- $335 on Amazon: amzn.to/3clZg7F
Sometimes, it is totally worth it to shop on Amazon US and ship to Kenya rather than buying locally, example is the Acer Aspire 5 laptop we see here.

For local purchases also note that VAT is usually not included in the prices listed on websites/online. I went to purchase a 27inch 1080P monitor that was listed for 28K. Went to the shop and discovered the actual price was higher by about 5K. With the same amount i decided to buy and ship a 2K Acer monitor directly from Acer. Total cost to NBI was 35K.
I've seen that severally, VAT not included in some of these local sites!
Finally a Kenyan creator making content that actually matter
Thanks bro
Glad its helpful!
I've been thinking, this name sounds familiar. Then I remembered, the best KCSE student in our year, right?!
Good job, man! I've subscribed.
Yeah thats me! Thanks, and welcome!
One man
I usually make sure to time certain events like Black Friday or Prime Day, they can even have 20-30% discounts. By the time the event reaches, I've already compiled a list of items I want to ship using a local shipping agent.
PS : I never include insurance in my shipping, the likelihood of an item being lost in this day & age is almost zero.
That's me too! Gotta score some deals!
As said, heavy items are cheaper bought locally. But light items(phones etc) it's cheaper to import.
True!
Hi Dickenns, I'm finding your content really helpful seeing as to how I'm currently looking for a Laptop from the US mainly coz of variety and the need to get up to date tech. Could you recommend sites you would visit when sourcing for a laptop.
KUDOS !! for the good work BTW
Amazon is good enough, ebay if you don't mind it. You can also check B&H
Thanks!
Started out with the tax video then ali express one n now I'm officially a subscriber 🎉😅
haha, welcome!
The issue many fear is regarding the power/electricity factor for electronics. Most don't understand how to solve the issue. Maybe do a video on that.
For small electronic gadgets like laptops and smartphones, you don't have to worry about power incompatibilities since their chargers are universal. The only issue is with heavy duty stuff like amplifiers (basically anything requiring a lot of power from the outlet).
Using a heavy duty item rated for only 60Hz 120V in a 50Hz-240V region (like Kenya) with a stepdown transformer causes it to run hot due to increased excitation current within its internal circuitry (its transformer core), reducing its efficiency and damaging it sooner. For such items you should buy them from the UK (since it also uses 50Hz power supply).
@@DesmondKarani UK uses 220-240V , same to what we use in Kenya. You can buy from Amazon UK and ship Aquantuo ships from UK.
@@pythonantole9892 Yes, 220-240V with 50Hz frequency as I have indicated.
Noted, very well answered by Karani Desmond
@@DesmondKarani thanks for the info. I didn't know this.
😂😂 Am amazed at how much i reate to this video, I literally look up prices on ebay first before checking local prices. I don't trust local resellers, and their websites makes it even worse
IKR!
Quality video by a kenyan. Endelea na iyo kazi nzuri!
Asante! Will keep on.
Now that the shilling has weakened against the dollar shipping from outside is expensive for now. After a few months laptop shop owners will increase their prices
You'll still save money a looot of money
Its true, but so will be the local prices
@@Dkens true
hello Deckenns, hiyo editing software ni gani? your videos have improved a lot, Bro
Thanks, Davinci resolve
Which is the best time to buy from Amazon at the lowest price ever.? I need a Laptop though at an affordable price from Amazon.
Probably wait for prime day or black friday
Which agent are you using to ship from China
Salihiya
What about the charger ? If you buy fro USA it will come with a usa plug
Yes, mostly, but really an adapter is like KSh 50
Very informative!
Glad you think so!
Why do you think the local PC/laptop market is so poor?
High taxes... And low purchasing power, so not a major market for manufacturers.
@@Dkens always bloody high taxes, dammit.
Hello dickens to ship ur pc components plus the mini itx case how much was it
Been a while, it was around 120k then
@@Dkens which one do you prefer a gaming laptop or a pc n yes it's been a while hi bythaway
How to ship an item from ebay to Kenya.?
Check my shipping videos
Hi Dickens, do you use a ksh or USD debit or credit card?
Ksh..
Dkns, do you buy or import to your clients?
Not at the moment
@@Dkens You need to consider it
Do you feel like ebay is safe?
I've bought severally with no issues, but as always you must do the due diligence
Buy from trusted sellers
Bought a used laptop but on arrival it was barely used(was practically new) for a very decent price. Just read reviews and talk to the seller, that will show you who to avoid.
