I got mine from the US, even with the postage it was better value than the ones I saw in the department stores, although I never shopped around local / independent stores as I was worried about needing to return faulty goods.
I did need to buy a voltage converter but it was only $50 hkd and quite small so that wasn't a problem.
If you want an industrial sewing machine, you will probably find a great deal here but if you want a more domestic one then they are more expensive here from what I've seen and limiting in choice of models. I assumed the reason for this is because not many people sew in Hong Kong domestically ?
BUT when you buy from the US, you will also have problems with finding stores that will actually ship to you ! So many American companies can't be arsed to deal with international shipping.
