Focal Price VS DealExtreme - Slurm- - Feb 5, 2012
ive been watching these 2 websites lately and ive seen good reviews on both sites, and ive seen bad reviews on both sites. the bad reviews are almost always shipping related.
and i was wondering if anyone has purchased from one site or preferably both sites and could give a little insight on their experiance,
ive made a purchase on DealExtreme and based on people buying from them in the past i guess i shouldnt expect my package for about a month :(

I have made 2 purchases from deal extreme. Both shipments took over 2 months, and the products were in stock.
I have made 20+ purchases form focal price, and none have taken more than 3 weeks. Some items were out of stock. I bought a fake tablet from them, during chinese new year, and it shipped out the next day. It should arrive thursday or friday.
Bottom line: IMO, Focal price is a lot better, and has higher quality products.

FP's prices are overrated. Both websites have same quality stuff, but Focal price gives you more shipping option while DX gives you only 2 shipping options and only when your order is over $30. DX on the other hand has kinda better customer support, especially Live Chat than FP. I think DX is the best but it's just my opinion since I've been buying more stuff there than FP

true that, but the stuff im looking at are pretty well priced (lighters and smoke accesories) so i think imma go with FP because that 2 month shipping thing is crazy as fuck.

I suggest going with DealiCool. I have made numerous amounts of purchases there and they always come in good condition and always on time.

I have just bought some headphones from spam and they seem cheaper then Focal, lets see how long the shipping takes. Bearing in mind I have chose the free shipping.
