E-shopping from China?

Question

Hi all,

Does anybody have any experience when buying from chinese e-shops? The prices in China are amazing, however, I would like to know if it is not risky and if I will get exactly what I ordered. If anybody has an experience please let me know I would appreciate any advice. Thanks to all.

Answer 1

It depends on which e-shop you are talking about. Even you are shopping online in US, it is also more reliable if you shop in large and well known company or e-shops. In China, it is the same way.

(Some Chinese e-shop are run by US companies as Staples or Wal-Mart.  Anyway, there are many well-known Chinese eshops that are not so well-known in US. Those are reliable.)



But... if you live in US, and goes to an Chinese eshop, and wants to buy something and have them to ship to US. You will better to call them to ask if they will do this first. Plus the shipping and tax. It is unlikely to be much cheaper after those. If not, all US eshop will be closed by now.

(I only bought things I could use online as Online game subscription and ebooks, or travel package, hotel and flight in China. )
