It seems that the owner is following up your comments and has changed the design after one of you has described it as CRAP, although I don’t see that it was bad to that extend. I liked the current design, its easy to navigate and the white colour is helping to focus on the items rather than the design. Regarding the prices, I don’t see that they are too expensive as some of you have stated, they are similar to the market prices, in addition to the advantage that they deliver to you wherever you are, without specifying any area, which makes the shopping more comfort, easy and fast, comparing to the time & effort you spend in roaming around in the shops specially during the traffic. I have ordered Targus notebook bag & mouse by few clicks and it was delivered in less than 24 hrs with FREE of charge.. Can you imagine?!! what a super delivery service. I advice you to visit it again and comment after experiencing their FAST & FREE delivery service. Also, It seems that new items are being added everyday, which means that it’s being improved by time. Don’t forget that its new site and it needs time to settle up according to the market / customer needs & wants. Do you think that it’s an easy job?!!! In my opinion, we have to provide them with ideas & ways to help them in improving & developing it, since at the end it’s for our benefit to have such a site; special for Kuwaiti market.

You need to check the price of the iomega portable 250 GB in Hawally before making making a claim that this website is ripping ppl off. If the Iomega Portable HDD is selling for eg. KD. 38.250 at Hawally and this website is selling it for 39.250, I think its still reasonable, bcos they are providing you with a home delivery service which Hawally is not providing you. to love2bnice,

KNET payment method available and also they delivered the order in less than 12 hours For over a month i was trying to order from macbigstore, it’s a really awful site with an very awful delivery service. i ordered linksys wag200g 3 times and everytime they do cancel my order without a reason, without giving a cool.

They only work for large and global markets. They will face the same fate as others who tried it. To be able to sell cheap online you have to buy huge inventories to get big discounts and you have to let people that you are here. I am surprised that these sites don't even take the effort to place ads in billboards at least in Kuwait! Beside, most internet users in kuwait don't trust online vendors and never use their credit card numbers online. These type of websites will never work in Kuwait.
