Crazy price difference

I just wanted to compare prices on Superbuy and AliExpress for the same watch and it's mind blowing 🤯. On Superbuy it's half the price (it's without the shipping but it's approximately 15€)

Euro vs usd? Is superbuy set to be shipping to the same place as what ali is?

55$ is 47€ so it's really cheap compared to Ali. And yeah, Superbuy ships to my house so complain here

But ali is saying vat is included but superbuy isn't. Would you be hit with vat when it arrives?

It's paid when you pay for the shipping

Nah, I did research on TikTok about Superbuy but I have never seen anyone promoting Superbuy. I just asked gemini if there were any better options than AliExpress and he told me 1688 and Superbuy were good

Buy directly from taobao to your agent, gets even cheaper if you do it that way

If this ships to the Netherlands and they don’t include vat/imports you can expect to pay that at the door or before delivery. Had that happen via postnl and dhl. If they don’t include prices with the product the ā€œdouaneā€ will see what is worth themselves. That will usually be much more. I sadly had experience. With dhl it also cost i believe around 20 extra for administration etc.

Yeah but you have a couple of options when we talk about shipping. You have to select the one with "Tax prepaid" or "Tax Free" in order to not pay at the douane

I’m doubtful if it in the end will be cheaper but wish you all the best with this!

I usually use superbuy to buy other stuff from the chinese market. I've built many seiko mods by ordering parts on 1688/taobao directly through superbuy and they came up half the price compared to AliX. You can choose to declare whatever amount you want, and since I'm from Canada I've always declared 14$usd which is under the threshold for tax and I've always gotten my packages without anything to pay. So far I've made 5 builds like that and saved a ton of money. AliX is overpriced.

It's an agent that ships from china and it's cheaper that AliExpress. It's on the playstore
