Looking at the waybill, mine came out of Singapore. I have a little shop in the basement where I noodle with guitar pedals, and I've ordered lots of electronic components from China and Singapore over the past years. To date, the stuff from Singapore always tends to edge out the Chinese stuff in terms of quality and service. That's why I was a bit taken aback when they would not refund me the discount. Anyways, who cares now, lesson saved to hard disk.
