Awesome store for 'cool gadgets at the right price'!
I have been using dealextreme for a couple of years now and they consistently have the lowest prices on popular items such as USB cables, phone accessories and many others. Their head office is based in Hong Kong so all their shipments originate from there and can take a while, but they generally offer free shipping with most of their items. Highly recommended if you are looking for a bargain!
Deal Extreme is quite cheap and good for purchasing small novelty items and basic usbs, cables etc. The quality of the torches and usbs i purchased was reasonable for the price i paid, also taking into account the free shipping. The shipping took a while though because it was from Hong Kong. Generally, i am very pleased with Deal Extreme.
They sell cheap gadgets and small novelty items as well as replicas of popular products. Prices are cheap with free shipping generally, but some items can be found cheaper on eBay. Shipping and handling is quite slow. As long as you don't expect much item you should be satisfied, but you get what you pay for and items generally feel cheap.
We make it a point to visit DX whenever we are in need of any electronics before we shop else where. Free shipping and the lowest price. You canno beat Dx on price. Bought USB Bluetooth dongle and Car FM Streo Transmitter recently at the lowest price. Shipping is was prompt eventhough it took considerably longer considering domestic online sites due to the fact that items are shipped from HK
Low prices on gadgets, just low priority on service
I bought a Lenovo N5901 2.4GHz Portable Handheld Wireless Keyboard with Trackball Mouse from them, as they offered the lowest price for this item compared to other stores I had looked at. The item took approximately 3 weeks before it arrived, which is reasonable considering it was sent from Hong Kong.
As they deal with wholesale suppliers, Deal Extreme are pretty much a drop shipping service, and therefore stock may be delayed on not always guaranteed. Also don't expect much service or response from them during seasonal holidays.
They offer a large array of gadgets, often hard to find items on offer. Prices used to be generally cheaper than those found on eBay, but I no longer find this to be the case. Since they deal with more than one supplier, even if an item seems out of stock, make sure to check out their whole range as they might have the exact same item under a different SKU.
I've bought several items from Deal Extreme over the years, never had any issues with missing items and they always arrive within the estimated shipping time which is up to 3 weeks. My latest purchase from them was a Torx T2 screwdriver for PSP that I needed to disassemble a tablet to unbrick it. It arrived within 7-10 business days and in good condition.
