    Not sure if this is a bargain alert or not so Mods please feel free to move this but Has anyone tried this website before? fugaotc The prices seem to good to be true,(340 for 46 inch plasma etc etc) and generally that makes me suspicious from the off, but I thought the same about dealextreme with their free shipping until I bought things of them. Also the website doesnt look the may west, few spelling mistakes etc, but then I suppose they are in Beijing. I think I might wait for feedback here though before I order anything.

    And don't forget the usual tell tale - payment only by western union or international wire transfer.

    dealextreme is legit
    i have used them and lots and lots of others on this forum have used them.
    yes dealextreme has free shipping on all items.
    you might get caught for tax or duty on orders over about 30 or 40 euro, so try and keep under this amount with each order, then just order again if you need to

    I cannot say this often enough or loud enough,

    1. If it looks too good to be true then is probably is.

    2. If the only contact details are either hotmail, yahoo or gmail, it's a scam.

    3. If the only or preferred payment is Western Union, Moneygram or similar, it's a scam.

    Deal extreme are fine. They run a secure server and accept PayPal which is traceable and refundable if something goes wrong.

    Ok lads point taken, I wasnt going to buy anything, was just looking to see if anyone else had.

    @Melanie,
    I only bought small things off them, HDMI cables and a laptop drive enclosure but my flatmate bought the fake iphone thing and the 8Gb mp3 player. Delivery takes 2weeks, but like its free so you cant complain.Cheap as chips aswell
