Good website for cheap tablets?

jaqian

Anyone recommend a good site for cheap android tablets for xmas presents for the kids? Was looking at PriceAngel is it a safe site? I presume its Chinese if ordering outside the EU will I get hit by VAT or maybe confiscated by Customs etc

If you want a decent chinese tablet there are plenty for sale on Alibaba.com and Aliexpress.com.

Something to keep in mind if buying from a Chinese manufacturer is that Google Play Store will be restricted to what is sold in China (e.g. no Twitter or Facebook). If buying a 'main stream' Chinese tablet (eg PiPo, Yuandao, Cube) there will be some dev support providing details on how to root your tab and flash a custom rom. Essentially allowing you to access all the content on google play and will probably speed up your tablet experience.
Buying a relatively unknown brand will mean little/no support so you could be stuck with what you get out of the box.

This is a very good point, probably best to find a 'good tablet' first then worry about where to buy it from.

Yeah, First thing i did, i was just looking through the thing again, it wont recognise an SD card, it wont connect to my computer etc. I think its just a load of rubbish now as it wont even let me store an ebook on it.

Have you bought a tablet from this site? i would be interested in hearing how you got on.
At this stage i think i will buy the tablet that xtra vision have on sale for 99, its looks grand, sorry i didnt in the first place now.

Is the charge back where they refund your money direct to the card, if so then i would imagine so as that is hoe they take money, it was only 60 any how.

the tablet in xtra vision is the go pad one, the main reason i am looking at it is at least i will have a contact point if it goes wrong, with the chinese company they usually take 24 hours to respond to anything to draw out your refund rights

These tablets can generally resurrected no matter how badly things go wring with a quick firmware update. Do you know what tab it is?

That might be difficult to do when no Wi-Fi; no SD; and won't connect to computer
