Best site to buy cheap overseas

[andy1211]

Hi guys any views personal experience or suggestions re buying from overseas for cheap tax free mods & equipment... I’d be grateful for your knowledge thanks

Tax free means EU or China, who the hell knows what will happen after Brexit with regards to EU imports?
The Chinese sites put a lowball value on the customs declaration form to get round customs fees.
Shipping is much the same with all of them hit and miss, sometimes you'll get your package in a week other times 3 or 4 weeks and there's really no telling which it will be regardless of what the shipping options say when you order i just pick the free option and forget it until it gets delivered.

I've used all of the following with no issues, in no particular order.
www.fasttech.com/
www.3fvape.com/
www.gearbest.com/electronic-cigarettes-c_11281
www.efun.top
www.2fdeal.com
www.everzon.com/
www.cigabuy.com/
www.ave40.com/
www.3avape.com/
www.healthcabin.net/

Keep in mind it's currently the Chinese NY holidays so if you're ordering stuff now your order will likely not get processed until after the holidays end adding some extra time to your order at the moment.

Last piece of advice use Paypal for payment not a debit or credit card.
Firstly with Paypal all they're gonna have of your details is your email address so if their database is hacked or some unscrupulous employee decides to sell customer details your money is safe whereas if they have your card details then spending your money is simple for a scammer, secondly it's easy to file a dispute with Paypal if neeeded.

Fastech (often abbreviated to FT) is probably the main/biggest one www.fasttech.com
As with anything bought overseas there is the possibility of being charged import duty and VAT and Royal Mail handling fees.

I'm sure others will have other suggestions.

Also if ordering from overseas.... always useful/safer sticking to Paypal transactions.

Not much more to add andy1211 to the great advice already given by the gents, although FastTech currently have a CNY discount code(s) running . . . . normally I use British Express Shipping but with the delay in shipping orders due to the holiday, there maybe isn't anything to be gained paying extra for that at the moment.

( I also request that they mark all my orders with a value of less than $15. )

Only other advice I would give, especially with Fasttech is, make sure your required item states "in stock" or "ships next day". If it states ships in 3, 5, 7, days then those days can turn into weeks. Cigabuy and 3fvape are much the same as Fasttech with their shipping but Gearbest have been pretty much a non event for me, I don't even bother checking their website now.
