Cheap Chinese Online Shops
Money Saving
I have used in the past online shops, www.zapals.com and www.banggood.com (the last one is a normal site except for its name)
I was wondering if anyone could post other shop urls of this type as I am always looking for cheap stocking fillers throughout the year so don't mind the shipping time.
I buy plenty of small items from China but don't use specific shops, I just check on eBay for those selling what I want and usually buy from the one with the lowest price.
Never used zapals. I personally use aliexpress its my all time favourite. Have recently started using Vova which is also great.
I asked on here about Gearbest the other day but got no response. Any way I googled them and read a few reviews and they seem quite good.
Sorry I did not see your post as I have only really found the chat option on this site today.
I have bought items from gearbest. They were pretty cool watches. Worked well. Nice price too. Packaged well. Would buy from them again if I needed to.
GlitchHunter thanks. I think I’ll do a small order first but they do seem pretty good.
https://www.aliexpress.com has a large variety of items, and wish.com seems like it has good deals, but I’ve yet to use it myself, but I’ve heard good reviews from others
Personally I don't like wish their prices are too high and could get them cheaper through other sites. Also the reviews are not reliable, only the good reviews are displayed.
SalmaS I remember how happy I was when ali express started, as it was tough trawling through the Ali baba site to get small quantities of the things I wanted, so Ali express was the answer. However, the prices are slightly higher, perhaps due to the extra protection you get using the merchants from their site. Hence the additional charge for PayPal
Banggood is great however its really hard to find a product that is in stock. I can remember I placed an order with them, they said they were processing it and then two days later they emailed me saying that the product is out of stock
Perhaps I was just unlucky but I have been out of pocket on two occasions from Zapals. They ignore messages and emails and continue to spam the customer. My purchases were fairly close together, time wise, so there was still plenty of time for the first to come before I doubted that the second would never come. I really wouldn't touch them again.
