... and from which online stores we to buy on affordable prices.
I start with stores that offer free shipping and payment with PayPal. Ranking is based on my personal experience with these online merchants.
1. GearBest
GearBest is definitely China store #1 this year. For a short time, thousands of customers have earned it, and have become a preferred store for Chinese smartphones, tablets, TV box and other smart electronics. The acquisition of market share is accompanied by endless promotions of different types of goods and discount codes for items not participating in these promotions.
2. BangGood
Another favorite Chinese online store for everything. In addition to standard phones, tablets and hit electronic gadgets, you can find powerful tool sections, more specialized devices, fishing tools, 3D printers. They also have a very well selected fashion section with clothes and accessories that I strongly recommend to look at. The clothes, jewelry, and other fashion items they offer are often of better quality than the Chinese clothing you encountered.
3. TinyDeal
TinyDeal is always in the shops where I first check if I'm looking for a good price for Chinese goods. Another online shopping mall, where you can find almost everything. From household goods, through electronics, toys, consumer electronics to adult toys (18+). Delivery is free of charge, registration is easy again, and payment is made with all popular methods. Like GearBest and BangGood, they also have a stock in Europe. This way, with a few dollars on top, your purchase can arrive much faster and without having to pay extra VAT or duty.
4. DealExtreme (DX.com)
DeilXtreme remains a classic. This is the first Chinese online store to become popular in the world and still remains a preferred shopping spot. Over the years, they have been renamed to the shorter and easy-to-remember dx.com. Again an all-in-store shop. Again, the hit item is smartphones and small electronics, again a free delivery.
5. BuyInCoins.com
Over time, this online store was primarily focused on selling household goods. Not that they do not have other products, but this online shop is a starting point when looking for household goods. These are utensils that are useful in the kitchen, home decoration items, useful things for the wardrobe, bedroom, office, bathroom and garden. Their prices are often much lower than in other stores. Exactly the great variety of this kind of goods will make every housekeeper or housekeeper spend at least half an hour in sight, and your shopping cart will be filled with a bunch of things you did not even think you could throw money on.
Bonus to the rankings
These two online markets leave them as a bonus because they are quite different as a concept - they are platforms that bring together different Chinese sellers and each has a separate store there.
AliExpress
AliExpress (or shortly, Ali, as he is called to addicted to online shopping for cheap goods) is the largest and most popular platform for wholesale and retail of China. Since hundreds of thousands of traders are gathered here, the chance to find milk from chicken is enormous. Clothes, phones, household goods, electronics, baby goods ... Do not work with PayPal. But I see that they have begun to offer it again as a payment method for certain countries. If you are shopping from Europe, the most appropriate option is to pay by debit / credit card.
DHGate
DHGate is a rival to AliExpress. The scheme is the same - the platform shelters a bunch of traders. They have client protection similar to AliExpress and are not back with PayPal. Here you can shop for one and for retail. Obviously, their policy is a bit freer to the merchandise offered by merchants, because here can be found many replicas of popular brands. Naturally, this is not visible at first glance, but most traders even offer to show you real pictures of the goods.
Just like with AliExpress, and here you have to watch out for the merchants' rating and carefully select them.
