  Still haven't received my 11 pairs of cheap polarised sunglasses from these guys… I ordered them about 4 months ago.

    Don't think that's really a valid reason for a downvote. Of the dozens of items I've had sent from China, I've had a couple go missing. One of those items was from BIC. I've checked my email history, and this is what happened:
    - raised dispute through PayPay about day 40
    - BIC responded the next day, said "please wait one more week, if still not received, will refund"
    - A week later, BIC asked (with no prompting) "have you received it yet?"
    - I replied no, and two days later Paypal sent me an email saying case closed, has been refunded.

      I've sent them requests for an answer but never got replied. Neg for their poor customer service/ communication.

        Okay then, valid reason for downvote.

        Recommend you talk to suppliers through PayPal's dispute system in future, they are unlikely to ignore those communications. And if they do ignore you, you get a refund.

        @Russ:

        If it is more than 4 months now then PayPal probably won't refund you as it is up to 60 days after payment has been made.

        From 18th November 2014, the PayPal Buyer Protection dispute period will be extended from 45 days to 180 days after the transaction date.

        @Steptoe:
        Good news! Hopefully that doesn't mean the shippers will get even slower, as customers won't necessarily be jumping on PayPal at the 55-60 day mark. In a way, the old 45-day limit was good, it forced shippers to ship promptly. I usually received my goods 3 to 5 weeks after ordering, well within the 45-day PayPal limit.

        @Steptoe: But does this apply to transactions made before 18th November?

        Doesn't appear to exclude them

  Considering these are likely made in a factory in China, I'd say the metric measurement will be the more accurate one. 6ft is just provided to give American customers a rough idea of the length. The factory that they're made in is not going to make 2 different lengths for metric and non-metric countries.

    Maybe, maybe not.

    I have some "3ft 1m" cables that are 90cm long. I think Asian suppliers cater mainly to the USA, who are probably their main market. Looking at Meritline, that certainly seems to be the case, as they have US and China warehouses.
