Does anybody with recent experience ordering from StoneTaskin.com know if the prices on their website include U.S. tariffs for the R1811 v4 boards? I have tried chat messages with them over the last 4 days and they do not respond. The R1811 v4 listings I have seen on eBay have a message saying that tariffs are included in the price. I just don't want to order from the StoneTaskin website and then get hit with a $100 tariff charge.
 
@VegetarianNachos i would avoid buying from StoneTaskin.com directly - any issue you will not get a refund. i have purchased a board from them, it arrived not working. getting a response from the seller is very difficult, eventually gave up and did open a paypal case. seller agreed to refund providing a return and then provided an invalid address so i cant return the item which means i will not lose just the cost of shipping it back, but pretty much lose the whole order value.

The other board that comes with firmware for the 2015 iMac 21" is the R9513 V5, which doesn't have a USB-C input.
Report of using this board have also been mixed...

Thank you Paul, i may give it a try tho i am still peeved by the fact that i cant return the non working board to StoneTaskin. next time i buy from China i will use aliexpress, at least there is some hope to recover part of the money.
 
@limojoe
Just out of interest, when you ordered your R9516 from StoneTaskin did they email you with any information about your board being tested before despatch?
They say they test their goods.
Was the return address one of the ones they list?

I've bought two R1811s from them, and they sent individualised videos of the boards I bought actually running a display before they were sent.
I suppose the difference is that the R1811 is $325 each, whereas it's @98 for a R9516... 🥺

there has been no information about board being tested. they asked me to provide videos with how it is connected, to confirm the panel model and that is working. but i got nothing from them showing that board working.
the return address provided is "广东Shenzhen.LonghuaxinquMinlekejiyuanYuanmengkejidasha"
 
@limojoe
Not a very straightforward address... ☹️
But more or less the same as the above.

广东 is Guangdong Province
Longhua District is a district in Shenzhen
Xinqu refers to a New Area or District within the city's administration, such as Longhua New Area.
Kejiyuan" (科技园) in Shenzhen refers to the Shenzhen High-Tech Industrial Park
Yuanmeng (圆梦) means "the realization of a dream"
Kejidasha (科技大厦), meaning "Science and Technology Building"

Edited to correct.

i asked gemini if it is a valid address (in the context of the paypal return) and the response (short version):

Do not try to ship the item using this address. Since the address is likely invalid or incomplete for international courier standards, attempting to ship it will likely result in the package being lost, undeliverable, or returned to you. If the item gets lost, PayPal may deny your refund because you won't be able to provide the required Proof of Delivery.
 
From Google:

The address with the postal code:

Dream Technology Building
Minle Industrial Park
Bao'an District
Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province
China 518131
 
thank you. i will see what is next with paypal... sort of lost of hope of ever getting anything working or money back on this venue.
