Play-Asia.Com - Video games, electronics, and other goodies!

Things to Keep in Mind

  • 1When ordering, use PayPal and common sense to ensure safety.
  • 2Before ordering anything expensive, try ordering something inexpensive to test the stores. See if you are satisfied with different factors like delivery time and product quality.
  • 3Delivery time is usually at least a week, but sometimes you have to wait more than a month. The delivery times depend on your location, stock status and the date you place your order (e.g. under Christmas the delivery times tend to be longer than usual).
  • 4Sometimes (from my own experiences I'd say very seldom) you have to pay taxes or duties, depending on your location and order. I have never had to pay any taxes or duties.
  • 5Avoid "genuine" products. Piracy is allowed in China so you really can't know what products are genuine and what aren't. Importing fake products is illegal in some countries, so at least make sure to check your country's laws and rules beforehand.
  • 6Also, avoid ordering lasers and other dubious products. The possible punishments depend where you live and what you have ordered.
  • 7Returning or changing products is difficult, if not impossible, due to shipping costs and some other factors.
  • 8Use your common sense and everything should go smoothly and fine. Enjoy shopping! :-)

    There are a lot of asian online stores, that sell electronics without a known brand name, but with good hardware.Most popular consumer electronics are nowadays phones and tablets
    You can find all kinds of electronics on Asian online shops, from low- to top of the range products. Usually the price is 40-60% cheaper.
    The famous brands manufacture their products in Asia, so the locals are learning the technology and are copying it pretty good. Just they can manufacture a lot cheaper with lower local salaries and without the cost of advertising and brand development.

    Our regular retail stores also sell alot of products, because they originate from a long chain of resellers. Every reseller adds alittle to the price to make profit and the retail store ads alot to pay for all the salaries and rent for keeping up the store. These products are usually cheaper electronic accessories like cables, usb products, electrical equipment etc. Buying these products directly from Asia can nerf the price up to 50%. Most of these Asian online stores are wholesalers also, so they only operate a warehouse and a webpage to ship certain products all over the world. This can keep the price down to the end consumer.

    You can check out http://www.cheap-asia.com
    That site has information, like reviews, ratings, user experiences and discussions, regarding asian websites for cheap products.

    China is getting stronger and stronger. Don't know much about their extreme deals but I know I will have to learn sooner or later. Your lens is good start for that.

    I've never ordered like this from China but I am intrigued. I am afraid of Chinese dog food - there was a scare a while ago, but I am sure the rest of the products could be very good. Thanks for the sites, now I have a resource.

    I was unaware of these sites thanks for sharing them.
