Chinese internet is cheap. The main trading platforms in China are wholesale and retail for business (Alibaba, etc.). What can you buy on BangGood?
Only a small portion of novice online store owners immediately begin working directly with manufacturers. As a rule, the main option for purchasing goods for further sale is Chinese wholesale online stores. In this material, we will carefully analyze the leading Chinese sites, identify their features and draw a conclusion where it is better to make purchases.
Let's look at the most popular trading platforms in China that are worth paying attention to.
Chinavasion
About the resource
The main reason for the popularity of this resource is the opportunity that this Chinese site offered immediately when it appeared on the market in 2006. The company's office is based in Shenzhen; there are no representative offices in other countries. Chinavasion actively cooperates with popular sites Molotok, eBay, where it organizes sweepstakes and finds additional options for selling products.
Catalog
The catalog is quite modest when compared with competitors' offerings. Particular attention is paid to the following products:
- Cell phones;
- tablets;
- photo and video equipment;
- watch;
- accessories for equipment.
In total, according to the information on the website, you can buy here about 700 types of goods. Note that there is certainly everything basic here, but something unusual is missing that can make a businessman’s store stand out from the crowd.
Quality
Almost no complaints were found. Firstly, because Chinavasion checks all products before shipping, and does it really carefully. Secondly, the company is loyal to complaints and exchanges goods, even if they were damaged due to the fault of the buyer (although the delivery of a new product is made from the buyer’s funds).
Prices
Average market prices for equipment, but very low prices for any kind of accessories. Businessmen need to keep an eye on promotions because sometimes, without announcing the reasons, Chinavasion sharply “drops” the price of certain goods.
Delivery
About the resource
No list of Chinese stores can be considered complete without AliExpress. This largest trading platform, which features tens of thousands of sellers and hundreds of thousands of product items. A special Russian-language version has been created for Russians, as well as several applications for mobile devices in Russian.
Catalog
There is absolutely everything here, and there is no way to highlight any specific product item. Electronics, household appliances, accessories, clothing, shoes, sports equipment, automotive products, etc. Separately, it is worth highlighting various little things: souvenirs, key rings, interior decorations, “useful” things. This will be extremely interesting for businessmen who do not specialize in a particular product, but strive to please customers with a choice.
Quality
This is the most difficult parameter when working with AliExpress, because here a lot of manufacturers, which means that the risk of cooperation with unscrupulous partners is high. But on AliExpress there are several rules designed to protect the buyer as much as possible from fraud:
- money is not transferred to the seller’s account until the buyer notifies the resource that the parcel has been received and there are no complaints;
- AliExpress provides a full refund if the goods have not arrived for any reason not related to the buyer;
- the buyer has the right (within a certain period after receipt) to return the goods without explaining the reason, if the packaging is not damaged;
- if delivery is not carried out within the stated period, the buyer has the right to demand a refund;
- if the seller claims that the product is original, and the buyer can prove otherwise, then AliExpress will return the money for the purchase.
Prices
It is impossible to definitely estimate the cost of AliExpress goods (compared to competing sites), because... There are too many positions here, and some are cheaper, others are more expensive. AliExpress organizes auctions for some products. Note the variability of the purchase volume: you can buy one copy of the product or a whole lot. And it is clear that wholesale will be more profitable than retail. You can pay for your order and delivery in dozens of ways: almost any bank cards and almost all “electronic” money. It is possible to pay the seller through a guarantor.
Delivery
Lots of options, starting from domestic delivery service AliExpress Standard Shipping(it is important to understand that this is not a carrier company, but a logistics department cooperating with carrier partners), and ending with popular companies in China, Europe and Russia. The only thing is that not all options are available for every product, so we can only talk about delivery methods in a specific case. Prices depend on the method of transportation, timing and order volume expressed in weight. Some items have free shipping, but it always takes longer than paid shipping.
Alibaba
About the resource
This Chinese resource is as popular as AliExpress, and it is impossible to answer who is better and who is worse. And this is not surprising, because... both sites belong to one group of companies. But if AliExpress is good for retail and small wholesale, then Alibaba is more focuses on large wholesale.
Catalog
Main product areas on Alibaba:
- cars and motorcycles;
- electronics;
- sporting goods;
- goods for automobiles;
- equipment;
- cloth;
- glasses, jewelry, watches;
- goods for home and garden.
Quality
Here, as well as on AliExpress, there is protecting customers from low-quality products. The conditions are standard: the product and money can be returned if the quality does not meet the stated level, there was damage during transportation, the product turned out to be a fake, or the delivery time was missed. Let us note the “Reliable Suppliers” section, in which, as the resource claims, manufacturers have been selected whose products have almost never had any complaints.
Prices
The cost of goods on Alibaba is extremely low compared to competitors, and there is nothing to add to this. You have to try hard to find cheaper Chinese products. True, the price “falls” due to wholesale. Payment for the order can be made through a guarantor.
Delivery
Several delivery options: your own logistics department (AliExpress Standard Shipping), local Chinese delivery services, popular organizations in Europe and Russia. Certain items can be delivered free of charge, and sometimes the seller pays for delivery if the order amount exceeds a certain limit.
Conclusion
Having considered three main trading platforms, we can conclude that it is safe to buy, and in the vast majority of cases the buyer is protected from unpleasant situations. To find the best deal, you need to monitor all sites, and not focus on one. But you need to understand that some focus on retail, while others focus on wholesale.
Among the wholesale stores with free shipping, it is worth highlighting AliExpress and Alibaba, which have their own logistics department, AliExpress Standard Shipping. But free shipping only applies to certain items or for a certain order amount.
I bring to your attention a list of the best online stores in China, where you can order goods with free (or simply profitable) delivery to Russia or Ukraine, as well as my personal experience and review of orders from Chinese sites.
So, let's start with the most popular and cheapest store with free shipping from China!
AliExpress
free shipping from China, cheap, has everything
Gearbest
electronics, gadgets, wholesale and retail, there are good promotions
After a long search for the best store in China to order a smartphone, my husband chose Gearbest, a wholesale and retail online store of equipment, electronics and household goods. But first I decided to make a smaller purchase – a memory card.
The original language of the site is English, but there is the possibility of a clumsy translation into Russian. However, you will also have to search for the product in English. Prices are indicated in dollars, when converting $ 148.89 into rubles, the result is 9910.40 (at the current exchange rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation this is 9566.93). But compared to manufacturing sites, Gearbest undoubtedly wins in that prices are much cheaper.
The card arrived in 24 days in good condition with free delivery by mail. By the way, upon registration we were awarded additional bonuses, which we used for our next purchase, delivery for which was already arranged by courier, EMS (there is also FeedEx, DHL, etc.), we received the smartphone 10 days later, and it cost us only 370 rubles more ( along with insurance). Simply put, the higher the cost of the product, the cheaper the courier delivery (for a large purchase there is no courier delivery fee at all).
Ordering from this store is easier and cheaper without intermediaries - here they are definitely not needed, a Russian-speaking user can figure it out himself or ask a question directly on the site. One of the big disadvantages of the store is that not all the goods presented on the virtual showcases are in stock. Therefore, before paying, you need to contact the seller and clarify, for example, whether the smartphone is pink or only green ones are left.
Tinydeal.com
electronics, clothing, home, small selection, free shipping from China
Before you decide on Gearbest, my husband looked through a dozen wholesale and retail stores in China with equipment, including Tynedeal, which differs from its peers in lower prices, but also not particularly serious buyer protection(therefore, it is best to pay on the site using PayPal, which Chinese sellers are in awe of, and the risk of receiving a defective product is significantly reduced).
A Russian-speaking user will understand the translation of the site; prices are also displayed in Russian rubles and are pleasing in that they are slightly lower than the real exchange rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. But this joy does not last long: until the moment you start placing an order and find a disclaimer that this is not the final price, and the real cost must be clarified with the seller. Such a brilliant marketing move immediately brings you back to reality. In fact, what we mean here is that the rate of your bank, whose card you pay with, may differ from the rate of the site itself. Usually this difference is small, but for expensive purchases it is better to look at the price in usd and convert it into your currency yourself.
My friend constantly hung out on this site, and she recommended it to me, receiving additional coins for this - a 5% discount on her order. The trick of this Chinese online store is virtual coins. They distinguish the store from others - coins can be spent on purchases, and you can also receive them by writing reviews - with or without a photo. She often ordered small equipment, cell phone accessories, hair clips and similar things; once she made a wholesale order for 100 gauze scarves (for a corporate party at work), rejoicing that prices are a little cheaper than on aliexpress.
She complained, however, that she had to search for a product in English, although the site itself was perfectly translated into Russian. In the original, prices are set in dollars, and when converted to rubles, the markup is no more than 5%. Another disadvantage she noted is that the photographs posted by sellers often do not coincide with reality, and you should definitely refer to the reviews of other buyers. Almost all online stores in China are guilty of this.
The language of 1688, of course, is Chinese, even Google translator has a hard time coping with it. Prices are presented in RMB. Delivery is carried out by intermediaries, offering you a choice of standard mail, express delivery, and expedited delivery. Some even deliver only by courier service.
But, despite the fact that this site scares a Russian person who is accustomed to the comfort of aliexpress, it still makes sense to order here. For example, in the case when this product is not available in other online stores or you need the lowest possible price (or maybe you want to resell something?). For example, I found an excellent, almost professional machine for making spaghetti for 713 rubles; you must agree that it is difficult to find something similar here. So, if Taobao is not enough for you, welcome to 1688 - the cheapest online store in China!
Who hasn't tried ordering goods from Chinese online stores? Who hasn’t tried to buy cheaper in China and then show off this item to their friends? Probably every second person is already trying to develop the Asian market, because absolutely all conditions have been created for this. Full-fledged Internet resources have already been developed; they already offer millions of products that can be ordered to Russia and other CIS countries. That is why at the moment we decided to build the top 10 Chinese online stores with free shipping. Very interesting and honest trading platforms.
One of the largest online platforms in the modern world in terms of assortment and products sold. Competes without problems with such giants as Amazon and Rakuten. Currently part of the huge Chinese holding company Alibaba. The huge assortment of Aliexpress has long “passed” the horizon. Now you can buy absolutely anything here. And most importantly, the price level for goods in Aliexpress is simply ideal! The only problem is delivery. Not all goods may arrive, for example within 10-20 days. Some even last for several months.
Quite a “young” but promising trading platform. However, in Russia, the project’s PR campaign proceeds as quickly as possible. The owners of the project continue to intensively promote the online store in the CIS countries, so in the near future it may become one of the largest platforms. Which assortment is in greatest demand? And this is the minimum list of gadgets that are in demand among buyers.
The site started operating in 2004. This is one of the largest Internet platforms in China. Unfortunately, few Russian buyers paid attention to this Chinese online store, since the main demand comes from Aliexpress, but... This is not a problem, since the owners plan to enter the Russian market in the near future using innovative marketing tools. The selection of goods here is not just “wide”, it is huge. Naturally, various gadgets are in greatest demand: smartphones, phones, headphones and accessories.
Is one of the most popular online stores in China. Cooperates directly with Chinese manufacturers. It is in great demand in the Asian region, but has not yet reached the CIS countries. Today, LightInthebox is also expanding into Russia. For this purpose, the interface of the official website was improved (now you can buy in 2-3 clicks), and a Russian translation of the site was developed. In addition, users can now choose a currency (Russian ruble is also included here). The main advantages of the LightInthebox online store are assortment and low prices. The quality of the product is also not at a decent level.
One of the largest sites in China. It is extremely popular in the CIS countries (mostly in Ukraine and Russia). Initially, the online store focused on selling household appliances and electronics. In the process, management decided to gradually expand its range. The owners focused on a wide range and low prices. And the main advantage is free international shipping.
A very large Chinese online platform for selling goods for various purposes. The head office is located in Hong Kong. The hypermarket began its work in 2007. The main advantage of the site is that it is not third parties who sell on it, but the store itself (the holder of the goods). From the range: It is very important that in the TinyDeal online store you can get some products almost free of charge.
So to speak, one of the “pioneers” of Chinese online stores in the field of e-commerce. It is important that as soon as the project was created, it immediately began to gain momentum at a tremendous pace. Opened in 2004. The central office is located in Shenzhen. At the moment it is a partner of the large Alibaba project. The assortment today includes smartphones, accessories, tablets, computers and much more. Prices are quite low, so it is in high demand. Quite a large Chinese online store. Started working in 2006. Has free shipping worldwide. The store has numerous branches and warehouses around the world, but is most famous for its group purchasing. What does it mean? The more purchases a buyer makes in one go, the lower the price for the product. A very non-standard approach, which attracted the attention of numerous buyers.
Hello, dear readers and lovers of online shopping!
I am sure that for each of us, Chinese online stores, thanks to their low prices, are a very attractive place to shop.
And although many of them offer us products that are far from being of the best quality, I can say with confidence that experienced users always know how and where to buy Replicas of branded items are no worse, if not better, than the original.
I have compiled for you an overview list of the 10 best Asian trading platforms in Russian. In each of them you can find quality products at low prices.
How to buy a quality item at a good price?
An immense assortment, among which you can find everything - from a ballpoint pen to a fashionable gadget. Any Chinese or Korean online store can boast of constant availability and constant (almost daily) updating of goods.
In this regard, a “Chinese warning” to inexperienced online shoppers: there is no need to greedily rush to every “fresh” item in the catalog.
A rich assortment, as well as the work history of a particular seller, requires careful study; look at its rating and customer reviews. Usually this is enough to understand whether it’s worth buying something from him, or whether it’s better to look further.
A separate approach requires the analysis of each specific product. Personally, looking at reviews is enough for me. From them you can find out about the problems that buyers may have had, about delivery times, and, if you are lucky, you will be able to see reviews in the form of photographs. In general, reviews in photographs play a decisive role, unless, of course, a product can be judged only by its appearance.
Another small recommendation: Having chosen a product, do not rush to buy it; perhaps the exact same thing can be found from another seller or in another Chinese online store at a lower price. But again, don't forget to look at the seller and buyer reviews.
If you are not at all an experienced buyer and are very afraid of making a mistake (this happens when you want to buy an expensive item), then I would recommend that you find sites where people do unboxings and reviews of their purchases.

Chinese item - quality item
Not all, but many manufacturers from China have long stopped producing low-quality products that cannot even be called full-fledged goods.
Modern equipment and a “capitalist approach” to business have brought positive results for the consumer audience: things made in China are not repulsive in appearance, do not break from a light touch and meet all Western standards. Again, I repeat, not all manufacturers work this way. But our purchasing task is to find among millions of offers something that suits us in all respects.
I suggest searching in any Chinese online store in Russian. The most popular and visited sites translate catalogs into several languages, and primarily into Russian. Our compatriots in Chinese stores are the main and very respected customers.
How to save up to 4.5% on purchases?
Before we move on to the list of stores, I also want to tell you about a way you can save up to 4.5% on purchases. To do this you need to use special ones.
I have already talked in detail about how this works, but now briefly again: many online stores, in order to attract even more customers, enter into agreements with special services. In this way, stores manage to save on advertising and, at the same time, attract even more visitors.
In general, in order to receive a refund for a purchase, you need to register on one of the sites and install a special extension or application on your phone.
To better understand how it works, let's watch this video:
Here is a comparison table of the best services:
| № | Service | Cashback from Aliexpress | Cashback for phones | Minimum amount for payment | Our assessment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Letishops | 3,9*% | 1,95*% | 500 rubles | 5+ |
| 2 | Cash4brands | 3,1−5,21% | 1,6−12,69% | from 0 to 500 | 5+ |
| 3 | Epn Cashback | 5 - 90*% | 3*% | $ 0.2 | 5 |
| 4 | AliBonus | up to 4.59% | up to 4.51% | $ 5 | 4 |
10 best Chinese stores in Russian
I want to start with well-known million-plus sites , who sell a huge amount of goods daily wholesale and retail. First, I will give a comparison table, I think it will help you navigate better:
| № | Name | Opening year | Russian language | Free delivery | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AliExpress | 2006 | Eat | Eat | Miscellaneous |
| 2 | Taobao | 2006 | Translator | Eat | Miscellaneous |

| 8 | 2008 | Eat | Eat | Electronics | |
| 9 | 2007 | Eat | Eat | Miscellaneous | |
| 10 | 2004 | Eat | Eat | Miscellaneous |
Now a little more about each of the stores.
1.AliExpress
One of the largest online platforms in China with the ability to make purchases in various ways: wholesale, retail, through auction. Aliexpress, with its momentum, would not dare to call it just a store - it is an online hypermarket offering almost all types of goods.
Among the advantages of the site is the presence of a Russified version. Not just descriptions by some sellers of their goods in Russian, but a specially created version of a Chinese online store for Russian-speaking visitors.
More advantages:
- availability of mobile applications;
- the possibility of direct communication with the seller;
- buyer protection system (money for the goods is received by the seller only after the buyer confirms receipt of the goods);
- possibility of returning goods;
- promotional codes, discounts, promotions;
- a large number, created specifically for AliExpress.
2. Taobao
This store can rightfully be called the “brother” of AliExpress - their volumes of goods are almost the same, they both belong to the same corporation - Alibaba Group. But if Aliexpress is focused on the foreign market, then only Chinese citizens can make purchases on Taobao. Or those foreign buyers who have a phone with a Chinese SIM card and a bank card issued in China.
And it’s not so easy for a foreigner to understand Tao’s assortment - the site is in Chinese, without translation.
You can use the services of intermediaries, but why waste time and money if the same product can be found on AliExpress?
More than 30 thousand product items are provided in this large online store. The main assortment is clothing, accessories, cosmetics, electronics and household appliances.
The site has been created in several versions, one of which is Russian-language; in addition, there is an active VKontakte group where you can monitor the updating of the product range, ask questions of interest to the administration, and communicate with other users.
Bank cards are accepted for payment on the site; you can also pay for goods through popular electronic systems. There is no need to pay for delivery, but if you need to track the goods, you can choose EMS at a cost of $1.7. And if you bought goods worth more than $25, the parcel tracking service becomes free.
4. BuyInCoins
One of the cheapest stores among all Chinese retail outlets with affordable prices, one might say: cheaper than cheap ones. The BuyInCoins website especially attracts girls - nowhere else can you find so many beauty baubles at a penny price. By the way, the name of this Chinese online store in translation it sounds like this: “Buy for pennies.”
The interface is adapted for Russian-speaking users; familiarizing yourself with the characteristics of the goods is not a problem.
The catalog contains a huge selection of accessories for phones and computers, sporting goods and cute trinkets for the home. Free international shipping allows you to use the services of BuyInCoins sellers quite often without compromising your personal budget.
The store's assortment is based on Chinese electronics of all kinds, but there are lots representing light industrial goods, children's goods, household goods and pet supplies.
Chinabai has been on the market for a long time - since 2006, and has earned popularity among buyers not only due to its very low prices, but also to profitable affiliate programs.
The only drawback is that the Chinese online store speaks Russian so poorly that it is difficult for the buyer to navigate the sections of the catalog and the characteristics of the goods.
6. DealExtreme
Many buyers remember this site by its former name – DealExtreme.com. and they claim that here you can buy both Chinese fakes and original branded items - you are especially lucky with originals from brands in the clothing section.
A visitor can create a convenient online shopping experience for himself by switching the interface language to Russian and the currency to rubles. Delivery is free, the client pays for the goods from a card or from PayPal and WebMoney e-wallets.
7.DinoDirect
The store is recognizable, first of all, thanks to its funny logo - an image of a good-natured dinosaur. But the site is not only famous for dinosaurs; most buyers note the high quality of the goods and return for purchases with great pleasure.
One of the peculiarities of the service is that the sellers always put some pleasant surprise in each parcel (samples of cosmetics, small souvenirs, discount coupons) - the buyers are very happy.
The disadvantage is that the site is not adapted for buyers from the CIS. Translation into Russian can only be done using Google; you will have to convert prices into your “native” currency using a currency calculator. It’s not very convenient and not very accurate, but our compatriots somehow get out of it and continue to make purchases on DinoDirect.
Those wishing to register can find detailed instructions on special resources. A caveat: when registering or paying, the service may require your passport information to verify your bank card.
A rich platform - you can choose goods all day long - and not just for “putting aside and dreaming”, but also for “buying and using” - the prices allow it. The “Everything for $2” section is especially attractive; it contains so many not always necessary, but very cute little things that you want to buy everything at once.
The Chinese store FocalPrice in Russian introduces the buyer in great detail to all lots and categories of goods, and, nevertheless, received a serious remark from Russian-speaking visitors - the version adapted for our compatriots has a very modest assortment compared to the version in Chinese.
A discount on the site is given only after joining the affiliate program or receiving a promotional code.
A million product items, daily updated assortment, warehouses in the USA and UK, multilingual support service - all these are the characteristics of a reputable trading platform. Very solid.
However, the prices here are appropriate - lovers of cheap things will definitely not like it. And delivery is paid. But for buyers from the CIS there is an option not to pay - just order the goods on another site, very similar, called MiniInThebox (they have the same owner) - and enjoy the usual free delivery from China.
An impressive assortment and low prices – what else does a Russian buyer need? Particularly pleasing are the sections of the store with prices within certain limits: up to 99 cents, up to 1 dollar 99 cents, etc.
Promotions are one of the ways of sales, they are held regularly, it is impossible to be late for them: as soon as one ends, another starts almost immediately.
The store has warehouses in the UK, Germany and the USA.
One of the disadvantages is that only PayPal accepts payment.
Why is shipping from China free?
This is not entirely true - parcels from Chinese online stores still have a price, albeit a low one.
The cost of delivery is included in the price of the product, but it is so insignificant that the buyer simply does not notice it. And this is beneficial for all three parties to the transaction: the buyer pays inexpensively and receives his goods without bothering with paying for delivery, the seller successfully sells, and the postal service receives its percentage.
Judging by how many goods from Chinese stores travel around the world every day - a very significant percentage!
How to track a parcel?
Sometimes it is very important to pick it up on time. Otherwise, she may simply go back to China.
Usually, after placing an order, in the store you can receive a parcel tracking number, which you can enter on one of the special sites. For example, here's how it's done on AlieExpress:
Let's summarize
There are no ideal online platforms: one is not satisfied with the price, the other with the quality of the product. But if you study several of them, understand what their pros and cons are, and find conscientious sellers (and there are some in China), then you can make inexpensive, profitable purchases on an ongoing basis.
By the way, many experienced buyers have already established . Maybe this will be interesting to you too?
I wish you a pleasant shopping experience and look forward to your feedback on the stores you liked or didn’t like.
Best regards – Sergey Ivanisov.
All the best to everyone!
Nowadays, many small things (some clothes, gadgets, electronics, etc.) are much more profitable to buy in Chinese online stores. Judge for yourself, delivery in the vast majority of stores is free, they don’t need to pay rent, there are no extraneous markups that are present in a regular store...
I'm not even talking about the fact that many products simply cannot be found in regular sales - they are much easier to order on the Internet (for example, I recently needed a battery for one old phone - I was able to find it only in China 
).
In this article, I would like to highlight several online sites from China where you can find some of the cheapest goods. I think that due to our unfavorable economic situation in the country, the article should be very relevant...
Remark!
If you want to return part of the money spent to your card (i.e. receive cashback), I recommend that you read this article:
Online stores with the cheapest goods
AliExpress
AliExpress is one of the most popular and well-known online stores (at least in our country). The range of goods is tens of thousands, from small needles to fairly large goods (TVs, computers, etc.).
The platform is essentially an intermediary between thousands of sellers and stores from China and buyers from all over the world. The store guarantees that you will receive your goods (protection is provided during the delivery of the goods - if the goods are not delivered, your money will be returned).
AliExpress - main page of the site
The site is quite user friendly. You can quickly scroll through product categories, sort by number of orders, ratings, reviews. Those. everything is done so that anyone can quickly find the most popular and popular products.
By the way, the store often has sales on certain categories of goods, and there is a newsletter from the store with all the top items. In general, I recommend it to everyone who is not yet familiar with it...
Accept payment: cards, WebMoney, QIWI, Yandex money, etc. Prices in the store are displayed in rubles.
Important!
If you have never ordered goods from Chinese online stores, I recommend that you read these instructions: (and get a discount).
TinyDeal
Hong Kong online store, and by the way, a very decent one! Despite the fact that the range of products here is smaller than on AliExpress, it has some advantages:
AliExpress, of course, also has selections of products - but it’s not done so conveniently (in my opinion). I will add that you can also pay in TinyDeal in many ways: WebMoney, bank cards, etc. The store supports Russian, prices are in rubles.
Banggood
Quite a good and pleasant online store, surprising with affordable prices and assortment. I would like to note that the store has Russian-speaking employees (which is something that many of this site’s competitors lack). In addition, they are on the VK network (so far only a small group, but development is underway).
Sales are held regularly on certain product themes. I note that when paying with some methods (for example, using QIWI or Webmoney) you are given a 5% discount.
DealExtreme
Home page of the DX website (short name for DealExtreme)
A huge store, the main assortment of which is audio-video, household appliances, computer equipment, gadgets and other electronics. Those. If you are looking for some gadget, adapter, storage devices, etc., I recommend checking out this store (there are probably very interesting options here).
Delivery in the store is free, however, the delivery period is variable - from 14-30 days. I also note that some problems with payment may arise: only bank cards, WebMoney and PayPal are accepted.
GearBest
A huge Chinese store with a bunch of different products. Of course, it is inferior to AliExpress in terms of assortment, but it will beat it in terms of prices for some categories of goods. For example, here you can look for cheap electronics.
I also want to note that GearBest has a very convenient function for comparing products. For example, you choose a phone for yourself - add several models that interest you. And then on the plate you see all the differences between one and the other - it’s very clear and helps you quickly make a choice.
As for delivery, it is free. For all goods over $40 - a tracking number is issued; if the product costs less, you can send the product with a track number for $2 (relevant for our country, where parcels without a track number are often lost). For example, there is no such option on AliExpress...
I note that in case of various problems, GearBest is much faster and more responsive than many other online stores (the support is quite friendly). Among the significant disadvantages, I would note the stinginess of payment options: only bank cards and PayPal (many people have the former, but the “stick” is not very popular in our country).
Joom
A store with a very wide range of goods: household goods, clothing, shoes, various electronics, suitcases, bags, watches, there is even jewelry.
I note that each product is accompanied by a description and photographs (more complete than those of many competitors). It’s also worth adding that placing an order takes just 3 mouse clicks (i.e. everything is simplified). The site as a whole is very high quality Russified. There is free delivery of goods to Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
By the way, there is a promotion - the store gives a 10% discount on your first purchase. In addition, various promotions are often held that will allow you to save even more money...
Pandao
Pandao - a store with free delivery of all goods to Russia
Pandao is a trading platform launched by Mail.ru Group itself (it’s worth it alone to see what kind of store they have). Many predict that Pandao will be able to seriously displace AliExpress, because... the service sells goods directly from manufacturers (and purchases them on an industrial scale).
The range of goods is very wide: clothes, shoes, a bunch of electronics (phones, laptops, tablets, flash drives, disks, etc.), various household goods. Delivery of goods is carried out by Russian Post and is free.
I will also note that the store is very well Russified, and it is unlikely to find a product description here in semi-Russian (as on AliExpress). In general, I recommend you check it out!
