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
DX is a great website to buy electronics especially accessories.
In this instance I purchased a small speaker for my iPhone. It was a very cheap price but the quality of the item was good. The best thing is DX will ship anywhere for free including Australia. The shipping however is very slow and in this case it took 6 weeks which is fairly typical for DX. The DX reviews on this product were accurate and helpful. There is also a live chat in multiple languages which makes asking question or sorting problems fast and easy. DX was great for this purchase.
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.
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.
Shipping times seem slower than others. Average prices
I ordered a Google Cardboard just to see what all this virtual reality business was all about
For under $10 shipped, not a huge investment to try it out.
The order was a little slow to be marked as shipped (2 weeks), with the item did arriving a month and 2 days later. So overall, approximately 7 weeks from date of purchase to having the item in hand.
More towards the slow end of delivery times, but still within my 2 month allowance.
As for the Google glasses. quite an interesting concept and can be fun to play with for a while. but there are more apps that need to be developed to support it before it really takes off.
As my first purchase from Deal Extreme, i'm not unhappy with the experience, but not blown away. I would consider purchasing from them again, but would prioritize other online stores first
