    Are the LED torches any good? Are they bright like non LED torches? Would i be right in saying they have a much better battery life than traditional torches since they're LED based?

    I have just received a fantastic LED torch from http://www.ledshoppe.com for $3 including delivery from Hong Kong. The guys even threw in a couple of small laser torches.

    It got me thinking, what other Asian sites are out there that we are missing out on and could be sharing with each other? Sites that are trustworthy, low cost shipping and recommended by MSE readers.

    I look forward to all the interesting reponses

    Which of their torches did you purchase? :beer:

    Has anybody any experience of returning any faulty goods to this company? I've just had my first order, the rechargeable batteries are excellent value and seem perfectly OK, and I got 3 free keyring torches as promised, but the main item doesn't work!
    It's an FM transmitter built into a car cigarette lighter plug, for transmitting MP3 output to the car radio. It cost $8, about £4, and although I haven't yet found out exactly how much it would cost to return, I guess it's not gonna be cheap. The website seems to indicate that postage will not be refunded, but is unclear whether that only applies to returns or whether it also applies to faulty goods. No Sale of Goods Act applicable here, so I imagine they can do what they want!
    For the sake of £4 I don't know whether it's worth the hassle - probably better to just put it down to experience.
  • I have found LED Shoppe VERY good. If there are any problems with items, they have always refunded me, no questions asked! :T :j :T :D

    Just for the record, they replied to my email saying that they would refund me for the non-working item. I have since checked my credit card statement and they have done so.
    I shall definitely use them again, good customer service like that should be supported.
