Where to buy?

A great shop for ordering these Baofeng portable radios is 409Shop.
 

They have their own service and every radio is shipped out with a quality label that one can find in the battery compartiment.
 

This label makes it clear that the radio is bought at 409Shop and not somewhere else. I received some presents for doing business with them and the first present was a blue pen, the second was a yellow one. Last present was a red balloon. Nice, thank you 409Shop!
 

Ordering

Ordering at 409Shop can be done in 4 different ways.
1 - At the 409 internet shop as a registered user
2 - At the 409 internet shop as a none-registered user (like I do)
3 - At the 409 shop on eBay
4 - Buying a separate article on eBay
 

Shipping

All articles are shipped complete and in the original box, wrapped in plastic bubble sheet and paper, tied together with a white rope.
I've found out that, with the last order I placed at 409 Shop, the battery was removed and sent separately to the customer (to me) in an envelope.
In my case I received the battery first with no explanation. Don't panic now (like I did..), just wait..
Then the radio came in with the battery removed, because it was sent earlier.
So when I joined the two, I got my complete radio.
