Shop details for BuyInCoins

Buyincoins.com is a globally well-known online shop with its headquarters in China. Its office building is in Hong Kong but its warehouse is in Shenzhen - only a river separates these two cities. The popularity of BuyinCoins rose in the last few years and it already has loyal customers in Russia, the United States, Spain and Brazil.

Experience with BuyinCoins.com

BuyinCoins has an alexa ranking of 13.528, meaning its one of the 14.000 most visited websites worldwide. We couldn't resist (actually, we couldn't resist several times...) and placed a few orders to be able to tell you about our experiences and what we learned during our shipping trips.

Payment

We have to mention positively that you can conclude your BuyinCoins order via the PayPal Express-checkout option. You can also go the slower way of standard checkout and still pay with PayPal. Furthermore you get the options to pay with Qiwi (online payment method for Visa) as well as direct payment with Visa or Mastercard. The ordering process is well-arranged and logically structured

Before you log in or register, you get the opportunity to test coupons. In the next ordering step you enter your address and choose your preferred payment and shipping method. This means that placing in orders is possible if you're not fluent or comfortable in English.

Quick checkout option: Paypal Express checkout

Supported Payment Methods

PayPal		Our recommendation: Pay safe and fast with Paypal. Another advantage: its great buyer protection program.
Credit Card		Simply enter your credit card infos and off you go. Just keep in mind that you generally won't get buyer protection this way - so consider paying with your credit card via Paypal.
QIWI		Is generally only interesting for customers from Russia.

Delivery times, tracking and shipping

You get to choose between two shipping methods: the free standard shipping and express shipping. Standard shipping is free and if you order for more than $30 you automatically get a free tracking number. If you're ordering for less than $30 but still wish for a tracking number, you get to add one for $2. For everyone with a bit of patience, the standard shipping should be a great option, depending on the processing of your order and on customs you should receive your order within a month. But if you're in a hurry, you might prefer expedited shipping as it halves your shipping time - your order should be delivered within two weeks.

BuyinCoins and customs

Contrary to other Chinese shops, BuyinCoins is very professional and declares packages very carefully. An unwanted stop at customs should be a very rare sight. Nevertheless, one should be aware that customs does random checks on well-declared packages from China.

Naturally this doesn’t free anyone from the legal 19% import sales tax, which will be raised on any order with a value of 26€ or more. The usual case would be paying the taxes directly to your mailman once the parcel arrives. On rare occasions your local custom office will keep the package and you will have to come pick it up and pay the taxes at their office. Further information is available in our FAQ.

Return Policy

Before you place an order, you should consider this: unpaid orders can be canceled within 72 hours but already paid orders cannot be canceled. When you choose PayPal, your order is instantly paid and you can't stop your order anymore.

If you're missing items or entire orders, you can simply inform the customer support and after a quick investigation they send you a refund or the missing items very fast. Generally, you have to contact the customers support within 7 days after the delivery of your order, if you encounter any kind of problems. If you received wrong or faulty items or are missing products, you can apply for an exchange or refund. If you send pictures or videos as proof, the customer support will solve your problem very quickly.

Specific features

Besides a newsletter with current deals and coupons, BuyinCoins is also running a forum. Sadly, The forum isn't as well arranged as the website or the newsletter, so you should contact customer support via e-mail instead of the forum if you run into any problems or questions.

If you like writing reviews, you can collect "Point Coins". Reviews and recommendations are worth points - for each successful recommendation you receive 0.1 points and for each review + picture 0.2 points. You can exchange your Point Coins for discounts on your next order (1PC = 1US$).
