Definitely don't buy from this "ALULUA Store" tho, the guy is scummy AF. He is likely to send you a brick and pull the old, "send it back" scam.

Sorry to read about your experience.
FWIW, I have one on its way. At least that's what I want to believe...
I placed the order exactly a week ago and the current shipping state is "arrived at departure transport hub".
I bought it from seller "East Tester Factory Store" thinking that it's the "official" ET seller. How little did I know...
Having said that, they seem to have 100% positive feedback (if it's true), so fingers crossed...

Thanks for the kind words.
I suspect you'll be fine, this is the first time this has actually happened to me on AliExpress.
I wanted to buy from that store also but their shipping to my location matched the cost of the meter.
I've been exploring alternatives, trying to figure out which LCR meter to buy.
The options are so limited :-//

Interesting. I got free shipping and the total I paid was a bit less than 300 euro. That's excluding the custom taxes, once it hopefully arrives.
Not too many options in this price range indeed. At least not in EU. Nobody seem to stock those ET, Victor, you_name_it LCRs

Btw. if possible and you are up for it, please post some pictures of the meter, internally I mean.
I literally cannot find anything online.

If you don't necessarily need the stepless test frequencies, you can also use the cheaper ET4410.
This model is "safe" to get, I already have the second one here, the first time I bought it at banggood, the second time on ebay.
For the money, there are no alternatives to the ET44/4510.
The next one, which would be much more valuable and "correct", would be a model from Tonghui/Sourcetronic.

Yeah I had a look at that but then I feel like the DE-5000 is a significantly better deal (than ET44).
What are your thoughts on the Matrix MCR-5200?
I've also had a look on eBay and Hioki 3522/Hioki 3532 is also options, but quite a bit more money, still I suspect a much better meter.
I've got a seller that is offering the Hioki 3532 for $700 (made an offer type thing) which seems to be the best deal I'll be able to get (turns on and works, "unable to test completely")

The matrix-5200 quality-wise looks like a much better meter than the TE. I ws eyeing on it for a few months and I could get it from EU. However, it's much more expensive and it has less functionality than the TE (i.e no continuous frequency, voltage, no auto-select, etc..)
But it definitely does look of much better quality.
