Many people are thinking about buying a smartphone from Chinese online stores. The price is cheaper there, but the risks associated with such a purchase are frightening. This article is based on real experience with such online stores. These tips will help you speed up the delivery of your smartphones and understand how to choose a seller with minimal risk to yourself.

Step 1
It is most profitable to buy smartphones made by brands of this particular country on Chinese trading floors. Moreover, there are two levels of brands. The so-called noname, i.e. brands that are unknown to anyone, but are much cheaper. And the Chinese brands are quite familiar to us: Lenovo, Xiaomi, JiaYu. These companies produce quite high-quality devices that are worthy of our attention. So the first piece of advice is this. Try to choose smartphones from leading Chinese brands, do not take risks with "gray horses".
Step 2
If in ordinary online stores a 20% discount is considered prohibitive, then on Chinese trading floors you can see 50%. And it doesn't have to be a bad product. It's just that new models of smartphones are laid out with a large margin. By the time of the release of new models of the brand of the next generation, the prices for the previous one are discounted significantly. This is how 50% is obtained.
But the big discount still shows us that the smartphone may not be bad, but clearly not new. So the second rule of buying on such sites will be as follows.
Try not to choose smartphones from sellers that offer them at a price that is suspiciously low compared to other sellers.
Step 3
The key point is delivery times. In general, they are more dependent on a lottery called Russian Post, and all sellers in this sense are approximately equal. But recently, offers have appeared with shipment from a warehouse in Russia. In this case, the price is slightly higher, but the delivery time is reduced to 5-6 days. This is similar to the delivery of any domestic store.
Consider, if possible, offers with delivery from a warehouse in Russia. In this case, delivery will be carried out with a minimal risk of the smartphone getting stuck at customs and in the endless networks of the Russian Post.
