As we all know, electronics product in the United States is most of the time expensive. However, many online stores outside our country offer these electronic products at lower prices. Not to mention that majority of them provide free shipment for international buyers such as ourselves!
Here below, I will list eight ways that can help us save money when buying electronics products from overseas:
1. Compare Prices Before Buying
Be smart and always compare prices before purchasing! You can even ask some friends to buy for you if they travel overseas. There’s nothing wrong with that!
2. Buy in Bulk
If you can find an online store that offers free shipment for international buyers AND sells the bulk unit, buys it straight away without thinking too much! The more you buy, the cheaper it is. However, do not forget to compare prices again before buying them because some stores may give us a better offer than others.
3. For Large Purchases
Some banks allow their customers to purchase products from outside the country without paying any shipping charges by purchasing the product DIRECTLY FROM THEIR WEBSITE (not through a third party website) or through getting it done through their representative.
4. Utilize Local Company
For items that are much more valuable than the free shipment threshold limit, it is safe to use our own local company for courier service despite the extra charges we incur.
5. Keep Receipts or Pictures of Purchased Items
If you buy a very valuable item and want any future warranty claims, keep the receipt or take a picture of the purchased items lest it gets lost in transit!
6. Join Online Groups
Of course, there’s always an online group willing to help people purchase overseas electronics products at lower prices! However, please be vigilant when joining these groups because not everyone who asks you to make payment is a good trader!
7. Make Use of Discount Coupons
If you buy from Amazon or Aliexpress, don’t forget to use discount coupons to shave off a few money from your purchase! This way, it is possible to save up some extra bucks.
8. Ask Friends and Family
There is bound to be someone going overseas soon, so why not ask them if they can get the product for you? The price will be lower than using an international courier service, but the only inconvenience here would be waiting…
So what do you think about this article? I had given information here as accurately as possible because I had personally used all these methods before and managed to save quite a bit of money from doing so. The only downside is the waiting time for delivery! I hope you find this article helpful, and please share it with your friends too! Thank You.
