GrossoShop is a canthedate to soon become one of the best sites to buy Chinese smartphones, thanks to the presence of warehouses in Europe from which you can ship products without paying any customs fees. The site has not been included in the section of sellers without customs because in its conthetions of use it also signals the presence of shipment from China, so availability in a European warehouse may not always be guaranteed.

AliExpress
Finally, among the Chinese smartphone sites we find AliExpress, or the international version of the AliBaba site, which sells any Chinese product at very low prices, a sort of Chinese Ebay but less protected. Sincerely we insert this site but with many reservations and we do not feel to recommend it for some problems in some trades and for problems sometimes with technical support, this is a strictly personal opinion, we do not say that all sales go like this, but it is good to give also our opinion. Here you can find Chinese smartphones and tablets and spare accessories (inclutheng glasses, screens and frames). The sales system is based on feedback, it is better to focus immediately on sellers with a high number of positive feedbacks to avoid scams and scams. In any case, AliExpress boasts a good refund and return system in case of problems. Shipments are entrusted to international couriers since the products all come from China and customs duties may be required to be paid, especially if the expentheture exceeds € 50.
Unfortunately, the site does not support PayPal, which would have been very useful in case of problems with the buyer, so to purchase you will need to have a credit card or a prepaid card with support for international circuits (VISA and MasterCard).
