    Hi was wondering if anyone has heard of the site lightinthebox.com .

    It is something like littlewoods .

    Sells everything, I was looking at it mainly for tablets/mobile phones .It is a chinese wedsite .Some of the tablets are very cheap around € 100 with android 4.0 etc .The reviews are pretty good as are the reviews for the mobiles .

    So if you have bought anything form it ie tablets or mobiles could you let me know what you think before I take the plunge .Thanks

    other similar sites - check for coupons in case you can get an extra few % off.
    www.dx.com
    www.buyincoins.com <--- all the reviews are 5/5 for everything :p (in Russian)

    they are great for stocking fillers
    don't spend money you can't afford to loose


    very little on them is genuine
    - ignore any brand names it's probably as counterfeit as the CE safety markings
    set your expectations very,very low - check out the Bargain Alerts forum for threads on tablets https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=346


    Friend of a friend had a mobile phone from those sites that caught fire :pac:

    Just to be clear. If you want pound shop crap delivered to your door from half way around the world for less than pound shop prices these sites are perfect. Buy you have to realise you are probably not even getting pound shop quality.


    also anything over €18 or €22 (including postage) is likely to get hit with VAT / duty and handling charge especially as we get closer to Christmas
