Just in case anyone hasn't heard of this site, they need to.

www.dealextreme.com

Every geek's dream, lots of NDS goodies and tons of gadgets.

I wouldn't post it if I thought this site was well-known, but this is the first time I've ever seen it.  So much great stuff there.  I've been browsing their inventory for like 2 hours, I've got $100+ of stuff in my shopping cart.  Crazy good prices.

Free shipping, though I'm guessing that's USA-only.  If they have free shipping to Canada, I want to bear this guy's children.

Its free shipping to the world i think.

ALL CANADIAN THREAD!!!!

[Hi]

Oh my gosh that place is amazing price-wise.

The big question... Is this one of those things that are "To good to be true?"

Has anyone actually bought from them? What are your thoughts. Is this actually an amazing store, or is it as cheap as their prices.

[Altor]

They *seem* to be legit.  People here have talked about them, I think... that's where I got the site from.  Based on reading the feedback on some items, they accept returns and pay return shipping even.  They seem to have very good customer service and have above-average English skills ... still some "engrish" in some item descriptions though.

They are very clear that much of their stuff comes from China (but then, almost everything does nowadays), and have a warning on some items that they admit the manufacturer's description sounds ridiculous  :lol:

Seems to be a great place for bulk prices on common lithium-ion batteries, button cell and otherwise.

Anyways, I'll be able to say for sure if they're any good or not pretty soon, I'm about to place my order.

I hope it doesn't suck  :?  Neat design though, and unlike that other one I've been looking at, it doesn't require that you remove your battery in order to use it, so it's not such a "permanent" modification, and doesn't make you lose your wifi settings.

Also buying: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1894 and a bunch of weird items I couldn't live without once I knew they existed  :lol:

Yes, looks like they ship worldwide for free.

Holy snarf, their express 3-5 day shipping is cheap as heck!  Under $10 for this huge order's shipping?  Where do I sign!?   lol

edit:  Oh I get it, the larger the order the cheaper the express shipping.  Makes sense... unless my order is expensive because it's 500 kilos of laser pointers...

A few blatantly obvious decription errors: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.3590  If that zoom level isn't an error, I'll take their entire inventory.

Why are you buying laser pointers from DealExtreme?  It is known that the IR filters aren't so great and they can cause BIG damage to your eyes.  You should buy from manufacturers such as Wicked Lasers and Dragonlasers.  The sad thing is, my brother knows a lot about these laser pointers.    Also be sure to buy safety goggles.

[Altor]

Laser pointers?  Oh, no that was a joke I'm not actually buying any.  Yeah I know, their green pointers don't have the IR filter, unsafe.

One warning about this site: their shopping cart cookies don't last for very long.  I just lost the entire contents of my shopping cart while I was investigating one of their items.  Luckily I hit "back" enough times and was able to find my shopping cart and re-add all the items!

edit: rofl, I added an item to my cart, EMS shipping jumped up $10!  Dropped the quantity by one (down to 7) and it goes down again, heh.  I think I'll just get 7.  :lol:

[Hi]

Why not just get the slow free shipping, it takes longer, but it's free.

What's the rush?

[dantheman]

I've heard their free shipping can often take weeks to arrive.  Otherwise I've heard good things about them.  PocketHeaven uses them as a sponsor, using this referral link, though I'm not sure if they've made much money from that.  They used to have a killer deal on an R4 and 1 GB microSD card, but I think the price has risen recently.

[PharaohsVizier]

I've just ordered a pocket universal remote and an eWin rumble pack from them.  Pretty decent prices!

[Altor]

Why not just get the slow free shipping, it takes longer, but it's free.

What's the rush?

For $3.96 on an order of $170?  Yeah, I'll take the rush shipping.  :razz:

[PharaohsVizier]

What the?  Why was your extra shipping so cheap?  To get my $4 remote control shipped out fast, they wanted an extra $11!
