    I bought once off these guys. No problems. Paid extra for quicker delivery. Check out bargains alerts for a thread about these guys.

    Yep, I had the same issue as you. Sent two small orders to them for watches and a phone charger. Got them in about 2 wks. They send from Hong Kong. Marked the green customs "gifts". No bother there. Traded with them in Sept. Note they trade in the unalmighty dollar, which is particularly good news at present. And, yes, the stuff is still working !!!

    They are great, very cheap but go for the better shipping as it takes ages otherwise.

    www.sourcinggate.com is a good place for phones, mp3 players etc

    Really? The site looks really dodgy and I don't recognise any of the brands.

    Well they're knock offs like. But fantastic quality, just bought the icool c92 dual sim phone. Great piece of equiptment.

    But you'll have to pay VAT as they're not marked as gifts like dealextreme.

    I've bought from dealextreme.com twice (Micro SD card readers) and have had a great experience both times.

    Unfortunately I lost and drove over my purchases pretty quickly so I can't comment on long term reliability. The beauty was they were so cheap it doesn't bother me that I lost them!

    FWIW I got two weird emails from them this morning saying that they had received my paypal funds but did not know what item I had ordered. They asked me to send on an order number. The email came from a @gmail.com account and was in bad broken english. :confused:
    I sent the mail on to dealextreme support and asked them if it was a scam. No reply yet

    EDIT: Reply received "This is a confirmed PayPal bug. It happens when your first attempt to checkout was declined by your bank, and your second attempt went through. When this happens, the shopping cart becomes missing on PayPal's side, and thus the receipts don't have anything listed on them." Seems to be legit.

    Have ben buying stuff from dealextrene for years. Used to pay by CC then switched to paypal when they supported it.
    Generally only takes a little over a week for the free postage option. Great value site.
