I want to get a car DVD player/GPS in the near future.

After looking around a bit I can across this site.

http://www.stopshop.co.za/product.php?id_product=1500

Thing is the price is very low compared to the likes of Kenwood ect and I'm a firm believer in the saying "if something seems to good to be true" ....

Obviously the quality won't be on par with Kenwood ect, but the specs look good.

Any reason I should not consider this one :o
 
Found the catch :D


2. How are goods shipped to me from StopShop.co.za ?

1. All orders as from the 28th April 2009 are shipped and delivered by DHL Express (door to door delivery) for non-bulk orders, other couriers may be used for bulk orders.
2. Orders are shipped directly from the manufacturers that we work with unless otherwise stated in the product description.
3. Insurance (optional): please contact us immediately after placing your order so that we may provide the insurance cost (approx +3%).
4. Customs clearance paperwork and procedures are handled by the courier (DHL). They may need to contact you in certain cases to confirm details of a shipment.


3. How do I receive my order ?

1. DHL requires a signature from the recipient for delivery, this is a fast and secure way to have your products delivered.
2. It is essential that you provide a full, accurate shipping address (physical address), and a valid contact number.
3. If there are Tax/Vat, Import Duties or other Taxes to pay on the goods due to import rules, the courier will present you with a bill at the time of delivery. In general you will need to pay any such bill to the courier before you can receive the goods. Any such charges are your responsibility and unfortunately we cannot offer advice or estimates about import fees or other taxes as these vary, depending on the many different products and import regulations. When creating your account please note that if a business name is used, your business will be billed/charged Tax/Vat, Import Duties etc.., the courier will contact you prior to delivering the goods to advise the total amount which will have to be paid for before receiving the goods.
4. In many cases and depending on import rules, both businesses and private users will be charged and liable for Tax/Vat, Import Duties etc.., these are for your account and not Stop Shop's responsibility.

:(
 
Not really a catch as it it stated clearly. The import duty and VAT is still not that much.

Only problem is that it seems some of these units arrive dead or not completely functional (google it). The real catch is that you have to ship it back to China on your own expense. Was going to get one myself but decided againts is until I can confirm the quality.

Have a look at this shop. More expensive but definitely better quality.

Thanks for the info. I got a quote on the Planetworld one (over R13K), but at that price I'd rather go with the Kenwwood option :)
 
I would recommend that you rather go to a store that specialises in fitting car DVD players, rather than purchasing one online. That way you can see what the unit actually looks like in your vehicle, and check its functionality before you purchase it. Where are you situated?
 
If you are going to a long trip with kids, you may select a car entertainment for your kids. Then your kids can watch the favorite movies with this gadget in your car. And they will never cry in the car, as they were attracted by the movies or the music in the car, sometimes they can even play games with the headrest car DVD. They will be a good partner of your family.

Totally agree with what you have said here, you know I can't live without music, so a good car DVD is essential to my driving life. So I bought a new one for more fun
