Kimstore!

It all started when I purchased a few new CDs recently. I was trying to add my newly purchased music to my iPod but as I tried syncing it with my iTunes, I got an error message saying that my iPod didn't have enough space anymore. Argh. I knew that I would be buying more CDs so having a full iPod was not an option. Clearly, it was time to get a new iPod that had more space so I went online and discovered that there is a 64-Gb iPod Touch. I quickly went to the nearest Apple store to check the price and as it turns out, the iPod I want was a whopping P21,990. I decided to sit on it for a while and maybe make the purchase when I was comfortable parting with that much money.

Then I was at work and somehow, the topic of my plans to purchase an iPod Touch came up. As I lamented to my teammates the cost of that gadget, they immediately told me to check Kimstore on facebook. Apparently, Kimstore sells a lot of electronic devices at very low prices. I decided to check their facebook page and I was pleasantly shocked when I saw the pricelist. They were actually offering the 5th gen 64-Gb iPod Touch at P16,000. That would mean almost P6,000 savings! My teammates told me that Kimstore was a Go Negosyo Awardee so there was no need to worry about the quality or authenticity of their products.

So I decided texted the number provided on their facebook page to ask about the iPod touch I wanted and while I thought that P16,000 was low enough, when I got a text reply, I was told that the black 64-Gb unit actually costs P14,000. Wow, even more savings!! I place my order and schedule a pick-up date and time.

As indicated on their facebook page, "Kimstore offers the latest gadgets online at affordable prices, and they're all brand new, original and in complete packaging (with freebies, sometimes!) And with a Go Negosyo badge of trust, you are assured of great customer service." True enough, my iPod Touch was brand new in its complete original packaging. I was also given an official receipt for my purchase. My new iPod is also working well in its first few days of use. I honestly don't know how they bring their prices down. I remember having a conversation with my friends about it and everyone was trying to figure out how Kimstore can manage to sell their products at such low and (relatively) affordable prices. I guess this trade secret makes them a top online business that has now been liked by close to 150,000 people.

When I made my purchase, I went to a pick-up point in Arnaiz Street but I think you can work out a different pick-up point that is more convenient for you. I was told I had to pay in cash (although you may want to reconfirm this if you want to use a credit card) but it is definitely worth paying cash when it means you get P8,000 savings. So if you are planning to purchase any electronic devices such as Apple products, phones, or cameras, I strongly recommend checking Kimstore out. If they are carrying the gadget you plan to buy, then odds are they are offering the lowest price.
