I wouldn't worry about the "condition" I would worry about "when" the item may even show up... The "condition" will be it is either fine or burnt to a crisp and you get nothing.

I got lucky - Had a large order from XinRay make it though just before apparently - Couple NVR's and a dozen cameras.

Bought everything Monday Night/Tuesday morning. Seller said shipment went out last Wednesday, but DHL status was not updating - which is odd for them. Then today I got notifications that it Arrived Hong Kong sort facility, processed at Hong Kong, Departed Hong Kong, Arrived Cincinnati, OH, Entered Customs Cincinnati Hub, Customs Status Updated all this morning. With delivery scheduled for tomorrow.

This seller crazy???? I never hear about this, Our shipment these days little delay(Those i updated the tracking for you), because we have to declare all dahua cams to the customs. Or else unit camera cost will increase 17%. This is the tax issue here.
For those shipment no need to declare to the customs all still in rocket speed.
HDW5231R-Z this one all booking need around 40days. So if you buy this model he talked about fire, should be excuses.

Like Mr.Trump said fake news~ lol

A couple weeks ago UPS had a fire in florida that caused delays all over the US even shipments that didn't go through florida at all.
