Category: Coupon Codes & Promotions

When you shop with Chinese sites, you should always check out the deals they offer in various forms. Seriously, the specials can help you save a lot sometimes, no matter you are purchasing in bulk for your resell business or just for your personal needs. In addition to the plenty of holiday or event-based sales, the regular promotions featured by different online stores are also worth taking a good look. In particular, the daily deals zones available at some sites often release specials with deep discounts, which last for one day only.

I was long ago impressed by the Daily Madness zone at Milanoo.com, a popular international fashion store based in Chengdu, Sichuan. The site opened that promotional area as soon as it went live. Now after years it is still there. This, based on my experience, proves that the zone works well and has been helping a lot with boosting their revenues. At the same time, I notice that other Chinese sites start to set up the similar promotions one after another, sometimes slightly different in naming, including Today’s Special at Tmart.com, Daily Deals at Focalprice.com, Daily Deals at Dinodirect.com, Daily Deals at Priceangels.com and Today’s Sales at Lightinthebox.com.

Most daily-based deals are available for 24 hours only. But some may last for two days or longer. If you see a daily deal of your interest, you may need to take it quickly otherwise it will be gone soon and won’t come back again. Some sites may put the same product with the same good discounts into the daily sales for the second or even the third times, but it is always hard to say when the product will be offered with the one-day-only discount again. So when you see a deal you want, don’t hesitate to get it. It is never a smart idea to wait the deal to come back again. You can’t afford the time waiting it to re-appear anyway.

Generally, as the deals last for a very short time only, the discounts are very attractive, even greater than those offered for big holiday sales such as Christmas promotions. Besides, free shipping is often honored for daily sales. Comparatively, the products select for such daily sales are quite limited in terms of quantity. As a result it is not easy to find a product you are looking for from the daily specials – if you do find one, you should be really lucky then. Anyway, you are encouraged to check out the daily sales pages of the sites regularly in order to spot the deal you want.

I noticed that Priceangels.com had launched their 2013 Valentine’s Day sale by offering a 10% off coupon on select Valentine’s Day gifts, including cell phones, tablet PCs, intimate stuff, watches & jewelry, consumer electronics, home living products and gift & lifestyle gadgets. The promotional collection has 32 items in total – not a wide collection, but every item looks attractive for gifting.

To enjoy the discount, you just need to input the coupon code “VAL10OFF” at checkout and then you will get 10% off the original price instantly. The sale will last from Feb. 3 through Feb. 14. Note that the Chinese international shipping cab be delayed as the Chinese Spring Festival is approaching so you may need to confirm on the exact delivery time with their service people if you do need the gift for the Valentine’s. Otherwise your plan for a romantic Valentine’s may be ruined because of the delayed gift.

As a young shopping site of electronic gadgets, Tmart.com is not so widely known as the industry leaders like Dealextreme.com, Focalprice.com or Lightinthebox.com. Besides, we see negative reviews against them show up on the Internet from time to time. It is nothing surprising to us, honestly.

Made-in-China electronics are extremely cheap in terms of pricing while their quality standards vary significantly. Many people are disappointed by the gadgets purchased from Chinese suppliers, which are not as solid as they have expected. While consumer electronics are one of the biggest categories in the Chinese foreign trade arena, complaints against this category also rank the highest in terms of quantity. If you feel it is unbelievable, just try researching by searching the web for reviews of some popular Chinese sites that offer electronics, you will agree with me.

As a business with an official license, Tmart has been selling products to global buyers for two years. To be fair, it is not a top name and is far from perfect, but it is truly a legitimate company. If you are looking for low priced gadgets from China, it is worth checking out along with other Chinese online stores of electronics. I always encourage buyers to compare sites as many as possible in order to find the best deals. Of course, if you never purchase from a particular site before, do remember to start with a small order to test the water first. As for Tmart.com, my attitude is the same.

The site carry an amazing selection of products at extremely low prices. Addition to their major category electronics and accessories, they also have health & beauty, toys & hobbies, sports & outdoors, apparel, holiday supplies & gifts and more. They claim the products are offered at manufacturer prices. After comparing some typical electronic gadgets including tablet PCs, flashlights, Bluetooth headphones, wireless optical mouse and a few more available at the site with those for sale at their competing sites, I found that they are not overstating.

Below is a list of coupon codes on select categories issued for their 2nd anniversary promotion. The offers end January 15. If you are interested in any of the offers, you may need to hurry up. To check out the deals, visit the promotional page here.
