JD, a very large eCommerce site in Asia, is offering a bunch of items for 5c each. Starts at 8PM.
e.g. MEMTEQ Wireless Mini Bluetooth Optical-Gaming-Mouse
Their site is getting hammered thanks to OzBargain. Register for an account using this link as I couldn't get the normal link to work.
You can search all of the promotional items by searching for "JD555", or clicking here.
I hope so. :) I'm aiming for the headset.
Im getting 3 headsets if poss
Anyone wanting anything better be damn quick, I remember there was a similar sale on Ali, and the stuff literally lasted seconds.
I attempted to order with 3 different items in my cart and there was a $10(max) discount applied, so then put in 3 orders of 1 item each at 5c successfully. Code no longer works for me, presumably because I brought 3 items now.
It's maximum of 3 items, one at a time, so that's why :).
sweet, got 3 things for 5cents, 1 at a time
Sweet 2 hoodies and a router, 15c.
By the way, anyone wanting to have a referral code, there is a wiki page over on OzBargain for them. Each get $10.
Can't register, the phone verification code isn't getting through.
Never mind, saw the link at the post.
Maybe try a few times, it might be jammed up. Mine came through straight away.
Got registered thanks to neil's link, now I got a few things for next to nothing lol.
I've read about JD in the financial papers, but I didn't know they actually ship internationally. FYI they're one of the biggest E-commerce sites in China focusing on genuine Western-branded goods
This is just one hell of a deal. Got a bunch of xmas lights, forgot the electricity requirements eeeeeeek. Only 15c wont cry to Santa.
Can people register multiple accounts, or is that a big booboo?
I think you can, I placed an order with another account under my partner's name (with a slight variation of the same address) and used my other Visa debit card. (via Paypal's "pay with other credit card" function) The sale went through successfully.
Does anyone know if the promotional products rotate or are there more hidden ones beyond the page?
Type "JD555" in the search box to find all items that are on promotion. Source
i used a different account with incognito for my wife and it worked using the same paypal account
Also, if anyone registered using a referral link/code, choose a $10.05 item, and you can apply the $10 credit to that too, meaning you can get another 5c item or so.
This only works if you don't get stuck in the SMS registration process, which I did. IIRC if you use Neil's link to register there won't be an option to add a referral code.
Yea, correct, I got the SMS this time and registered no worries, but some aren't getting it. It's a plan b anyway.
I got six items, two logins
Do I need a USB chargeable electric shaver? No but why not for 8 cents
Now getting "There was an error loading your order! Please fresh the page!" at checkout so cannot use the code.
Same for me!
It looks like they're having major technical difficulties - I got this error message as well, tried about 20 times and the coupon got through - only for the site to break at the payment stage.
Try going to your orders page and paying that way.
@Nongin: I managed to get two item. But it wouldn't let me apply for third item after failed payment processing transfer after pressing submit order :(
Mum had that problem too, but it went through now. Remember there are 5 days to make payment, so maybe try again.
@Shaw: oh it didn't get through that stage. They counted my use of JD555 for the failed order submission.
@Shaw: Just did, came up with the same error: "Sorry, the order can not be submitted, please try again later. If you need further help, please contact [email protected]." :/
That's weird, no idea though, maybe could try a different browser if it's something you really want. Most of the stuff left is pretty junky from what I saw though.
Trying to find a way to use my 5 $10 coupons lol
will this stuff turn up??
It should, but it will take a long time, as expected though.
Shipping times are huge on some items - 39 days for lights. Hoping before xmas. If they never turn up will be a pain but can live with blowing 15c on whether this works or not.
Thats a pretty normal shipping time when buying stuff from China on eBay; if you're lucky its 2 weeks, but its often 4-6 weeks. ETA: and at this time of year i'd be expecting 6 weeks+.
Interestingly, this morning ive tried the code on several items from the JD555 search and any that are over $10Us are only taking off $10 and leaving $2.25 or whatever (yes im trying only one item at a time in my cart), anyone else having thing? ETA: just bought an $9.05US item and the code did take it down to .5cUS.
Another update: added a $9.68 item to my cart and applied JD555 code and it only took it down to .68c, removed item from cart, looked at some other stuff, re-added item to card and tried code again and this time it took it down to .5c .. so the moral of the story is keep trying lol? Items over $10.05 are still only taking $10 off which often leaves $2-6 in stead of .5c, still not sure whats going on there.
Same as I mentioned below, I think it's a stock level thing, where only so many of an item will be sold at 5c.
The items over 10 say coupon only removes 8-10$ off. So working properly.
Yup but last night items over $10 were dropping to .5c with the coupon so just letting people know that it is now 8-10 off, not down to .5c of all JD555 items.
I think it's a stock level thing, I noticed some doing it last night as well.
Really want that 32GB flash drive but of all the items only this one keeps saying "Sorry, the selected destination can't be shipped to, please change your destination" :(
There seemed to be quite a few of them, but they were mostly unavailable pretty quick, seemed to be one of the more popular options.
They're unavailable because JD has some products that are exclusive to the Russian market. (e.g. Stock in a warehouse next to the Russian border)
JD's website doesn't make it clear however, sometimes when you click a product link you get sent to a page in Russian.
Yea, I noticed a few Russian pages, strange way to setup a site/store..
@Shaw: I think this is actually their first time selling to an international market. JD is quite well known within China but not elsewhere.
Got my first item, a bluetooth mouse. :)
Sweet, can't complain for that price with fast shipping aye!
Holy shit guys, stuff actually turned up and QUICKLY!!!!
Checked the 2 accounts we ordered from.
1st account 1/3 shipped(laser pointer, 2 other items)
2nd account 3/3 shipped(screw driver set, bluetooth earphones, usb electric shaver)
So pretty promising, missed a nzpost delivery so will have to see what they are holding for us tomorrow.
Got my 1st package today of the laser pointers(4 for 5c), nothing else yet.

Three of my parcels have arrived, 6 to go!
Got my bluetooth ear phones today. seem to work ok
4/6 received so far.
Laser Pointer(4 different pointers/heads) 1/4 was decent the others were average/poor
Bluetooth portable speaker is really great quality, easily a $10-20 item here
Bluedio Bluetooth earphones are ok, does it job
USB charged electric shaver is fantastic build quality, 8cents for a portable one that would cost $50+ if it was phillips etc
Still waiting on a USB mouse and screwdriver set
5/6 items turned up. Clothing was good, bluetooth speaker great quality, bracelet as expected (they sent two). Just waiting on a knockoff ipod. Didn't really expect anything to turn up. Wish I brought more!
anybody order the MFI iphone charger (the threaded one) and have it arrive?

Do the 'unavailable' items listed become available when the sale starts?
