Amazon is one of the most used e-commerce sites in Italy, also thanks to the huge number of products on offer and the assistance always available to solve problems. If we want to buy something, Amazon is definitely the first choice; in recent times, however, prices are no longer as affordable as in the past, and what appear to be good offers are actually "mirrors for larks" put there with a fake discount, ready to attract users. If we really want to save money, who should we turn to "> Sites to buy alternative PC components from Amazon
Alternatives to Amazon to buy online
1) ePRICE
The first site that we recommend to visit as a good alternative to Amazon is ePRICE, reachable here-> ePRICE .
On this site we will find the best offers for consumer electronics, large appliances, for PCs, notebooks, TVs and any other category at competitive prices. ePRICE offers an efficient express courier service (24 / 48H) and supports PayPal as a payment system together with the other methods (payment on delivery, credit card, prepaid, bank transfer). Many products are offered for free delivery, while the larger ones may have additional costs (including installation and first start).
2) eBay
Another very valid alternative to Amazon that we recommend you try is eBay, available here -> eBay .
On the eBay site there are not only auctions (however available), but also thousands of products sold in the Buy It Now format.
Products in the Buy It Now format can be offered for sale both by private users and by shops or large distribution chains, it's up to us to choose who to trust. In general, by buying from sellers with a large number of positive feedbacks, we will obtain rapid consensus, clear prices and good after-sales assistance. PayPal is the preferred payment system, able to fully cover the expense made in the event of problems or parcels not received. Shipping is free on many products, while on others shipping costs may be expected if express courier is chosen as the delivery method (which is highly recommended for expenses over € 30).
3) AliExpress
Directly from China comes the store that boasts even more Amazon products, namely AliExpress .
The site can be reached from here -> AliExpress
If we are looking for a way to save money, AliExpress is definitely the right one for us. On this site we can find thousands of products of Chinese origin for practically any sales category, from home accessories to Smart TVs and smartphones of the most important Chinese brands such as Xiaomi, Meizu etc.
AliExpress ships from China and Hong Kong, so when completing the order it will be necessary to choose the most suitable type of shipping: in any case, the delivery times are hardly less than 15 days, to which the likely customs costs must be added. The site offers an effective buyer protection system: in the event of fraud or obviously counterfeit products, you can get your money back.
AliExpress unfortunately does not support PayPal, so we will have to use a credit card (preferably prepaid) to make purchases on the site.
4) Groupon Shopping
Groupon is famous for the coupons offered to access restaurants, spas and more, but has recently set up a real shop where you can buy everything!
The shopping site can be reached here -> Groupon Shopping
In this section of the site we will find products on offer for practically any category: cars, clothing, electronics, entertainment, home, health and beauty and accessories. Prices are highly competitive (personally tested!) With discounts of up to 40%, as well as shipping costs (free on some products, very low on other bulky ones). Many of the opportunities are flash offers, so you should take advantage of it right away because stocks are limited and could end even on the same day (the most searched items end up in a few hours!). Groupon accepts PayPal as a payment method, allows you to track the parcel from the reserved section and provides email for each phase of the transaction, so you always have everything under control. In addition to PayPal, it also allows you to pay directly by credit card or prepaid card.
