    Got my refund, not problem. The SSD sits somewhere in customs mnl from where i get a 'barcode was scanned' notice everyday from the tracking site.
    Amazon customer chat told me it was lost. Well whatever, not my problem anymore. I send UPS one waiver letter to ask to bypass this BS but no answer yet.

    Yes, ther is a reason why i did not order locally. I wanted a 2tb specific crucial ssd i could not find locally so ordered on amazon.
    Now i ordered a Kingston on shopee. Much cheaper but not the one i actually wanted. I just have very good experience with Crucial MX series, very fast and reliable.

    I'm not sure if this the reason but they do produce and export quite a bit of electronics.

    I believe I have read they provide China with a lot of their circuit boards.

    They also produce HHD and SSD storage cards with Toshiba: https://asia.nikkei.com/Editor-s-Pi...n-out-world-leading-hard-drive-in-Philippines

    My thoughts exactly. I've just ordered 2 x Toshiba Canvio 2TB External SSD from Lazada - 3 year guarantee, original and same price as UK. Delivered in a week and no hassle
