, let's say you want to place an order of a single item. Say, take the Sunmilo C01, with a package volume of 40x30x30 cm and a package weight of 5kg and listed at RMB 900.

If you order this case and the shipping address is either west (or east) coast of US, how much will the total cost be?
It would be great if you can have a breakdown of how the final total cost comes to.

So I bought this case listed at CN ￥718.00 (went for package A or with honeycomb airflow) in May. Exchange rate at the time had the product come out to $109.28 according to Superbuy (though today it would be around $104.98).

Add in a PCIe Riser for ¥106.00, which Superbuy says exchanges to $16.14 (today's value on google says $15.50).

The total wound up to $125.42 USD according to Taobao (today's exchange rate says $120.48) before shipping to the warehouse which I can't find the yuan value, but says $4.27 to ship to the Guangdong warehouse making for a total of $129.67 (turns out there is no % fee for superbuy, as I made a mistake of using today's exchange rate rather than what exchange rate was in May at the time of payment; exchange rate today would make it $120.48 + 4.26 = $124.74, which is 96% or 4% off from what I paid - OR they are giving me an exchange rate that is 4% off).

Then there's the shipping to west coast USA; they originally estimated it to be $42 + custom fees of $1.20 + optional insurance $2.58 - discount of $1.35 came out to be $44.43. But the actual came out to be $36.90 so they have refunded $5.10 back to my account for future or extraction through Paypal (never did this yet). I'm not sure if they presented the yuan prices for shipping as I can only remember the USD values. Someone else can confirm if I've been scammed on shipping.

Total for everything including the shipping comes to about $169.02 which isn't too bad for a made to order case. I paid well over $250 for a mATX case from Case Custom Mod in Ukraine and that took half a year from the payment date to arrival. My experience with LZmod Studio has been overall good as their cases are real sturdy for being aluminum while being light and also only taking a month from payment to arrival. Only thing is a lack of manuals and lots of tinkering with the power button since I had no idea which was the LED pins and which were the actual power pins...

@tinyitx @AccountIsTaken Thanks, I've ordered the case and the riser. Just waiting it to arrive at their warehouse and then I will get it shipped to where I live.

Not sure if it will work, but you can try google translating "handle" to mandarin and then try putting "taobao itx" in front of that when you search google?

These are the ones I know of.

For people who have ordered through Superbuy I was wondering what this means:
We have urged the seller to ship, but the seller didn't reply to us the date of shipment, and we will help you follow until delivery.

I also got an email saying the shipping has been deferred. I'm assuming this means the seller hasn't given Superbuy the tracking number?

I've gotten that before. I also sent an inquiry about it, to which Superbuy usually answer and badger the seller for date of shipment. Usually it's because the seller has to stock up or make it on demand from whatever parts he has. One case for me the seller delayed for getting things together for packaging. Another time, the same deffered statement was apparently due to the seller was still making the product. your mileage may vary.

Would the best course of action would be to just wait and let it sort itself out?

I'd still inquire, so that you can figure out why it is happening or at what is the holdup at the given stage.

You can inquire with the "Contact" button. Then you'll have an "enquiry", where they'll keep a record of your communication with their agent.

There is an acrylic and an aluminum version and they are 2.2 and 3.6 dollars respectively (approx). The prices are for 25-50cm cable lengths with longer ones available on request. There are also two connector orientations.

Plan on getting them for my next build!
