DealExtreme: Cheap junk
March 19th, 2009
DealExtreme is a webstore that provides insanely cheap junk from China. With free shipping!
In general, DX is a nice shop – I’ve made 5 orders so far, and received 3. The two I haven’t have been shipped in the past week (at the time of writing).
The items I’ve ordered have worked, and some were actually of surprising quality (especially when compared to the prices). These headphones worth 3 and a half dollars were pretty poor though.
Other stuff I’ve wasted money on bought: DS flash cart, laser pointer that feels much more expensive than it is, wall plug for USB chargers…
DX sometimes seems to take a very long time to get your stuff from their “supplier”, though – but I still highly recommend them. Reading product reviews can be very useful.
By the way, this post is full of referral links!
