Hi, anyone experience purchasing TV from China Taopao before. I thinking to buy the TCL 85Q9K mini led TV from Taopao. Beside no local warantty and slow delivery. Any others things that I needed to concerns.
TIA.

wow you dare to risk like this paying hell a lot money for risk losing it all? I bought locally a samsung TV arrives screen cracked, lucky seller allow me to replace. If oversea broken I wish you good luck

Personally I won't dare to buy TV...

Other small electronics devices...

CUstom withhold item at airport

Buy it locally, why would you risk yourself purchasing 85 inch tv from china 🇨🇳📺🙄🔥

Same here, some people are freaking rich and love to burn huge amounts of money just like that 🙄💸🔥

Many Rich YOLO people around...

Small matter only is damage.. just buy another one....

In my case bought 58" Samsung 4k tv with 2 years warranty, around 1 and half years display panel problem, claim for warranty, they replace it with brand new 65" 4k tv

That's the beauty of local warranty by manufacturer 🥸🔥

Why wan to buy from china?
1. Models available there are higher end (not available locally), eg mini-led, very bright HDR with much higher local dimming zones etc
2. Much cheaper price. Eg the model he wants is a TCL 85” mini led with 2.4k Nits, 1.5k LED, 144hz for about rm3.xk. Compare that with local version TCL 85” C755 current price (which is lower spec) and you might understand.


Why worry about buying from china?
1. Warranty claim is hassle. Will need to send the TV back to china. Cost of sending back and return borne by buyer, super expensive. Unlikely will attempt even if TV spoilt.
2. Delivery. The delivery from china to Malaysia when buy is “relatively cheap”. Estimate about rm500 using official logistics. Add about rm100 for a wooden frame for protection. Takes 1 month to arrive. No issue with custom, its not a prohibited item. You can also use own logistic companies, in which you can choose to also buy insurwnce for transportation.
3. The OS will be in china os. Not really android. Cannot uodate with android firmware. Might have some english selection, but hassle. Cant access app store, need to sideload apk (if possible). Usually end up using with either a HTPC or tv box.

So TS,
Did you buy the tv? 🤔🔥

Not yet, Still considering however don't mind taking the risk because it's only 35% price of the local TLC 85c755 mini led.

Ok good luck 😃🔥

I buy 20-30 laptop used, monthly frm china
I won't even consider buy a tv.

U want cheap n good go buy used TV
Far less risk n cheaper

He mentioned pay only 35% compared the price that selling locally for 85" tv

Personally from my point of view, he took high risk just because it's cheap, still huge amount of money his paying even though just 35% compared locally, no warranty which is the downside of it, not worth it 🙄🔥

If like this...

Got damage...

Don't bother claiming warranty...

Buy another one... Since it's way cheaper....

Since it's freaking cheap, buy 3 units kasi borong, worth to pay tax, then sell the other 2 units to get profit or keep it rosak satu saya ada lagi 2, banyak ngam 🤔🔥

People nowdays so rich, don't bother bout warranty, manufacturers give warranty also don't want 😅🔥

Good idea boss 👍

Nowadays people just throw away their electrical items when spoiled... Parts also mostly don't have one...

Nowadays flooded with china brand electrical goods, cheap and when spoiled just throw away, that one i won't mind

But certain things like tv, 85" some more, it's better buy locally plus got warranty, it's tv maa not a rice cooker

😁🔥
