Hey guy, anyone has the experiences of buying phones from China? Is it safe or risky? Do I need to pay a lot of customs taxes?
One of my friends from Spain once ordered several phones from this web site, “www.mobigarden.com “, he said the price is cheap and it is fast, but I am still worried, anyone also ordered from this site? I hope someone can give me suggestions? Thanks in advance.
I looked at the domain registration information and this is what popped out at me:

Quote:Domain Name ..................... mobigarden.com
Registrant Name ................. guang zeng
Registrant Organization ......... shenzhen linkbank techonology company
Registrant Address .............. shenzhenshifutianquhonglixilutianjianmingyuan

I googled the address and found a number of other domains registered with that address. I then googled the organization and found other domains registered by that company that were reported as scam sites. I would not purchase anything from the site or even go to the site if I were you.
I would find the similar phone on eBay from a respectable seller. When available, always go through a protected medium, such as eBay, PayPal... something legit.
While,

Considering all phones are pretty while made in China. Why not buy it direct?

But, seriously, it is best to get it from a dealer.. Then it is direct. You get a warranty or safety net. What happens if the phone is junk? You can't just send it back.
100 % safe......I also buy IPhones from china.Its no problem.
um, they didnt even spell "technology" right...i would definitely avoid that. the best thing to do (if you can afford it) is buying it new at the carrier's store, next best for a little cheaper is ebay.
Another thing is that a ton of devices that come from china have some kinda of malware embedded into the systems. Also most of our electronics are made their already...so you kinda are buying from china. Also a lot of things you buy from other countries are just nock offs of the real thing. But if you do what to by cheap make sure the other end is reputable and you go through secure mediums like ebay.
