    Directbuyhk.com - is it reliable?

    Hi all,
    I've just searched on the forum but with threads dating back to 2012. Does anyone use the above site to buy things and is it a bit like Amazon, i.e. fulfilled by other sellers? And is there any kind of guarantee once you've paid for the item?

    I've just a Nintendo switch game on there, which is sold out at Fortress, Broadway & it says not only is it in stock but $20 cheaper. And other online stores seem to be out of stock or selling at a mark-up. Thanks

    For sake of sanity, pay the premium locally. Global logistics are a mess right now.

    I'd find a way to message them and ask them if you can do a cash pick up.

    direct buy hk is a distributor ( they distributor products to shops and occasionally distribute limited published materials such a re-released rare retro games unlicenced as there is no rights for snes nowadays) but it does sell to the public, they are reliable and they have actually have physical shop, you can even whatsapp for confirmation of stock, price wise, they can be sometimes cheaper than most stores.

    address is 187 fuk wah st, whatsapp number, probably best to use chinese 9284 1874 email: you can try english ,

    this is one of those rare game released and apparantly published by them.

    also your switch game, try carosell, they are some shops within carosel, some are decent some are crap
