Of course, if you don’t think the products or service they provide meet your expectations, go for other sites without hesitation. You know, there are tons of China-based online stores to choose from.

Banggood.com Now Accepts Credit Cards

The Guangzhou-based international online shopping website Banggood.com started to accept Credit Cards as one of their payment options in early February, 2014. Before this new payment method was added, they only accept Paypal, Western Union and Wire Transfer.

More specifically, the credit card types they accept include Visa, Visa Debit, Visa Electron, Visa Delta, Master Card, Debit Master Card, Diners, JCB and Discover. Allowing customers to pay directly via credit cards means this online store is more powerful and usually, more trustworthy. For more details about their payment policies, please click here.

Only trading companies with better capacities dare to use payment methods that are of higher risks to themselves. Paypal protects both buyers and sellers and either side bears 50% risk; Western Union and Wire Transfer are totally safe for suppliers such as Banggood but highly risky for buyers. For this reason, I usually put the two payment methods as the last options while guiding buyers to shopping with Chinese online shops; As for credit cards, I think it is the safest payment option for buyers while it can be quite risky for sellers since buyers can request a chargeback from their credit card companies when they believe that they are ripped off, scammed or have paid for something not worth the dollars.

With credit cards, now Banggood.com has more payment options to choose from and you can use any one at your convenience. It is a legitimate trading company selling varieties of products to buyers all around the world. In recent years, we as a third party have been witnessing its robust growth in terms of product range, service standards and company size. If you ask us to introduce the best Chinese online stores to buy best-valued electronic gadgets or RC toys, Banggood.com is definitely one of our top recommendations.

Review of IK 98005 Men’s Mechanical Wrist Watch from Banggood.com

Be honest, before we received the IK 98005 men’s mechanical wrist watch from Banggood.com as a 2014 New Year gift, we never realized that wearing a watch can be so convenient and cool. More exactly, it is how my husband feels as he becomes the real owner of the gift and has been wearing it for one month plus. In practice, he has got many compliments with that watch.

Every time we get an awesome product, we just can’t help sharing it with friends or relatives around us. As a review website, we are also more than happy to let more people know the outstanding products based on our own knowledge or experience. Just in case you might be also interested in purchasing a quality made-in-China men’s wristwatch, I decide to give a full review of the IK 98005 men’s mechanical wrist watch here.

First, let’s see the basic specifications of the watch:

Item Type: Wrist Watch
Dial Window Material Type: Hardlex Glass
Brand Name: IK
Water Resistance Depth: 50m
Movement: Mechanical Watch
Dial Diameter: About 4.3cm
Dial Thickness: About 1.3cm
Clasp Type: Needle Buckle Clasp
Color: Black
Style: Fashion & Casual
Gender: Men
Dial Display: Analog
Feature: Waterproof, Calendar, Week Mode,12/24 Hour Display
Case Shape: Round
Pattern: Skeleton
Model Number: 98005

Note: the specifications are excerpted from the product description page of the official website of Banggood.com (read review of the website).

According to the user experience of my husband, the time of this watch has been running accurately after he set it according to the correct official local time to start using it. Besides, it is 100% waterproof as it is described – he never takes it off even when he is washing hands or taking a bath but the watch stays perfectly the same as before without any moisture problems. The leather-made strap of the watch looked a little stiff when he opened the package and he was worried that it might be uncomfortable wearing it. However, after wearing it for several days, he became totally used to it and the strap was getting softer and softer. “Now I even always forget that I am wearing a watch on my wrist”, he often says.

As a tradition, during the Chinese New Year holiday, people from all walks of life go back home for a family reunion no matter how far away they are living from their parents.
