Legit Online Store, Definitely Not a Scam Website
Cheap Jewelry Wholesaler is an online store based in China and they sell wholesale fashion accessories and apparel. I ordered items from them a few months ago and I’m sharing with you my online shopping experience. I’ll get straight to the facts, no storytelling whatsoever.
Oh the cheap thrills. The more you buy, the more discount you’ll get. Minimum purchase is USD $100. You can pay through your credit card or PayPal.
In order to purchase, you have to register. After you’ve confirmed your orders, you have to wait 3 days for an email from them containing the products’ list. If you’ve chosen an item which is out of stock, you have to choose another item to replace that and let them know right away. The email convo took us 2 days.
One more thing, you have to bear with badly written English. But they’ve answered all my questions and they’ve been very helpful so it’s all right.
I tracked my package at DHL‘s website. It arrived 3 days later after I sent my final orders. The whole wait is 7 days, not bad. You think [I thought] I saved a few bucks? The delivery costed me USD $50, and Php 2,000+ (USD $48+) for the Bureau of Customs.
Quality ranges from average to poor. Just what would you expect from a one to two-dollar item. I got a few great finds though.
These next photos are disappointing. Sample photos on their website are flawless but these..
Anyway, I took the risk and had no regrets. I put the fashion accessories to good use instead – sold some online, gave some to my sister and my cousins, and the remaining pieces went straight to my stash.

Amethystine, sa akin 4.2kg lang. tapos ang binayaran ko sa shipping ai $30.20. sayo ba magkano binayaran mo sa shipping?
Hi! It’s mentioned in my post – USD $50, and Php 2,000+ (USD $48+)
hello Amethystine, oo DHL ang pacage ko. same sa inyo $100 then lahat items ko. im happy nga na buksan ko tong site mo. phew! na stress nga ako ung nalaman ko may extra payment pa pala.
how much exactly ang nabayaran nyo extra besides $100 and the shipping?
hello po, just now lang po binigay na nila yung tracking no. nag order po ako sa kanila kahapon. kapag dumating nayun mai babayran pa bang iba?
Hi Ganja! Through DHL ba yung package mo? Kasi sabi sakin nung taga-DHL, may binayaran silang fee sa customs and they won’t give you the package kapag hindi mo sila binayaran. So yes, may babayaran ka pa.
Ano po ba yung declared na value ng goods? ang alam ko pwedeng ideclare ng mas mababa para di maharang ng customs. Example worth $100 yung items mo, pwedeng ideclare ng $50. At siguro medyo mabigat ung mga inorder mo kaya hinarang ($50 worth of delivery? By DHL? more than 5 kilos siguro yan).
Hi! It’s not 5 kilos naman, and I have no idea about the declared value once the package is through DHL. Nagulat na lang ako kasi they told me na may binayaran sila sa customs, and I need to pay them back to get my package. They have the receipt naman coming from the customs.
Pero ok naman siya? hindi naman po siya mukhang nabibili sa divisoria? gusto ko po sana. yung hindi iisipin po nung buyer na mahahanap niya din sa divisoria yung mga accessories po. something worth it at quality ng products po.
salamat ng marami! 🙂
So what do you think? Its ok to buy na? Natatakot kasi ako e. First time ko mag business. Ayaw ko masayang naman yung capital ko. Help me naman po 🙂
Hi Joyce! If you think the extra costs are worth it, go ahead. It’s up to you.
tnaks for sharing..plan ko din po kasi tlga mgbuy here.. kaso un nga sa customs ang prob me.. mejo mlaki un 2k + shipping & ung min na $100. in total, how much po ngastos nyu? sa dhl?
100 USD + shipping + more or less 3k. 🙂
Oh thank you for the review! i am really planning to buy those items online but I immediately think kasi akala ko yun na pala yung babayaran yun pala meron pa mga taxes at charges sa customs so mas mapapamahal ka pa. parang much better sa divisoria ka na lang yata bumili for business. they look good to be true kaya halos nacoconvince na ako bumili eh.
Items are actually good, hassle lang talaga yung shipping fee at yung fee sa customs.
Thanks for this entry! I’m researching about this seller.
Hinarang po ng customs yung package nyo?
Hi tintin! Hindi naman, pero the delivery guy said that i should pay 2k+ kasi yun daw yung binayaran nila sa customs..
