Gadget-Asia

Hi

Does anyone know anything about a company/site called Gadget-Asia and if it is safe to order from there?

I am looking to buy a Nintendo DS and they seem to have amazing deals but I am fearful of their not being entirely legit?

    Well one thing to be aware of is that you may no longer be covered by warranty by buying outside of the UK/EU. Nintendo seem to be quite firm on the rules of their warranties and importing. Not to mention your normal consumer rights have no juristiction either.

    And that's if it IS a legit site.

  • Eek, I was hoping for a green light!

    Do you know how I can find out more about them?
  • It's a Hongkong shop, the only problem beyond a guarantee is will you be paying tax on the product? It could be a major bummer to get a £30 or whatever tax bill with your parcel, just a gamble I guess like the HK $ US ebayers, chances are the plug would be the chinese or hong kong 2 pin, just needs changing.
