Bitcoin Forum

As the title says, i tried using purse.io but mostly likely is either shipping costing 30 dollars more or not able to ship to asia. I went digging around the forum and google. But all i find was prices that was higher than amazon or doesn't  ship to asia again. Anyone got any recommendation for me? Trying to buy Pc Parts/ Electronics. If things does not work out i will just try to buy with purse.io with 30 dollars extra.

Note: Location is at South-east Asia.

Thanks for the help!

I think you must be specific on what country you are living in South East Asia. Because there are only few pc parts store are allowing or doing some shipping service. As we know that PC parts are volatile and must be treated handled with care but with shipping there are chances that it may be broken easily.

I'm located at Singapore. Does any shop even ship to Singapore other than amazon and eBay or some shops that is slightly higher price and need delivery fee of course. Kinda stuck over here finding shops. Thanks tho.

It is hard to find a shop which willing to ship to our countries with a cheap price. I am living in south east asia too. Our countries are not as develop as  some other country so that 30$ is a high price for us to pay. Actually, in these developing coutry, 30$ is a cheap which most of people can buy it. I think, the best way to pay for your computer parts right now is to convert your bitcoin to FIAT money and buy them

Just using a local store? However for you try in the Alibaba's shop? I think buying from the local store is already accepting shipping to the foreign. but you need for reading the shipping coverage of the online shops before.

Alibaba is a good source but they are selling by bulk and they offer big discounts for this,try Alibaba hongkong based online shop also offer free shipment like focalprice I've tried their service and they do offer free shipment but I'm not sure if they have the pc parts that you want sent.

well using local store is a good way, but sometime the stuff that we need to buy is not exist or different, i am looking for online shop that shipping cost is cheap or maybe free, do you ever use aliaba's service? is alibaba's shipping cost completely free ? or only for some countries? anyway i live in south east asia, Thanks in advance.

The best Idea I can give you is just Exchange some of your bitcoin. convert them into your local currency and buy any PC part in your city's any computer shop.

you may need to pay some transaction and some exchange fee for converting your bitcoin. but it will reducet lots of your time and lots of your money also. buying something from an online marketplace, and shipping that to International cast you even lot more.

take advantage of the weak pound? you have to call them to get a quote for shipping out of Europe though. these guys are competitively priced usually and they take bitcoin.

but unless these are parts you can't buy anywhere locally I don't understand why you'd want to pay with bitcoin. it's gonna cost more and take much longer to get them.

If the total amount in usd is not very large I would suggest you to pay with a bitcoin debit card (likely the virtual one), so you could pay locally or in a near country and it could cost cheaper (normally).

Sad to say but i tried but vcc needs to be 18+(I am not 18+. Do not judge please.). But thanks for the help.


For Alibaba, i am scared of buying not genuine electronics or getting scammed. Not say that every product on there is not legit but i want to play it safe. Then it might take quite a longer time. Thanks for your help!

Why don't you use Shopawl for your needs? It is a service which offers unrestricted shopping from Aliexpress, Banggood and more recently eBay.
All you need to do is pick an item of your choice from these shops, paste it on Shopawl's site and pay for it with BTC or ETH.

It is a good option but the fact is that most of the time they do not have the actual good items you mostly need.
I think that maybe Taobao can be something for you honestly.

It is hard to find a company that accept bitcooin and will ship your goods at 30 USD especially when you are in South East Asia.  Most of the company that accept bitcoin are from US or Europe.  It is very seldom to see a company from South East Asia are since SEA bicoin community is not that big as the other region.  I am having a hard time to search it too.

Correct, we would really have a hard time  to consider these things because  bitcoin adoption is not  fully widespread  throughout each countries  thats why we could  not directly use  our  bitcoin at all. As  he suggested   we exchange  our bitcoins to fiat as of  now   in able to  purchase your desired  pc parts  locally.

I can suggest that you may register online at paypal for the purpose of buying PC parts online and use your atm account for purchase locally on your City.
You can also use your bitcoin to paid out to your atm account # so that you can cash-out it anytime..
You now have the best options to do at the very comfort of yours, saving time and to avoid conflicts of schedules.

As you mentioned  there are  really lots  of  possible  ways that you could   able to  buy a certain  thing without any hassle but  OP wants to purchase   pc parts  with the use  of bitcoin  but  unfortunately   purchasing  pc parts  online  with the  use  of bitcoin is  somehow  unsafe and you would surely  add  up some expenses  regarding  on the shipment fee better  to  buy on stores  near you.

I think you have difficult in finding a cheap service, why dont you convert your bitcoins into FIAT and get the PC spare parts from your local shop. I guess in every country shops are available for PC spare parts and you should save 30 Dollars  ;)

Cool but it's kinda of risky as my parents brought stuff from aliexpress and not generic products got shipped to my parents. So I don't kinda trust aliexpress. But thanks for your recommendation and your help!

I cannot have a paypal account because I am under 18. As well as the atm part, and parents do not want me to have such things at a young age. Hence i am stuck in this situation. I need to wait a few years for me to use paypal. But thanks for your suggestion and help.

I don't know any site that could do that, but you always can try to find what you need on amazon and then buy it via purse.io, i am sure that it will send to you

This is probably the only solid option. I know newegg accept bitcoin but shipping may be a problem. And when it comes to pc parts you need something new with guarantee.
Else you could use this forum to find your pc parts second hand with a second hand price.

I guess for buying electronic goods from the foreign and shipping from out of your country, and that is so risky, because the electronics products are including a weakness stuff, but we need to know about where you from and actually can give the best answer for that.

If you could actually  bought a certain stuff on your  country then  its better to  buy them  locally rather  than  bothering yourself  to  buy on far places  because  its all the same in the terms of expenses because   you would surely  add  up   on shipment fee and customs  tax and  even  more .

Well why not just sell your bitcoins and convert it to fiat then go visit the nearest computer parts shop. Because I think there are no shop that are doing this kind of transaction to ship computer parts all over the Asia as the parts of computer are very volatile so whenever that is going to be moved a little bit like hard disk, it will be destroyed.

If they are finding it difficult to purchase the spare parts, let them try using purse.io in case the products are not listed there, they can contact the admin directly and they will be very happy to assist by arranging required products by any means. I had many similar experience with them. Nice services, highly recommended.
