Any Good Web- / Internet-Shops Around Here?

[galvheim]

Hi,

I have recently come over a few webshops that has their base in Hong Kong (ie. DealExtreme.com, http://then.strawberrynet.com/main.aspx?region=THEN). These are mainly electronic gadget-shops and also cosmetics, and offer cheap prices and worldwide free shipping. I now see that many things in Tuk-com is actually very overpriced, sometimes even 3 times more expensive.

but my question is: do you guys know of any good internet-shops with base here in Thailand? I not mean these rip-off souvenir-shops selling thai-silk to weteners, but actual webshops that compete with other shops in this country, and which a Thai would go to do some shopping. Also I'm interested in webshops from the SE-Asia region in general.

They may be specific as well as general; just any shop that lets you order thier product without too much fuzz and that you can pay to using PayPal or creditcards.

(As a small PS: could anyone tell me what I have to go through if I bought lets say items for 400$ from one of these sites as a private person, and having it sent by EMS-express to my address here in Thailand? How will it work with regards to paying customs?)

Here is a list of mainly technical online shops in Thailand >

You might be more specific as to what type of shops (products) you are interested in as I have some others I can dig out. Could be useful to create a list of them from members.

Yes, I think that would be very useful too. As I said: "just any shop that lets you order thier product without too much fuzz and that lets you pay using PayPal or creditcards", so its pretty general.

All online shops that you might know.

It would also be nice if the poster will detail the following:

1) URL

2) What they sell

3) Shipping cost

4) and maybe a short Pros/Cons from own experience shopping there - if any.

For me, I'm not looking for anything specific in general, just curious to what is out there. Got a lot of crap-links from Google, when i did a general search there...

EDIT: Thanks for that link by the way :-)

Is there a directory of web sites/stores for stores that sell things that Farang's keep asking about on TV ie vitamins, food, appliances, tools, Doctors, etc.
