    Looks like there's a bit of a tablet clearance sale going on
    here.

    Haven't used them before, so can't comment on them but the free worldwide shipping seems like a bonus.

    Anyone have any dealings with them?

    It has a link to dinodirect website with more product info etc. Anyone think this a good deal? Dont know a whole lot about tablets to be honest and looking for some opinions.

    Maybe the boys over in Laptops might be able to advise?

    There was a thread on here a few days ago about a special offer on one of their tablets.

    Bear in mind that if they're shipping from outside the EU you could be hit for VAT on the full value of the item.

    Thanks for that lads, think I'll err on the side of caution with that one so.

    There ARE some good Chinese tablets available, but there ARE an awful LOT of bad ones available also. In general you get what you pay for, but there are some very good ones (IMO) which are well worth the money.

    Mind posting few links as there would be a lot of people (myself included) looking for a cheap, but decent enough tablet?

    According to Web of Trust (WOT):

    That Wholesaleforum site seems dodgy: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/www.wholesaleforum.com

    The Dinodirect site has a good reputation: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/dinodirect.com

    I ordered my bridesmaid dresses, jewellery and other clothes from Dino Direct and had positive experiences each time. Excellent quality, free shipping and no issues. There is a risk you can get charged VAT if customs decide but it didn;t happen to me.

    I have since seen the dodgy comments on websites slating Dino direct but I have to say, I had only a positive experience. I am now online getting a birthday present for my husband from them.

    Have not used them to buy electronics but I hope my comment helps you.

    Same as Liberty_Bell above, bought some clothes from Dinodirect and no problems at all. Arrived in about 2 weeks. I'd usually buy small size here, but ordered large to compensate for the size difference and they were tiny! Ended up giving stuff to OH's little sister. My own fault for being lazy and not checking the measurements though :o
