Trusted online shops
« on: May 21, 2013, 07:42:06 pm »
Hello. Please write and discuss about the e-shops you order stuff from, how is the quality etc. Apart from the obvious ebay or amazon or newegg.

I always order stuff from http://dx.com/ . Service is good, I always receive what I get. Lots of stuff, gadgets and other junk for cents practically. The stuff gets to my home in about a month, sometimes two and only once my package somehow disappeared, that was unusual.
They could use a better support team, because ones they have has poor english skills.

Um, here are the shops I use, and all of them have sick quality and service. Amazing.

andertons.co.uk - guitars, amps and effects and other guitar stuff
chainreactioncycles.com - bike components and bikes
wiggle.com - cycling gear

All computer stuff comes from ebay or newegg so no unusual shops for that.

PS Waiting to see who will be the first to mention silkroad.
Edit: the first one to do so was Ragehottie.

Therefore a crucial step to becoming a better programmer is learning how to avoid getting stuck, to recognize when you’re stuck, and to get unstuck." -Jeff Wofford

SSilkroad is best for me when it comes to illegal things. I know people that have only gotten arrested 2 or 3 times! Not bad at all I have never been arrested, though I order off it very scarcely. But the drugs are good and a okay price.

I use newegg for all my computer parts (never been a ebay user)


Since Ragehottie already mentioned Silkroad there is another site BMR (black market reloaded). It seems alot more sketchy than SR but it has an 'armory' kinda shitty tho but i'd say give it a check if you're curious. I have seen other sites in onionland that offer guns for sale but i don't even use Silkroad.

I feel bad for not giving you the answer you were looking for, and I know that you hate drugs :p so I did some history mining and came across some other sites I've been to.

Link: http://m.tigerdirect.com/
TigerDirect- it has new and refurbished computer parts. I have noticed that you can come across some pretty cheap parts on this site the store I work for has used this site a few times since over worked there. It's border line as popular as newegg or used to be.

Link: http://www.dynamism.com/
Dynamism- I don't think this site has computer parts but more like interesting hardware on it, like one of those hand held computers with SD and USB slots. You might have to look around it to find something actually worthwhile. Also I think it's purpose was to open up U.S. citizens to some of the euro electronics market.

Link: http://www.jd.com/
JD- is a huge Chinese online store for all your cheap shit Asian needs. Personally I just like looking through it. I don't think I'll ever buy anything from it but I have a friend who enjoys the Chinese market.

The last two links are 'gadget' stores for the general public. I very seldomly find things on here I find interesting but I might as well link them for you so you can give them a look.

Link: http://www.thinkgeek.com/
ThinkGeek is a really popular online store for these kinda of things.

 Link:http://www.firebox.com/
FireBox- same thing as ThinkGeek except more 'hipster' and more exspensive.

Hope this is what you were looking for :)
