Techlover wroteHi guys.
When searching aliexpress i found very good prices of new phones from lg, nokia,asus,samsung...with good feedbacks.
Had anyone tried to buy an original well known & popular brand phone from aliexpress or such websites ?
If yes have you paid customs & vat?
I don't recommend that for many reasons:
1- Most of these are refurbished (HTC, LG, Samsung, Sony, etc.. Asus is another story). Original yeah but used and refurbished (even if they state it as new).
2- Lebanon has maybe one of the lowest prices on smartphones worldwide. So it won't be logical to get a phone from china whereas you can buy it here locally for pretty good prices! What if it had defects?
3- It makes sense to order unavailable phones in here from china, and these are pretty good, maybe even better than those brands mentioned above... Like xiaomi, Meizu, LeTV, Huawei, Lenovo, etc...
