So buy in major Chinese stores


Introductory

Chinese webshops are growing like mushrooms, and a lot of companies are trying to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the market. However, there are great differences between a web store and webshop, for example, from the fact that many people are not aware of the difference between the marketplace and the actual webshop.

Let's start with this question. Marketplaces work so that we can get a lot of small or big dealers on a single surface. Such as Ebay or Aliexpress. These marketplaces have the great advantage of having a great selection, but this is also a disadvantage because it is much more difficult to choose the right product. You have to pay attention to how much you bought from the merchant and to what customer evaluations your merchant has received. If you buy unguarded, you can easily jump into bigger slots, then you can negotiate with the merchant, the marketplace operator or, if there is a chance to buy Pay Palos, with PayPal.

The classic webshop is completely different. These are supervised by a company, there are not many traders. The drawback is that this narrows the supply, the advantage is that in most cases it is easier to reach them in case of a problem. With regard to prices, there is a great deal of scattering, you have to be a classic webshop, you have to make the marketplace win. Overall, we recommend that if you are a beginner or more in classic department stores, if you are a skilled practitioner abroad, at least you speak English at a level that you can use, you can go to a marketplace.

In this article, we will deal with three webshops, present their surface, where to choose the way of delivery or where to enter the coupon code, so we can continue to afford the products that are still good enough.

I would like to tell you that I can not have a store I did not hear about, or even a serious complaint. This has never caused me to be warned of buying because, on the one hand, a fraction of the complaint is a fraction of the complaint-free purchases, the complaint sounds louder. On the other hand, we have to accept that the price of the cheap is that in the case of a complaint we will not find a physical shop where we can hack the table, or maybe ask for the buyers' book. We have to introduce other practices in the Chinese department stores, but I will write it at the end of this article.


GearBest

First, according to their own announcement, China is the second largest store after Aliexpress. This certainly gives some confidence, especially that Aliexpress, as you read above, is not a classic store.

The advantage of GearBest is its size. Because of this, there are lots of products, phones and more on this interface, so we can first buy it here. In addition, due to size, we are waiting for a lot of action, for bigger occasions such as birthday action or black Friday promotions offer bomb prices.

Another advantage is that GearBest has opened up many European warehouses in recent years. From these ordered products you can arrive very quickly to us if there is no interruption, even within 5-7 working days. In addition, we can be sure that there is no customs duty or VAT on the price displayed in the store, so we do not have to pay anything other than shipping and shipping.

Gearb is the product of technical gadgets, so the phones, tablets, 3D printers and their counterparts can be found in the largest selection. But lately there is more and more games and clothing, so we can say that whatever we are looking for is worth looking around. Which is not typical of parts and DIY packs. So here it is not worth looking for drone parts - there is, but not many - but it is worth looking at drons because there are good goods.

The web shop's surface is easily transparent. On the opening page, right above, find the things you need to buy. We can choose the language of the page, the currency in which we want to see the price of the products. There are already a number of stores in the country, which are examples of the language, but the Hungarian is not yet among them. True, the sparrows are chirping that it will soon be.

What I can suggest, if you are a bit, really just a bit good about angel, you should use it because the translation can be machine-made, sometimes interesting Hungarian texts. The other is that it is worth to look at the dollar price, because the webshop may be different from the forint amount shown on the switch, so it is difficult to compare the price of the products. So stay with the dollar and use it in every store. If you want to buy one day a day to see the exchange rates, you do not have to do it later, you will loosely switch from dollar to forint.

Registration will be a simple email address and password, and other data, such as shipping address, will be enough if you have actually bought something.

If you log in then a My Account you'll find everything you need to do with your store activity, that is, your favorite products (My Favorites), your orders (My Orders), Your Complaints (My Tickets), your My Invoice Wallet, your points purchased at your purchase, and your other purchases (My Points), your settings (My Profile), coupons that you can only use (My Coupon).

Let's see the shopping process!

If we have found the product we are interested in, the first thing to do is look at what stock can be ordered. The price may vary from stock to, or even usually, so you have to decide if you want to order from a possibly more expensive EU warehouse, from which it will be faster to ship or stay in a Far East warehouse with better price but longer delivery time .

The abbreviations for the warehouses are currently as follows (click on the name of the warehouse or country):

Store codeCountry
CN-099Cinchona
CN-006Spain
Fast-07Spain
Fast-08Poland
Fast-23Czech Republic
Fast-27England
CN-001England
Fast-29Spain
Fast-026Portugal
Fast-30France
Fast-36
Italy
HKHong-Kong
HK-2Hong-Kong

If you selected the warehouse, you can choose from two buttons. If we know that we do not want to buy anything else, then we can Buy Now, if you want to buy something else, that is Add to Cart. With the latter, we only put into the basket the merchandise, with the first one starting the payment process right away.

If the Buy Now button on the next page a Shipping Options: select the mode of delivery. For higher value products, it is EU Priority Line you have to get the product ordered from China without VAT and customs duty. When you buy from an EU warehouse, you do not have to deal with it, choose the cheapest or the fastest you like.

If you do, then the benefits can come. Below and on the left you can choose to use your GearBest points - Use GB Points- or you have a coupon code and it â Use Coupon. The two will not go together. If you use a coupon code, copy the coupon code into the Promotion Code box and press the Apply button. If the voucher is still alive - you know about the promotional stock, then the end-user price will drop. If you want to use points, then add that, it is maximized, so you can not buy anything for points alone.

When you are ready then you can Place Your Order button and start shopping! On the next page you can enter the payment method, here you can choose between Pay Pal, card payment or bank transfer, then click on Pay Now to complete the purchase.

You can find the store here: GearBest


Banggood

Banggood is one of the biggest rivals of GearBest, a tough battle between them in terms of prices, which is just fine for us. The range is slightly different from that of GearBest, although there are also the most popular technical articles. However, Banggood has a lot of spice-like things, much more for example a drone component, but with luck, we can find a piece of our phone for example if we've broken the display. So for parts, this store is much stronger.

In Banggood, they praise support, that is, customer service, allegedly better than GearBest. I have met here in some cases, so I do not share that belief. Keep in mind that, as with GearBest, the problems are solved here, but we have to take a little more step here, too.

Banggod also has warehouses in Europe, and compared to GearBest, we have the advantage of being able to search for products separately. EU Stock products can be found in a separate link here: Banggood EU stock products

Banggood's surface is very similar to the GearBest interface, so someone who is here to pick up is captured. This is why we can write a little bit shorter, but it is unnecessary twice to describe it. The only big difference is that there is one here Wish where you can pack your favorite, or later, buyable products.

The start of purchasing the product is the same as in GearBest, ie Buy Now button to launch the purchase process immediately Add to Cart button to add the product to shopping cart and continue shopping. If you choose the latter one, you can open the cart later at the Cart point on the top right. It is important that you only use one coupon for each purchase, so if you put more than one item in the cart at a time, you will only be able to get the discounted price for one.

The shopping process is the same, but the page looks a bit different. THE Buy Now button after the next page, the Enter Coupon Code box, you can see the coupon code below it Enter Your Points and the number of our points to be sold. Here too is true of what GearBest has about the points.

If it is, then a Proceed Check Out button to enter the page where the mode of delivery can be selected. For Banggood, if you buy from a non European warehouse, then a European Direct Mail will be ours, with which duty and VAT will come with the ordered product.

If the mode of delivery is selected, you can choose whether Pay Pal or a bank card will be the payment method, and then you can Place Order button to complete the purchase.

Geekbuying

Geekbuying is the smallest of the previous two houses, we can say striking. Perhaps this is why it is easy to treat complainant beds as normal, and more recently, some products, such as phones, look better than they are. They claim that they also have duty and FA free shipping â HKEU Priority Line - and there are also European warehouses. These are located at the top of the right-hand menu at this store Local Warehouse. There are also Spanish, German, Italian and Polish stores, from where, as with the previous two stores, the products arrive faster and guaranteed at no extra cost.

The interface at Geekbuying is somewhat different from the two stores in the past. Fortunately, there is no major difference, so we will not get lost. If in the upper right corner a My Account button, a menu will appear on the left to find information about our purchases and our store activity. Separate the amount of funds already paid (Payment Confirmed), the pre-payment (unpaid) and the shipped (Shipped) our orders. We can also open our basket from here (My Shopping Cart), we can handle our coupons (My Coupons) and wish list (My Wish List). At the bottom of the menu we find our own settings (Account Settings) and the specified shipping addresses (address Book).

When we start shopping on the selected product page just one Add to Cart button you can find, which is pushed into the basket of the selected product. Then a window will appear in which you can choose a View My Cart so we'll be able to start paying or choose a Continue Shopping button to continue browsing products.

We can not set anything on the first page of the basket, but we can check what products are in the basket. THE Proceed to Checkout button to enter the page where you can select the mode of delivery (HKEU Priority Line), or if there is a coupon code for that product, then it is Please Choose or enter your coupon code field, and if the voucher is live then that Apply button to decrease the price. Of course, we need to provide our data if we did not do it when registering, as it is not a problem for the web store to know where to order the ordered product.

General good advice!

First of all, with more expensive products, choose a shipping mode with a tracking number. It's good if we know where the ordered product is in the world. In the stores, you can find such a marker on the payment pages: Insurance. This is an extra insurance for lost packages. So if we pay a few dollars, we'll have less teasing, easier administration.


Payment

If you can, you can use PayPal to pay. This can be done in several ways. You can upload money to your PayPal account or register your bankcard, so we can pay with the Pay Pal at the malls with the money on our card, but you do not have to provide the card details in every store. Another strong argument with PayPal is that in the event of a claim, if the merchant fails to reach a price, for example, if he or she is unwilling to repay the purchase price in the case of a lost package, we may also submit the claim to Pay Pal if they find it justified to return our money, are counted on the webshop.

What to do if the package is lost, the product is damaged and the merchant does not want to return our money. First of all, let us take out our stronger self. Feel free to threaten the merchant first and foremost with PayPal, if you pay through it, this is usually quite the case, it would be a big loss for any department if PayPal would terminate their contract with so many complaints. Unfortunately, there was a case where it didn't help - it didn't happen to me, I was just helping to solve the problem - and the customer was forced to mention the police report in a letter to the store. That sounds scary, but everyone has heard of countless cases of domestic merchants, but we don't hesitate to go to the corner store to buy a pack of salami. In other words, the vast majority of purchases are made without problems, and we do not even hear about them. The fragment, we can say with complaints below 1 percent, is loud on the net.

The point. The trader will generally try to find the best solution to solve the problem as a single solution. Do not accept, stand on our heels!


Shipping

Among the modes of transport we find in all three stores that promise duty and VAT free arrival. This is irrelevant for cheaper products or when ordering from the EU warehouse, but if you are ordering over $ 38- $ 40 depending on the current dollar rate, you should choose this. It is important to know that in terms of customs and VAT, it will not be the price of the individual products that will be included, but the total value of the package, which includes transport costs and the cost of any insurance. If you want your package to arrive quickly, don't make it difficult for the merchant to ship! If you order more than one product, and especially if they are not from a single warehouse, you should order each product separately, so there is no time to bundle the products in your bundle in order to ship at the same time. On top of that, if you lose the package by mistake, you will not lose the whole package, only 1 item.

Customs and VAT free shipping:

Store Delivery mode name
 GearBest EU Express, Priority Line or EU Priority Line
 Banggood EU Priority Line
 Geekbuying HKEU Priority Line

Coupon codes

We get a lot of questions about coupon codes and deals. It is said that all the bargains on the torture are what they do not. This is a big truth, but it does not always cover reality.

Every store has coupon-free and coupon deals. The former are Flash Sale, the latter being marked as coupon code. Flash Sale promotions generally last longer, and the bargain is even bigger. Coupon code promotions often last only for a day or two, but if you continue, there is little chance of finding a discounted product because there are few pieces. Nevertheless, before buying your product, look for a coupon code for everything you want to buy.

We also offer several options for purchasing promotions and coupon codes. On the one hand, we have a newsletter, which you can sign up for and receive your coupon codes for the daily promotions of the above three stores by email. On the other hand, a list of promotions also appears on our site every day in the form of news, and on the third hand, our coupon search page is at your disposal.

For coupon code search, we recommend our coupon code search page: Chinese Coupons - The largest Hungarian coupon finder

So importantly, the products that can be purchased with a coupon code have a narrow stock, in many cases per region, so for example, a Central European region receives 30-50 promotional products, it runs out quickly. In other cases, the 1000-2000-piece promotional kit also occurs, which is why I wrote that it is worth looking around among the old codes, we may even be lucky. For example, at the end of last year, GearBest issued a coupon code for the Mavic Pro drone, which was still alive in February this year. Anyone who was foody and came across the code saved $ 200, which is no small amount of money.

If the promotional stock is exhausted, copy the coupon code and the Apply After pressing the button, the pages will be displayed, as well as if, for example, the coupon code found on the net cannot be used in our region. To be sure, the codes that appear in our news, newsletter or coupon code search page have been issued for our region.

So if you want coupon codes, sign up for our newsletter here: GearBest, Geekbuying, Banggood coupon code newsletter
