We haven't had a delivery test from a Chinese e-shop on our website for a long time, specifically from a Chinese warehouse via the promised duty-free shipping.
Shopping portal Gshopper is one of our long-term partners, and in addition to sharing coupons from this site, we also make regular purchases. We decided to update our article with shopping experiences from this Chinese e-shop.
Updated article December 5, 2023: Our next orders
The excellent news is that on Gshopper duty-free shipping directly from China still works very reliably. And even very quickly. We recently ordered other goods in the form of the Xiaomi Box S 2nd Gen TV box and the more expensive Xiaomi 13T Pro smartphone version 12+256 GB.
Both packages arrived relatively quickly, considering that they were sent from a Chinese warehouse. Gshopper still uses the proven and reliable shipping company YunExpress.
The package with the Xiaomi TV box was delivered to us within 14 calendar days, despite the fact that we ordered on November 10, which is the time of the biggest shopping season, when there is a rush of packages and they are often late.
We ordered the Xiaomi 13T Pro smartphone a little earlier, it was shipped on October 24 and arrived at our home on November 6. According to the 17track tracking system, the delivery only took 12 calendar days!
Both packages were delivered to our home by the SPS courier, of course without any additional payment for customs or VAT. All fees for the customer are handled directly by the seller, or everything is already reflected in the final price.

Order POCO F5 from Gshopper: Our experience
Chinese shopping portal Gshopper in 2023, it not only updated its website, which received a completely new design, but also the shipping methods they offer for the goods sold. We decided to test the promised new shopping experience.
We have selected the latest smartphone POCO F5, which we ordered on June 28, 2023. Two days later, on June 30, we received an email about the shipment of the order along with the tracking number from the YunExpress shipping company.
We were very pleased with this, as YunExpress is also fully used by the best Chinese e-shop TradingShenzhen. We already know from experience that delivery through this company is very fast, reliable and really duty-free.
This is not the case either Gshopper. A package with a smartphone POCO The F5 arrived in 9 calendar days, which is an excellent result considering the journey from faraway China! Delivery in Slovakia is handled by the courier company SPS.
This is not only an excellent delivery time, but also the overall processing of the order. Moreover, considering the price at the moment Gshopper it seems to be one of the stores where we will definitely shop more and more in the coming period. At least as far as Xiaomi smartphones in global versions are concerned, since they are slowly disappearing from the offer of Chinese e-shops.

In addition, our contact from Gshopper provided special discount coupons that trigger prices POCO F5 for record values. They currently have the 8 + 256 GB version in stock, which will cost you a fantastic €320 after applying the coupon in the cart. This is currently the best market offer for this smartphone.

I have a poco f3, should I upgrade to a poco f5? Is there any improvement in photo quality?
Well thank you.
Since the F3 didn't have an extra good camera, the shift in the F5 will definitely be there. At least optical image stabilization, which F3 does not have at all, will do a lot. There is also a significant difference in performance, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 processor has done incredibly well.
I have been waiting for it from DHgate for over 10 days, still proceclsing…. And I'll send it before July 26.7. already at least.
Hello, try to contact the seller directly via chat, there is an option on DHgate. We have never waited so long for an order to be processed. Did your payment go through correctly?
How long is the support for F5 and F5 Pro from Xiaomi? And is it true that OIS does not work in 4K@30Fps and only works in fhd?
They don't mention it on the site yet. We do not know. We will test the OIS, we already have the phone with us.
What about the warranty?
