subject: Get High Quality Products Inexpensively [print this page] Next time you want electronics, clothes or almost anything, you should consider checking some Chinese web sites. By ordering from China you can get high quality products but still save lots of money. You can also make some money by drop shipping and affiliate programs
Before Ordering
Before you order anything from the sites you should know some things.
* Use PayPal to pay your orders to ensure safety.
* Before you order anything expensive, try ordering something less expensive to test the sites. See if you are satisfied with the delivery times, product quality and other things.
* Most of the listed sites offer free shipping worldwide. The sites that don't offer are marked with a star (*).
* Sometimes (very seldom) you have to pay taxes or duties.
* If some products are "genuine", you shouldn't believe it. Piracy is allowed in China so you really can't know what products are genuine and what aren't.
* The Customs probably don't like if you order lasers, bootlegs or other dubious products.
* Returning or changing products is difficult, if not impossible, due to shipping costs.
* Use your common sense and everything should go smoothly and fine!

LT doesn't look very professional site and their English is quite broken, but I can say that LT is very good site. LT has a big variety of products. Delivery times are fast and the customer service is very good. There's no many user reviews but there's some videos made by LT . Every order I have done have gone well and I don't think I have anything to complain about. :-)
By contacting LT's customer service you can probably order items listed at POPBuying. At POPBuying you can find some products that can't be listed at LT.
Taobao *
"Taobao is the main place to buy stuff online in China. It's like eBay, with many independent stores listing their products and shipping directly to you. -- Unless you need green tea or a DVD, you might be out of luck trying to find it in a store. So just Taobao it!" (The quotation is from that site) In short: You can find almost anything from Taobao for really low prices!
There are many Taobao Agents out there, but I have ordered items from Taobao only through ZarMark. I have compared ZM to other Agents, and looks like ZarMark is one of the cheapest Agents. (If you know someone cheaper/better please tell us!) I have made several Taobao orders and almost every one of them has gone really well.
Taobao is in Chinese, so at first you might have problems with ordering, but after some orders you are not happy with you'll probably get better. ;-) Check out Taobao Field Guide to get started!
You can save a lot of money if you order from Taobao. Let's take an example. Take a look at these jeans at DinoDirect. The price is quite high, isn't it? Now, take a look at the same jeans at Taobao. If the jeans weigh 1000g, the price is about 55$ (at most!) when ordering through ZarMark. That's about 65$ cheaper (or even more!) comparing to DD. =)
