I need a birthday present for my son, so I'm gonna get it from Alibaba.com. Let's check it out
0:13
Dave Taylor here, and I need a gift from my son. He's turning 21
0:17
and I'm kind of tight on funds right now, unfortunately. But I really want to get him
0:22
a watch. So I thought, let's check out Alibaba.com. It's one of the largest e-comm sites in the world
0:29
And while it might be a little more focused on business to business
0:32
you never know what you can find. Now, I actually did another video already where I talked about
0:38
and gave you a little bit of a tour of Alibaba.com. You should definitely check that out
0:42
This time, I'm just focused on buying that watch. So I'm going to give you the chance to look over
0:48
my shoulder as I go through the process. I've already actually done a tiny bit of homework
0:52
So this time, I'm going to do a search that's fairly specific. I'm searching for a water
0:57
resistant watch, and I'm going to look for watches from the company Benyar. So as you can see
1:04
that doesn't mean I have a small number. This gives me 1,164 results. And here's a watch that
1:11
really catches my eye. So a click, so I can see. And most important, the first thing you want to
1:17
look at on Alibaba is how many pieces are the minimum order. And in this case, it's two. All
1:22
right. I will buy two, one of two different colors. So I look at the different colors. I do
1:28
plus one, plus one. And then you can see that I've qualified for free shipping, which is pretty sweet
1:35
actually. So I'm going to go ahead and start my order by clicking on start order. And then it
1:41
will need me to enter my shipping address and such. In this case, I already have used Alibaba
1:47
in the past. So that shipping address is already there. So next step is proceed to pay, and you can
1:54
use your visa or MasterCard if you want. There's a variety of other payment methods, but I will
1:59
point out if you have any concerns about what you're going to be getting and the quality of
2:04
the goods or whether they'll be delivered, if you use your visa or MasterCard, you will be protected
2:10
by that card service. So I'm going to go ahead and enter my credit card information. You don't
2:16
want to see that. So we'll just jump right on to the next step. Now's the last chance to double
2:20
check that you got your order right. So I'm double checking here that I have one watch, quantity one
2:27
color number two, and one of color number three. And they are the 5151 3 Atmosphere water-resistant
2:35
multifunction chronographs. And it's a $1.10 transaction fee. So for $38.10, I'm going to get
2:43
two very nice looking watches shipped to me. All I need to do is click on that pay now button
2:49
and it will process the payment transaction. Still processing the transaction, and it's successfully processed
3:03
So if I want, I can check my order details, but I think I'm good there. And the Gongzhou
3:10
watches I have lower down were just another option I was looking at, but those aren't the ones I want
3:16
So now I have to wait for the supplier to accept the order, to ship the order, and then obviously
3:25
I have to wait for it to be received. So I'm going to go ahead and stop here and come back on camera
3:32
Now for the most exciting part, waiting for the product. It generally takes a couple of weeks
3:37
So on Alibaba, you place your order, and then the merchant has to confirm that order
3:44
Then they ship the product. And generally speaking, it's going to go on a ship all the way
3:48
across the Pacific Ocean to go from Asia to North America. Then it's going to get on a truck, and
3:55
that truck will bring it to Colorado, my home state, where they'll put it out for delivery to
4:01
my home. So I'm expecting it'll take a couple of weeks. But when that happens, I'll be back with
4:07
another video, and I'll do an unboxing. So you'll get to see exactly what I received from that
4:13
merchant at Alibaba.com, and we'll get to check out those two watches. I have high hopes they're
4:18
going to be really cool. So I will look forward to seeing you then
