    Peeps, I heard that cd-r king is a provider of low cost electronics/IT products. Any feedback on their products, are they worth buying? thanks.

    A lot of their stock of in-house products are Chinese items stencilled with their logo. Like GH says, you're getting what you pay for.

    I still buy all my DVD-Rs there... can't beat the price...

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    same here, I buy my DVD+Rs from them... I just wish the price for dual layer DVDRs get lower faster. The cheapest ones still cost P50 each so it's not yet economical to use dual layer vs regular DVD+Rs yet.

    Tell me about it. Dun din kami kumukuha ng DVD-Rs and CD-Rs for reselling. One thing we noticed though, is that their generic DVD-Rs tend to be way more reliable than their branded ones, particularly iOmega.

    My mom-in-law bought one of their generic mp4 players as a gift to my dad-in-law last year; it's still working. Ditto with the generic speakers my wife bought for her office PC. I'm thinking of getting a 2GB microSD card myself, for my 6300.

    I buy a lot of stuff from them. CDRs, DVDs, sd card, card reader, usb hub, photo paper etc...

    The SD Card is slow. But its so cheap so I can live with it. For some reason it is not compatible with my laptops built in card reader, but it works with both my Xacti and digital cam. Solution, bought a cheap card reader from them.

    The slow SD card isn't really a fault, though... The reason why they're cheap is because they're the basic, lower end of the card models... High speed cards are really expensive, I don't think they'll bother covering those high-end stuff.

    Like the Kingston 2GB CF cards for 1200, that's the standard range, the Kingston Ultimate range goes for about 2800 for the same capacity.

    The items that we bought from them (optical mouse, headphones/microphone, webcam, flash drives, dvd-rs, game controllers, memory cards, memory card readers et al) are still functional. No complaints....

    380 for an xbox replacement controller S... can't beat that, i was so happy when I found it coz it was much better than those china knockoffs in tiangges that cost 700 bucks...

    480 for a BP511 battery pack * 1300mAh is a great deal as well... Compared to Quiapo batteries that are generic as well but costs 700 bucks (let's not even go to OEM prices at over 1K)

    many of their items are branded as well, things like Kingston, PQI etc are renowned reliable brands.

    one of the reasons why CDR-KING items are cheaper is they have basically cut out the "middle man". They source their items from China and sell them in their own outlets. No more needing to market & distribute the items to other retail outlets since CDR KING has reached a certain level of critical mass where it has enough shops to sustain it's own imports and brand specific items.

    CDRKing is a godsend to almost every gadget freak out there... those simple USB hubs, card readers are so cheap (<200) it makes zero sense to get similar products that costs 3x more... Here in SG, there are typical China/Taiwan card readers, USB hubs and other accessories that costs 400-500 bucks, screw that....

    Was in cdrking this afternoon. A lady who said she works in bir was complaining why they don't give official receipts. Claimed that invoice not enough. She left without buying anything.

    Got a laptop cooler. 280 pesos only. Hope it works. If not at least it's cheap enough that it won't matter.

    OO nga naman. Bakit walang OR.

    Tapos san ka nakakita ng tindahan na nagbebenta ng gadgets tapos de calculator at manu mano ang pagsusulat sa invoice ng lahat ng bibilhin mo. Fishy talaga. Kung POS kasi di ba automatic yung tax na makikita ng BIR.

Are Cd-r King products of good quality?....
