Do I really need to tell you, that when it sounds to good to be true, it usually is??

Free shipping from China and a fraction of the cost, say good bye to your money or you will get cheap junk.

Randy: A bit on the abrupt-rude side don't you think?
Maybe say "Thanks for the lead, let us know what happens when you receive your items. " instead of trying to teach a lesson before anyone knows the outcome...He did not ask for anyones opinion!!!

Lots of Chinese parts are pretty darn good. For this price it maybe worth the risk.

Made in China is usually pretty good these days. There are a lot of other countries out there making far less acceptable products.

I have a valve (tube) amplifier made in HK which, with a few tweaks, outperforms kit costing 10x more.

Apple seems pretty happy with the quality from China.

Try looking around first before invoking an old saying.

Lots of vendors on Ebay shipping from China and Hong Kong offer free shipping.

They can do this because postage is very low compared to what USPS charges. $0.65 on the last shipment of 1156 LED bulbs.

The vendors are *extremely* reliable because it is a business for them, not a sideline. They cannot afford to be cutoff by either Ebay or Paypal.

A Blackberry phone case can be had from a HK vendor for $3 including free shipping. The same phone case from a US vendor is about $15 plus shipping. The identical case in a big box store is $35.

Closer to the hearts of JF readers, automotive LED lighting can be had for a fraction of what a US vendor selling the exact same bulb will charge just for shipping.

The Hong Kong vendor is able to be, and chooses to be more competitive.

Default MAF sensor $45

OK guys got my MAF arrived yesterday (from China packed like a russian doll!!) so it takes 10days. The part is a DENSO part exactly the same as the one I took out (all part numbers the same i.e. has DENSO emboss and LNE1620BB, 197408-0021). It works great, I replaced and disconnected battery for 24hrs connected up and drove for 40 miles, no codes car runs fine.

So in a nutshell I can recommend the site. Note your money is held in escrow until you receive the goods and release the escrow for all you nay sayers.

Buy Air Flow Sensor, Mass Air Flow Sensor, LNE1620BB, Air Flow Sensor for (LNE1620BB=197408-0021) at Aliexpress.com

Note if u buy bulk 10pcs he will drop price to $27/each. If you have any other DENSO parts that you need and are not listed just email the site I'm sure they can get them at far cheaper prices than eBay or USA!!

Thanks
Simon

I remember back in the 1960's when 'Made In Japan' was a JOKE!!

We are not laughing at the NIPPON car industry anymore.

I'm missing something here. Denso used to be Japanese. ie Nippon Denso. I worked of a company that installed 5000 ND sparkplugs a month and we had very few rejects. Wait and see.

Great find Simon,
At that price it worth buying one just to have on the shelf, who cares if it takes a month to arrive.
let us all know how it performs out in the long term.

Thanks,

Karl
