Should we buy Chinese?
Nowadays, we come across this issue halfway, even though the issue is meaningless in this form, since, anyway, a large and growing proportion of the products we buy are Chinese. If we want to ask the question correctly, it reads: Buy from China?
10-15 years ago, it was still quite rare for someone to buy online, and for someone to order goods from abroad was a real curiosity. At that time, the best terrain for this was E-bay, where products that we could not find on the shelves of domestic stores could be obtained. For example, I received a complete set of shapes for my car from the USA. It was expensive anyway, he put me in the car with a lot of work and patience, I was very happy because I had no other option to get it.
Nowadays, the situation has changed a lot. More and more people are getting access to foreign, mostly Chinese, online stores. My own experience is that you can click on shopping terribly and wait for the courier is like waiting for Christmas. You can fall for the GLS or postman any day and bring something subtle! It helps to click that we can often get trivia at a really ridiculous price. For example, I was the last to order a tempered glass front and back cover for my phone, which cost 500 forints. That's why we don't get much air at home.
So the point is, while it doesn’t do the domestic economy too much, there are more and more of us ordering from China. True, we don’t get the selected product right away, we often have to wait up to a month, but in return for the slowness, we can come across amazing prices.
This article was created to introduce me to one of my favorite stores, GearBest-et. Not only will I introduce you, but I will also be applying with some product recommendations in the near future, after a GearBestand I get it, then I'll hit the more serious tests as well. Luckily, I already have some practice in this after many hundreds of articles written, so I’m looking forward to what comes out of the collaboration. Since HOC now only works as a kind of hobby site, you need to know that there’s not much chance for the old champagne anymore, but I’m confident it will still be the way to explore the beautiful new world of gadgets with me! Let's hit the middle, throw the reins between the horses, wow!
A GearBest, what a surprise, a http://www.gearbest.com available at. If someone has been to an online store, they will easily adjust here as well. Unfortunately, the store does not have its own Hungarian interface, but a Hungarian translation is still available with the help of Google. Fortunately, Google's automatic translator provides better and better service, so anyone who doesn't speak English, for example, will do well.
If the GearBest If you click on the menu item about yourself, you will get a lot of basic information. For example, for them, the buyer is the king, and they are satisfied when we are. Okay, I know these are pretty pointless things, and the word flies away, etc., but since I’m a customer myself, I can say that what they describe is really true. Many people are afraid of a foreign (mostly Chinese) online store because what if they lose the package, if the product we ordered is bad or broken. China is far away, we will have a hard time claiming damages. Well, luckily that's not the case. Think about it, these are companies of a size with a turnover that simply has no option to trick us with a few dollars. The resulting long-term loss is far greater than what we gain with a few dollars. For this reason, I can say that I have not lost my money in any of the product lists ordered from the Chinese side of the net, which now run to hundreds. Yes, there were times when it didn’t arrive, it was like it broke for what I got here, but it’s like I didn’t get my money back or get another product instead of the faulty one that hasn’t happened yet!
True this theorem is GearBestwhere they place great emphasis on their customers being satisfied to “leave the checkout” and come back to buy as quickly as possible. This is served by a 45 day money back guarantee and a one year product warranty. We should not be disappointed if we do not want to pay directly with a card, as we can also use the Pay-Pal system in this store, which is not only safe because we do not have to enter our card details in the store, but also because if we are harmed, then we can also initiate compensation through Pay-Pal.
Many people ask me, colleagues, acquaintances, that it is okay, they will try it, but what about customs and VAT? Well, the question is legitimate, because if we order a higher value product from outside the EU, it may be that it gets stuck at customs, and although we didn't go wrong paying the extra soap, our taste is a bit bitter.
Well, the above reason is one of the reasons why I really like the GearBestbecause they have a European warehouse. Unfortunately, the number of products here is not even close to the Chinese warehouse, but I have managed to order from here on several occasions, which on the one hand drove the horror of paying customs and VAT, and on the other hand reduced the delivery time to seven working days.
Okay, but what happens if we still order from a warehouse in China or another non-EU. The easiest life is when the price of the ordered product, including delivery, I emphasize, does not exceed 22 euros including delivery. In this case, we do not have to pay customs duties or VAT. If the combined price of the product and the cost of transport is more than 22 euros, but not more than 150 euros, we have to pay VAT, which is unfortunately the highest in the EU, 27 percent. If the price of the product and the delivery is more than 150 euros, we also have to pay a duty, which is currently a maximum of 12 percent, depending on the tariff classification of the product. In addition, we have to reckon with the cost of customs clearance, which is HUF 1500 at the Post Office, while DHL charges us 2,5 percent of the imposed public charge, but at least HUF 5990.
Another positive comes to mind about transportation. Before GearBestof course I ordered from other places as well, but here, with them, I noticed in my order that a picture was attached to the order. There was a package in the picture that I thought he wanted to show that something like that would also come to me. Then, enlarging the picture, I noticed that my name was on the package. Sure, these curses weren’t overwhelmed while considering taking a picture of my package, and attaching the picture to your order to take it, look, this is going to arrive with us in a week!
This article is over here and now. I hope you will encourage some of you to register and buy later. If you have any questions, ask me if I can answer, and even take the opportunity, perhaps, to try to interpret any problems you may have with customer service. The first time you visit the site, you may want to visit the following link: http://www.gearbest.com/about/about-us.html
It’s time to get into this new adventure together! Tomorrow, the first product recommendation will arrive, which will be followed by new ones with more or less regularity. If you diligently click on the links in the articles, we will be able to enjoy each other’s company again in the long run. I squeeze it so!
