Hi has anyone here heard of this website?
http://www.banggood.com/
Apparently they do free international shipping.
Will there be any taxes if I were to buy a keyboard from them? Thanks. biggrin.gif

No taxes. Most items are cheaper via taobao, except for two keyboards.

Ah thanks!
Even does taobao charge shipping cost/tax?

Just saw the Mechanical line-up for that website you show
CODE
http://www.banggood.com/Wholesale-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard-c-2189-0-0-0-36-0-price-0-0_page2.html

Mostly Keycool, KBC Poker, and some Ducky that I know, the rest I'm not sure about its origin, and... mostly ship from China.
No different than tabao and not cheap for the price as well. sweat.gif

Yeah, I plan to get the keycool one, hard to beat at that price (250-ish after promo code)

I'm looking for 60% as well for office use, the laptop membrane really kills my finger right now.
It's the poison of using MX Brown, even this chiclet keyboard is not as comfortable as I type on my Filco + IMSTO keycap. sweat.gif
Not sure of Keycool 84 quality....  hmm.gif

Hahaha, I'm planning to get the 87 one.
I've did abit of reading on it as I've never heard of the brand before, so far so good, would get the QFR if any dealers here have it but sigh :/

How about CM QuickFire Stealth? Also has media keys but the legend is side printed though, and lack of *blink blink*
Last last I still choose Filco, didn't regret don't have media keys, been lived without it since few years ago when I bought my louzy KVM (Dlink KVM can't support extra keys other than 104-key), I just use other unused keys to substitute the media keys.

Yeah, thought about that, but the cheapest I found was 315, its RM60 difference, a lot for a college student :/

Nope.
A general reminder from a dude who used to buy from banggood because he doesn't know reading cainis;
TAOBAO IS CHEAPER 99% OF THE TIME.

Okay, the prices are INDEED much cheaper, like really hard-to-believe cheap 0.0
Correct if I'm wrong, but taobao works like ebay right? You deal with individual seller vs warehouse style (amazon).

How Taobao works:
1. China sellers will only send parcels in mainland China, max to HK/TW areas. Most of them are unwilling to send overseas directly.
2. To solve problem 1, find an agent to help you place order & arrange for your parcels to be sent to a warehouse then packed together to send over to Malaysia.
Basically it's easier to find an agent than to navigate Taobao by yourself because if you have no idea how Taobao's shipment and payment systems work, you're going to have a headache and a bad time especially if you don't understand Chinese  rclxub.gif

PS: I do take Taobao orders  whistling.gif

Aha I see, I'll keep that in mind if I decide to pull the trigger.
Thanks for offering! biggrin.gif
