Dealextreme review
If you can check the ranking of DX in Alexa.com you can see that their ranking is much higher that LightintheBox or in any other China Wholesalers. Even though Dealextreme is not paying to much to Google to have a good traffic for their site, meaning lots of old and new visitors a coming back to this website even without using the search engines.

Some of the new wholesalers are adopting this kind of platform they are also offering a wide-site free shipping method. For example: Focalprice.com, Dinodirect.com, Bestofferbuy.com and Chinabuye.com.
1) Pros and Cons:
Pros:
Site-wide free shipping
Cheap prices (if you know what to look for)
Accepts Paypal payments
Wholesale prices are available. (+3 items are consider bulk order)
Cons:
It took a month for the package to arrive. Sometimes more than that.
Not advisable for a dropshipping business.
2) Personal Experience
My first order in Dealextreme is just for a trial test of their service I order 3pcs of Bluetooth Adaptor costing $1.85 each and a Windproof Butane Lighter, I aware about the delivery time of my order so I wait. They send me an email telling that my order will arrive 10-20 working days. There is no problem with my part so I patiently wait for my Items to arrived I just assumed that this estimate is only applicable in some nearby country or in the United states and for my order maybe it will take much long because I’m here in Saudi Arabia. In my surprise the items cam much earlier than I expected, actually it only take 8 days since that notice. My item was packed with bubble wrap and the order is declared as a gift, possibly to stay away from extra custom charges. When I open my package there is a letter saying that my second order is not available and they will send it once the item becomes available. Meaning another fee to be paid at the Saudi post office. After a few weeks when I check again to my order has arrived. Even though this happens, I was pleased with their service, atleast they a decent enough to send my package.
