I bought this watch on AliExpress from China at about $4. The other charges came to about $3.75, and finally I had to pay Kshs. 100 pale Posta GPO for the parcel. So in short, from China to my wrist, this watch cost me Kshs.875. I later on went to shops along Moi Avenue inquiring on how much such a watch would retail at, and the price was constantly in the range of Kshs. 2,500 - 3000/. The watch is as exactly as it was in the internet. Am satisfied. And the process was very very easy. You just register with Mpost and create your own address number that uses your phone number as your address in the Private Bag. You make payments on Mpesa to AliExpress, and proceed to wait for your product. With the app, you can track your property as it comes. It took about 40 days, though. Thats the downside[ATTACH=full]239600[/ATTACH]. Once your stuff arrives at posta, you are notified via text to go and pick it. Its that simple.
i normally go for the free option (this is Kenya:D) but based on what you’re buying. since i buy mostly car parts, maybe it’s different from watches and other goods.
