Thank you for the haul and also taking time to tell us the prices. I stay along Mombasa Road, will always go to Kamukunji. Bought two tier, foldable dish rack at ksh 3,750 and quality is amazing and also bigger than your rack. I wish I was able to the share the photo.
Thanks for loving the video Christine. That's nice. There are so many other affordable places to shop apart from China Square. It's all about the consumer and where your needs are met.
Mega Stores!! All in 🤠. Forget those containerpreneurs. They are not an effecient distribution system. The mega store will reduce the cost of every day household items, giving consumers a break. Kenyans deserve a break. Keep China Square Open and lets have more mega stores all over Kenya.
However, the government plans to increase import taxes, so the prices will soon skyrocket, but in the meantime, it is convenient and has reasonable prices for many consumers in the country.
@@dee6630 Nobody is taking away your rights to citizenship. What we are saying is that there are no “Golden Traders” in this Republic entitled to special protections. This is a free market economy, and you must compete or exit the market. I find your argument without merit. You have no right to demand a special pass to trade in higher prices. That is harmful to the economy. Anyways I am sure you will wise up and figure out how to import with larger volumes, or subsequently lower your margins in order to remain competitive. Bottom line, the Kenyan consumer wins.
Impressive! I'm not so sure if it's a good thing yet! Time will tell. Seeing that our trades are paying a lot of tax! I think they are caught in a catch 22. You really can't sell as cheap as China Square.
It's all hogwash! We just have greedy traders out to make a kill from unsuspecting Kenyans. It was just a matter of time before somebody filled the gap the greed Kenyan traders left
I agree with that too. Time surely does tell. However, the government plans to increase taxes on all imports. Maybe, to wage war on China square or balance out the prices of all imports coming into the country. Let's wait and see how it plays out.
@@beyondboundaries2 this matter is clearly out of your depth. It's impossible for foreigners to buy directly from the manufacturer in china. China square retailing in Kenya creates a very unfavorable business environment for Kenyans.
For clothes, I saw items like raincoats or accessories like bags. For shoes, I saw working shoes only, like factory hard-sole shoes, but not everyday wear. That I didn't see. It's mostly household items, electronics, furniture, and tools for building or farming.
@@olive_nkirote Its just that I live on this other side of town so its far away from me. But i need a car camera holder from there. I saw its 600/- only. I am hoping i don't find it out of stock
Kenyans stop supporting faceless businesses over local small businesses. Support your own that’s how our economy will thrive. The revenues they make from these corporate owned shops will go back to their economies. 🇰🇪🇰🇪
You buy what's cheaper and better quality hauwezi niambia wewe utasema achaninunue kwa mkenya ju yeye nimkenya na unajua poa Kuna mwenye anauza cheaper
Firstly, I don't think just because you've visited China Square, that automatically rules you out as an 'unsupportive' Kenyan. We buy local every other day, but if a shop comes into the country that fulfils my desires as a consumer, I will visit it regardless of who the owner is. It's a game of meeting my consumer needs, and there some China Square does that for them, and there some it doesn't.
What happens to ordinary Kenyan owned small businesses in kamakunji who are selling the exact same goods even often cheaper? Many countries in the developed world protect their small scale business by giving them tax breaks or low interest rate for them to thrive and compete against big businesses so if our government is not doing that we have to support them and also keep in mind this companies specially Chinese owned businesses will not reinvest back their profits in kenya. #supportyourown
Part 2 of China square haul is live. This time, I purchased 2 electronic gadgets - ua-cam.com/video/E2HFJmIDMuE/v-deo.html
Have you checked out China Square? What were your thoughts on the space?🙂
I watched your interview at Shared moments with Justus. Your are highly intelligent. 👏👏
Thank you Margaret.
Great video thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Business owner, I feel some irks about it. Change is inevitable, so we should find means to survive in the market. Thanks for the insight
Absolutely! It causes a shift in the market and the business owner's mindset to adapt and survive. Let's see how it evolves.
@@olive_nkirote m.ua-cam.com/video/pjP9_xGKJ3U/v-deo.html Here it is. China Square will kill local business. Not a good idea

OMG...do you remember the stall because I've been looking for this aki?

Not sure why I laughed about the classes that randomly chill in your house. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Great haul video.
Thanks Bea. Now they have a home at least.
Got very good dog toys,leash,feeding bowl
Yay! Pet stuff prices there is definitely a steal.

Our pleasure! Part 2 is coming up. Also, happy shopping for you!
You got nice and cute staff...china square is becoming my favorite mall now ...
Mine too. I have caused dents in my accounts in the past weeks. I need a China Square detox now!😂😂

They are also kenyans those "containerpreneurs" and need money to feed their families. Lets always be kind.

I got the travel adapter for 800bob ... it's so cheap there.
It is. I saw the 800 bob one as well, but it felt slightly expensive. Is it nice?
Of all the things you got my favourite was that toilet set
That is a top contender. I liked the dish rack too.
I have enjoyed your presentation.. thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Martin. 🙏🏾
My classmate making quality videos !! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Keep it up !
Thanks RF! 😃
Good thing that open china square mall were can buy cheap stuff one place
Yes. It's a one-stop shop for everything.
For what to got in China if it is US How much more would you have paid
I don't know how much the stuff costs in the US, but to know how much I spent in US dollars, convert Ksh to Dollars.
I got my water proof phone case @70/- china square.
Nice. That's a bargain!
I saw them too @70
Got mine in kamukuji for 350
Enyewe china square is affordable
Such a great video! Thanks
Asante. Part 2 is coming right up.
@@olive_nkirote Nice. Waiting
My favorite is definitely the bathroom set!!!
Me too Assu. It's a nice set. I recommend it heavily.

It's nt a cheap place. Nothing compared to prices in Kamukuji.
Give us an example of an item price for comparison.
It all looks so good
Thank you. I love everything I got too.
Great content
Thank you Sassy.
❤❤❤
How is the usage of the products so far? Sustainable?
I genuinely love everything I got. Everything is working fine and of good quality. Personally, no qualms.
It's caa4 not kari4 hope umenipata😂😂 stoopppp
Aiiii, kaari4 sounds better but sawa, caa4 it is.😂
Haujapata jeshi ya githurai ikiita karia4
@@javanmsambaya 😂😂
I went straight to google after this comment. Its ka.ruh.4, r is not silent.
@@javanmsambaya😂😅😂😅
I was there today.Disappointed that they don't sell clothes.
They mainly sell household items. Clothes would not be 'easy' for them. This other stuff is easier for them-no sizes, designs, trends etc.
In the end it's China benefiting since a ready market is available. Do you expect to see a kenya square in China? Not possible.
But you can Kenya square in uganda
There are Kenyan businesses abroad. Follow daring abroad program.
Go and try to establish Kenya square in china and compete. Dont just complain. Which law bars you from setting up a business in China?
@@beyondboundaries2 Absolutely, these are people who just know how to make noise with zero actions.
@@beyondboundaries2 this matter is clearly out of your depth. It's impossible for foreigners to buy directly from the manufacturer in china. China square retailing in Kenya creates a very unfavorable business environment for Kenyans.
We said convenience ,accessibility ....
Yeah. That's what most of us like.
Did they have hardware stuff? Tiles, taps and what not?
I believe I saw taps. Tiles, nope. But they definitely have the tools, and machines/equipment like cutters, grinders etc.
Do they sell clothes and shoes?
For clothes, I saw items like raincoats or accessories like bags. For shoes, I saw working shoes only, like factory hard-sole shoes, but not everyday wear. That I didn't see. It's mostly household items, electronics, furniture, and tools for building or farming.
do they sell boots? High/long boots?
I didn't see shoes, maybe gum-boots for working.
Kenyan proudly glorifying buying Chinese toothpicks cheaply says a lot about us. I don't see anything to smile about
Explain your sentiments further.
Will visit tht place soon
Enjoy your shopping experience!
soap thing🤣 It is called a soap dispenser...great video anyway
Definitely want to go
Pay it a visit, you'll find nice things.
Nice presentation..Do they have fleece blankets?
I did see them, but I didn't check the quality, but definitely go have a look.
@@olive_nkirote Thanks
Number of people,
Not
Amount of people
Rest..😂
I would want to go but I hear it's crowded otherwise I support them being around
I was there last Saturday, 11th March, and it's crowded. Hopefully, the crowds will simmer down.
Does China mall open on Sunday
Yes they do, but I am not sure of the timings.
How much is the tv
Tv? I didn't buy a TV.
Nice
Thanks Whitney!
11:04 I have a same one
The travel adapter? It's a nice one.
Are there beddings
Yes, but the options are not all that great because of the prints and designs, but they are decent. I got 2 of them to hold me down.
Toilet plunger? in a bathroom set?
Bet it's not a plunger... A brush. It's definitely a brush.
I meant toilet brush.
Do they sell tv
I saw some electronics, so probably yes! But I wouldn't recommend you buy heavy electronics from there.
haki i am yet to visit that place
Right now, it's not getting as full as it used to be, so create time over the weekend and go check it out. Then share your experience and thoughts.
@@olive_nkirote Its just that I live on this other side of town so its far away from me. But i need a car camera holder from there. I saw its 600/- only. I am hoping i don't find it out of stock
Do they sell matatus
🤣
Sikuona mimi.

Hahahahah

@@edwinmaywa it’s the right thing to do when you know you are supporting ur fellow Kenyan and you are putting food on his table.
I wish it was as black and white as you think it is.
Do think at it more before you say don't do this.
