Website for electrical goods?

[travelling-man]

Can someone please direct me to a (preferably in the English language (or should that be langwidge ) website or two that will give me an idea of prices/products for things like washing machines & TVs etc?

moggy666 has given you two,the other major electrical one is Tien21 http://www.oliveirauto.com/v1/pt/

Local retailers are normally very competitive on price, and it's still cheaper for certain things to buy in UK and ship, Amazon for example is free P&P on orders of +£25

Thanks everyone.... I hadn't even thought about ordering or buying from the UK but that might be a good idea.

I'd like to get over there in the Jeep (using the ferry from Spain) so could even drive over and buy everything we'll need, fill the truck up and drive it back to our new home in PT.

We'll probably be in the market for several things such as washing machine, dishwasher & TV etc.

Washing machines, dishwashers here are cold fill if you buy or bring from UK you need to blank hot off.
You won't find it cost effective to drive to UK and back that's really for "must have can't buy here" unless your going to UK for other reasons driving costs this end return around €140 ferry around £712 might be less more out of season, then overnight, eating etc cheaper to buy on line.

I'd only do it if I were going to the UK for other reasons but the Amazon option looks particularly good to me...... I'd have to check the rules to see if it's allowed but we have an Amazon affilliate for our websites so might even be able to buy through there and cop the commission on our own purchases as well.

Hello all,

Curious how do sites like Monoprice ship to Portugal? Do sites like Newegg deliver at fair costs?

Thank You,
Bruce Smith

Just had a quick look on Amazon and suprise surprise they will not deliver a washing machine to Portugal.

Try PIXMANIA Portugal - Loja online. Comprar High tech barato ao melhor preço.

Remember also that certain models although available in the UK may not be that easy to get parts for in Portugal!

My option would be to buy all from a local dealer and negotiate a price. They will very often do a good deal if you buy all your items from them. If bought in POrtugal they will be covered by a 2 year warranty. From the UK normally only one year and then getting anything done under warranty here could pose a problem

Cant say better. You move to Portugal, you live Portugal, then buy Portugal. The small extra cost if any is far outweighed by the lifestyle you have in Portugal and to be honest i have found no difference in price from the UK, if anything its still cheaper than the UK plus the 2 years warranty.
