dave taylor here and i need a gift from
my son he's turning 21
and i'm kind of tight on funds right now
unfortunately but
i really want to get him a watch so i
thought
let's check out alibaba.com it's one of
the largest ecom sites in the world
and while it might be a little more
focused on business to business
you never know what you can find now i
actually did another video already where
i talked about and gave you a little bit
of a tour of alibaba.com you should
definitely check that out
this time i'm just focused on buying
that watch
so i'm going to give you the chance to
look over my shoulder as i go through
the process
i've already actually done a tiny bit of
homework so this time i'm going to do a
search that's fairly specific i'm
searching for a
water resistant watch and i'm going to
look for
watches from the company ben yar so as
you can see
that doesn't mean i have a small number
this gives me 1164 results
and here's a watch that really catches
my eye so a click
so i can see and most important the
first thing you want to look at on
alibaba
is how many pieces are the minimum order
and in this case it's two
all right i will buy two one of
two different colors so i look at the
different colors i do plus one
plus one and then you can see that i've
qualified for free shipping which is
pretty
sweet actually so i'm going to go ahead
and start my order by clicking on
start order and then it will need me to
enter my shipping address and such in
this case
i already have used alibaba in the past
so that shipping address is already
there
so next step is proceed to pay and you
can use your visa or mastercard if you
want there's a variety of other payment
methods
but i will point out if you have any
concerns about what you're going to be
getting
and the quality of the goods or whether
they'll be delivered
if you use your visa or mastercard you
will be protected by
that card service so i'm going to go
ahead and enter my credit card
information
you don't want to see that so we'll just
jump right on to the next step
now is the last chance to double check
that you got your order right so i'm
double checking here
that i have one watch quantity one
color number two and one of color number
three
and they are the 5151 three atmosphere
water resistant multi-function
chronographs
and it's a dollar ten transaction fee so
for thirty eight dollars and ten cents
i'm going to get two
very nice looking watches shipped to me
all i need to do is click on that pay
now button
and it will process the payment
transaction
still processing the transaction and
it's successfully processed
so if i want i can check my order
details but i think i'm good there
and the gongzhou watches i have lower
down were just another option i was
looking at but those aren't the ones i
want so now
i have to wait for the supplier
to accept the order to ship the order
and then obviously i have to wait for it
to be received
so i'm going to go ahead and stop here
and come back on camera now for the most
exciting part
waiting for the product it generally
takes a couple of weeks
so on alibaba you place your order
and then the merchant has to confirm
that order
then they ship the product and generally
speaking it's going to go on a
ship all the way across the pacific
ocean to go from
asia to north america then it's going to
get on a
truck and that truck will bring it to
colorado my home state
where they'll put it out for delivery to
my home
so i'm expecting it'll take a couple of
weeks but
when that happens i'll be back with
another video and i'll do an
unboxing so you'll get to see exactly
what i received
from that merchant at alibaba.com
and we'll get to check out those two
watches our high hopes are going to be
really cool
so i will look forward to seeing you
[Music]
then

so
you
