Found out about it two days ago! Seems it’s better to order in bulk

Mark hope you enjoy eradicating those pesky houseflies. We are overwhelmed by the traffic generated by your post which caused our site to crash (as you mentioned being in Beta stage we learn a thing everyday). Our team is working on the issue and will resolve it very soon. Thank you for using Mrbabu

LOL nice name. Definitely want to try it out as soon as the issue is resolved.

Babu I gather would be Malayalee for Sir ?

Just checked the Nexus 4 for 180 KD!?! That is plane insane!

Hey Mark

hahahahaha at your a-salt rifle…very cool. The flies have been killing me this year..so gross. I bought a couple of those sticky fly traps from ACE and they fill up fast!! My cat is also a fly killer too…lol…rofl Happy Hunting!

Babu is just a NAME and not sir in malayalam…

but in hindi Babu is mostly referred to government employees and bureaucrats

The website is so slow i thought there was something wrong with my internet.

so whatever is displayed on the site is delivered to us? i see airsoft and other things too.

Looks very promising.
Their prices are only marginally higher than if I was to order the items myself from Amazon, and had them shipped via ShopandShip or Borderlinx. In fact, for smaller items, they would actually be much cheaper.
Plus, with the option for payment on delivery, this is definitely a great concept.
Wishing them all the best.
I just placed an order for some Gitzo gear. Let’s see how it goes.

That’s because it is being sold on Amazon for around $550 (8 GB Model) and $600 for 16 GB Model.

Incredibly slow and very frustrating to try and search for something.

I hope they fix this soon or it will be a big waste of time.

Casio 6900 – 200 USD = 56 KD, Babu selling for 103 KD.

Searching Casio 6900 gives me 5 pages of results ranging between 20-50 KD. Not sure which product you are looking at. There are 2 models listed for 91 KD, but they retail for $269.

Just the first link i found since i am on my phone.

The nikkor nikon 24-70mm 2.8 is like 100 kd more expensive than alghanim… insane

The website is DEADLY SLOW… should have expected a massive attack on it if u had a mention here tbh…

couldn’t think of a more racist name?

Mr Babu , how much would you be selling a Sandisk 64GB microSD memory card for including shipping/delivery.. not able to access the cellphone/accessories of your page!

That’s the one I wrote about. It’s $269 on Amazon, and 91 KD on Mr. Babu.
Ebay should not be used as an indicator for pricing new items, since there are risks associated with purchasing from ebay sellers.

interesting concept…

but it just keeps crashing crashing crashing & crashing… frustrating.

Actually the retail price is 180 USD. Pay with paypall on ebay and you’re covered. Buy from top rated sellers and you’re safe.

Just because an item is overpriced on Amazon doesn’t mean it should sell for the same price elsewhere.

And please don’t make a monster out of Ebay. All you need is a brain to avoid being conned on ebay.

No idea what this item is but generally you can’t compare amazon or any other store pricing to prices on ebay. It has nothing to do with security or whatever.

Awsome !

just ordered a bug a salt at 7:15 AM today, i just received it now !

and its out of stock :P

For most NEW items, Amazon beats ebay on pricing.
Also if you checked the site, they seem to be doing real-time search on Amazon catalog, and pulling product details, reviews etc. to show on their site.
Which makes perfect business sense. You can rely on Amazon to provide consistent experience. Since Ebay is a bunch of different sellers, you cannot.

Hallo sirr maaam was already taken.

This is actually a pretty cool website idea. I’ll be using it a lot! Thanks!

Are you sure? If Alghanim is selling this for around 518 KD, it’s an insane deal.
I remember when I purchased mine directly from DigitalRev, it was sold in Kuwait for KD 603 (according to Mark)

i dont think this is slow, due to the response from 248am. thats BS. the site overall is fast, however, when you start searching for something, it starts going through all their APIs to connect to various DBs of their retailers. Now either that have a big indexing issue or that have poorly written queries. the concept is really good , but they need to seriously do a lot of work on their db queries. maybe invest into db caches and more.

Brad, we have SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC Class 10 Memory Card with SD Adapter for KD 22.800 and SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s with Adapter for KD 22.400

Price INCLUDES shipping, taxes and import duties.

Please email us or visit our store for more details.

Whats Babu? I know Baba is dad…Still learning.

Mark, out of curiosity – how many visitors(more or less) did you sent on mrbabu’s site? =)

no idea

a few items are quite reasonable. but a LOT are overpriced.

Corsair Carbide Series Black 500R Mid Tower Computer Case (CC-9011012-WW) sells of 93.600KD, retails for 119.98 dollars online (33.152kd).

EVEN if we factor in shipping costs and customs duties, it won’t be THAT high!

Whats wrong with people now days? look at the Recently Purchased items… half of them knifes and swords.. now people buy weapons over mrbabu.com :(

Boss, need the canon L series 300mm 4.0 L, how much it will cost??

Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

This site is over rated for the prices i saw,i used to know a Kuwaiti guy who can get me these things for less the price of all,dont know were he is.

Not everything is going to be cheaper. Obviously if an item in Kuwait costs the same as the States then it’s going to cost more if you buy it from the states since you need to pay taxes and shipping. It’s like buying a stick of glue from amazon. Costs 100fils in Kuwait but will cost your around 5KD if you order it from Amazon. Doesn’t mean Amazon is more expensive…

Tarek thank you for your feedback and we are extremely happy that you decided to change your mind and actually buy the Timberland’s, PS2 console, and Casio watch among other items from our site. Yes many of our customers take a direct price comparison of Amazon $ to our KD price and think our prices are exaggerated, but once they add up tax, shipping, and customs they realize how reasonable our prices are. Again thanks for your comment.

I’m not going to buy anything from you.
Cause i did buy it already with the price i found,yet Casio showroom employees told me that i’m Nuts if i bought the watch with the price you cahrge from amazon or ebay.
So all the things i ordered cancel it,cause my money is low & even if i hve money,i’d rather buy those stuff i oorder from you with an average price.

I used to know i kuwaiti guy who can buy me stuff from amazon or ebay for less than what Mrbabu charge,i’m real disappointed in what i saw with prices like these.
Cause i heard from people here & people i know that Mrbabu is nothing but an over priced site who charge more than any normal guys who deals with amazon or ebay in Kuwait.

Tarek MrBabu is all about customer service we work day and night to offer you the best shopping experience. We will call you and resolve any misconception you might have.

I didnt say thieves,i mean to say: “This site is over priced for these:”

But on the other hand i’ll try the other stuff i ordered since i cant cancel it :)
