I have purchased things from them. I would not use them as a supplier for general things you buy. I would buy only special things that you cannot get here in Canada. For example, I purchased lasers that are tough to get here. Many people have claimed that they did not receive part/all of their orders from time to time; this is entirely plausible. In addition to their unreliability, it will take anywhere from two weeks to two months to receive your order and there is no guarantee that it will all be in working condition by this time. Like you said, it appears that it is mostly low quality crap. From my experience the quality of most items is quite low, however this is justifiable through the price and lack of shipping charges. In summary, purchase knowing that it is not like buying from NCIX where you can complain about them not getting your order out the same day or not having their prices posted correctly. In fact, it may be best to treat dealextreme the same way you would a mail in rebate, although, not one of the good ones like corsair, but instead one from say, a more generic brand (in china lol). Hope this helps.
