Das Cheap... anyone ordered anything from them?
« on: August 08, 2011, 03:08:32 pm »
I've been searching for various pc connectors and such for a project I've been working on.  The connectors are super cheap (like 50 cents cheap) but all of the online stores I find want 5-7 bucks shipping.  Dascheap.com apparently has free shipping on most of their stuff but the site looks a bit sketchy .

Does anyone have any experice from their site?

If not does anyone know where I can pc solder type connectors  (D-Sub and HD-Sub) with free shipping?

Thanks

50 cents with free shipping? Looks to me like its well worth a risk.

Nice find. I think its worth a looksee. I'll see if I can build up an order, looks like I can order a few things I need from there.

Navigation is a ---smurfette--- though. I found myself in the wholesale section and it wouldn't let me search another category until I purged the cache.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Yeah, I would've checked this site out a little more if it hadn't have been such a pain in the ass.

Well they've got a little bit of everything.  They even have gamepad extension cables, which is one of the things I was interested in. 

The thing is, I'm thinking of using this site for supplies to build my console adaptor, so my orders aren't going to be tiny.

Not yet, but I'll probably be forced to in the future (due to lack of available extension cables). 

The particular widgets that I wanted were advertised as having free shipping but when I went to checkout it wasn't free.  It was enough of a price difference to make it cheaper somewhere else.
