Awesome website for electronics and gadgets and very cheap. It has free shipping for any order. Over 60000 gadgets. Its based in hong Kong.

I've used this website for probably about 8 years and highly recommend it. Has many user reviews on most products. Anyone else buy stuff from here?

So you wouldn't lump this with other discount sites that have been in the news lately?

no not even close. This is just a grey import style store. Don't use it for anything where you want a warranty.

I've bought about 7 iPhone 3G earbud 'replacement' (i.e. fakes) from them for about $2 AUD each. The build quality is variable, some fell apart after a few weeks, some have lasted much longer. The sound quality is actually pretty good, I feel it's much better than the default Apple ones. I usually wear any pair of headphones out anyway so in the long run I save money by using these rather than paying for a $39 Apple one or a ~$100 sennheiser

I've also bought a portable iPhone charger for about $8AUD, it's worked well for the 2 years I've had but it's also starting to fall apart physically - the glue holding the 2 sections together has worn off.

Yeah, its mainly cheap stuff anyway. I've bought tons of stuff from there, electronic gadgets, RC spares like servos, motors and lipo batterys, SD cards. Only once I had a dud, a lipo battery that was dead, but they sent me a replacement for free.

Some of the stuff is still quite good quality just read the user reviews under the items to see if its any good.

Great website, have picked out a few odds and ends from there.... much better paying their prices, as opposed to going to Dick Smith or some other xyz store and being ripped off.

Dick smith is shit these days anyway. More dvds than elecs.
