Q: Which electronics chain store offers the best deals in China?
Is there a major difference in price and quality between stores like Guomei, Suning etc.?
To my general knowledge they would be all the same. It would be better if you go abroad to the electronic stores you can get a much better deal.
Best deals and very good service.
Sangoku:
I agree with you. I often go there to buy electronics or home appliances. Their service is very good, the prices are cheaper than in a normal shop and the delivery is fast.
In my experience, the major chains like Gome, Su Ning, Sun Ding & Wu Xing seem to operate like independent franchises meaning they don't bother to match each others merchandise prices.
When I was shopping for a camera in a small town there were two Su Nings across the street from each other with missmatched prices on the very same model. Then, back in Suzhou the next day, the same chain had the same model priced several hundred rmb cheaper than either of them.
If you're going to shop "brick & morter" stores, be prepared to do some footwork if you don't want to get ripped off.
Even in the same city, the prices between the same branches may vary depending on the promotions offered by the shop or the mall.
All is relevant to the commission that the salesperson will get and how much margin he/she may get by selling the item to you.
