China shops with EU/US Warehouses
on: August 04, 2015, 08:37:14 AM
Hi guys,

I mean to post this in Mini review of online shops from China/Taiwan etc. but if this gets enough feedback from you, it might be useful in itself.

So... I like China stuff... I like the Syma and Cheerson drones, the Ganzo and Sanrenmu folders, the UltraFire and Nitecore flashlights... I like their Lithium batteries and all the crazy gimmicky kitchen utensils, glasses, clothes and decorations.

What I hate is the crazy wait times (up to 6 months until they get here), the trips to customs (I had to get 2 days off to pick up a package once and run to two post offices) and now the new customs regulations (not only do they open everything now, they started confiscating and I just had to pay 4 USD taxes for a 11 USD item)  :poh:

As such, please post here what China shops you guys know that have warehouses in Europe and US. These must be browsable as such, or at least mentioned when ordering.

Bangood:
Europe - http://eu.SPAMCORP.com/ - Warehouse is in the UK. Fast shipping, cheap or free. Good support. Unfortunately product selection is quite poor (some general batteries, small drones, flashlights and sunglasses and bags). I'd estimate 5%-ish of what the main site is offering. Prices are about 25-30% higher than in the mother website, so there goes the price advantage. Still you get faster shipping and no customs hassle.
US - http://us.SPAMCORP.com/ - Never used it.
Spamcorp:
US - You guys can Google them. They do have original Leatherman products at good prices, but pure China stuff is quite more expensive than the competitors. I'm not a good example, as I am in EU, but my package took over 6 months to get here and I paid a ton of money for customs (poor invoicing). Pretty poor quality products.

Hm... thanks for that Crow.
I visited that site many times and never saw the EU/US/AU links.
Here's where you can find it for other orientation-challenged people.
They seem to have drone, phone and flashlight stuff, but no knives...



le edit: LOOTS of nice Outdoorsy stuff there, though... might cost me some pennies finding this  :facepalm:
