Title: where to buy RIGOL DS1052E oscilloscope
Post by: aruna1 on May 28, 2011, 10:11:30 PM
Hi
I want to buy this

and have two shopping options.

Buy from dealextreme
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/rigol-ds1052e-5-6-tft-lcd-50mhz-2-channel-digital-color-storage-oscilloscope-30573 (http://www.dealextreme.com/p/rigol-ds1052e-5-6-tft-lcd-50mhz-2-channel-digital-color-storage-oscilloscope-30573)

or

buy from dealexcel
http://www.dealexcel.com/rigol-ds1052e-50mhz-band-widths-2channel-digital-oscilloscope_p363.html (http://www.dealexcel.com/rigol-ds1052e-50mhz-band-widths-2channel-digital-oscilloscope_p363.html)

I heard that dealextreme has this sudden product unavailable thing. You order one and has to wait forever to product to become available in stocks and ship. and they don't have this live help thing that I can use to ask them whether stocks are available before make my order.
But on the other hand dealextreme is pretty famous and has lot of user review.

As for the dealexcel, they are not famous but I havent read any user comment saying sudden stock unavailable problem like with dealextreme. but have read bad buyer experience posted in this with rigol oscilloscope brought from dealexcel.

So I'm very much appreciate if you can share your opinion and your experience with these two stores.
thank you

PS:
I need the item within about week or two

I bought my  Rigol Scope from MCS Test Equipment.

They are an authorized distributor for Rigol and I thought the price was pretty reasonable.

I bought one from these guys and later discovered it was shipped from Asia, although they have a USA address.

They sell on ebay too.  I'd buy from them again.
