i once bought a flash disk at crd-king and since then, i've been coming back to buy their products. i have bought some computer peripheral devices there like mouse, speaker, headset, etc. i even bought a portable dvd there and believe me the cdr-king products are not the disposable type. they are working efficiently and most importantly they are cheaper than the more popular brands.

i have just bought one product from them but unfortunately, it was no longer functioning after several months. It must be because of my kids mishandling it. But I do think that they offer great products coz if not, people would not be lining up that long just to buy something from their store.

i remember when i was buying a flash disk in cdr-king market market. the shop is really big and there are long lines. i spent more time in the cdr-king shop than the time i travelled from our house to the mall.

Oh wow. Haha. It really is a big long line, and it took all that time for a flash disk. although I'd wait too as there is no other place where i can buy flash disks as cheap as them. Lol, its awesome how these people are more willing to line up for cdr-king than to line up for food.

That's right Jenny, the lines are always so long. I dont mind standing in line though, what is half an hour standing in line if you can get cheap quality products,

I always buy at cdr-king... their products are a lot cheaper... and the quality is great... the mouse i bought there lasted for more than 2 years... and there are a lot to choose from... different colors designs and sizes... the only thing i do not like is the long long line... they have a lot of customers but the process of attending to all is so sow... i wish they can device a system that would make the purchase products a lot faster...

that was also my concern. there are times when all i wanna buy is a flash disk and i really have to go through the long lines. i wish they'd make it a self-service type where customers can just pick the things they wanna buy.

i mean if you will just buy flash disks or things that are quite durable, it would be better if they will just be displayed in racks and the customer will just get them and pay in the counter. just like in columbia store.

I dont think it is possible to make it self service as not many people can be as honest. It could work though like how things are piled up in the grocery stores but then it might risk damage to the equipment. Its a good idea but i dont think it will push through.

I have bought a headset at cdr-king and up until now it is working very fine with my ipod shuffle and we even use it in our pc when ever we need it.Cdr-king products are affordable and is durable compared to some branded stores which offers expensive items and yet they are not durable to use.

our speakers and headset are from cdr-king and they are really working well. i think the headset with microphone is worth less than P220 while the speaker is P180.
• Penrith, Australia
14 Feb 13
Oh wow, that cheap, now i kind of feel bad that the speaker the iPod speaker i bought was around 500 pesos, meh, scratch that my speaker is worth it as its sounds can be heard loud and clear no matter on what part of our house i stay.
• Penrith, Australia
14 Feb 13
That's right, i also bought this speaker thing where in i can put my iPod on and it charges. It is so cool that the sound is really good and it was really cheap too. I love the fact that it doubles up as a charger,

it's a great thing that you saw history unfolding right before you. anyways, who would've thought the little store in gilmore would be as big as the cdr-king now?

Yes i have bought quite a lot of products from CDR King. Usually i would buy from them accessories. Even my mom knew about CDR King and yeah it is really affordable to think of cdrking first when you have to buy some accessories. What i have so far bought from cdr-king are the following, usb mouse for my laptop, usb flash drives, rechargeable triple a and double a batteries, rechargeable flashlights (my mom), screen protectors, cellphone accessories.

I think there is a little worry now from customers when buying cdr products... i am sure that we are covered because the give out warranties for all the products that needs it. So i think its quite nice... hehe love this store they have almost everything you can think of when it comes to technology and its accessories. Hehe
• Philippines

they have a replacement warranty and service warranty as well so i guess there's really not much to worry. and also you should take care of your things as well for them to last long.

Hi, I use to buy there but I often go for branded ones even it is priced higher. Some of my experiences about their wares are negative like a couple of keyboards that went crazy in a couple of days. Took me a long time to figure out why the desktop PC kept on rebooting time after time, I have done every trick in the book to find out the culprit until I noticed that the reboot is like the shortcut power button on the keyboard is pressed all the time so I changed it for a branded one and viola, the problem is gone. Needless to say, the two CDR-King keyboards sailed out of the window in no time at all. I stopped going to the store after that experience.

I think the one you bought was not the good model. If you buy the bit more expensive but still cheap then it may last longer
• Philippines
14 Feb 13
i feel really sad for you. maybe you should have chosen the type of keyboard that sits you. we bought our keyboard there. actually, it's just a simple one without a lot of shortcuts and other buttons. it still is functioning well.
• Philippines
15 Feb 13
yes, there are really great models at a very cheap price. maybe you should check their website first before buying anything.

I bought a memory card with a card reader last April at cdr-king. A month ago the card reader wouldn't read anymore. So, i am a bit doubtful of buying again at cdr -king. Oh yes, i also bought a universal remote control. But after 5 months it won't function anymore. The one i bought from a Korean shop lasted me 2 years and it's cheaper than cdr king. So, as of now i try not to buy from it anymore. Unlucky me , maybe.

When i bought them, they said that it's warranty is only for a month. So, i don't bother asking them anymore. Besides, i lost the ORs already.

that's really sad. it's like you threw away your money into the trash bin.

have you checked the warranty of those products? maybe you can have them replaced.

Hehe yeahhh that is true... i mean if you need something and want a cheaper option, cdr king really is the one we always think of.

Yes, mostly cheaper gadgets accessories were bought at cd-r king like my desktop keyboard, mouse and even the screen protector of my tablet. :)

I like CDR King because of the cheap price of their products. However, I have a compliant on the kind of customer support they have. It is totally unlike what we are used to where you request for the items you desire and pay at the cashier. In CDR King, you have to get a number and wait from 15 minutes to 30 minutes for the saleslady to get your order depending on the number of customers in line. Their method is inconvenient and were it not for the cheap prices, I doubt if I anyone will endure the trouble of waiting. On the other hand, the prices of the items are often worth waiting for. Whatever products I have purchased from CDR have remained to work efficiently in spite of the cheap price.

we have the same sentiments. i think they have few sales people and the long lines is really depressing. i think they should just do the self service thing i suggested in my other responses here. with that, people who knew what to buy could just get their item and pay for the cashier while those who are still choosing from all the models of their products can ask assistance from the sales ladies. i think it will somehow shorten the long lines.

yes i buy products from them, just last week i bought another one, the computer monitor, its cheaper than most branded products that other stores sell, i also bought form them my keyboard and mouse. I used to work from a computer store and we sell quality computer products and preripherals, the prices really do differ and we often think that cd-r king well we all know where there products are made but yeah i patronize them and their business is really doing well in our country.
• Philippines

they are like the biggest store of their type in the country. every mall has a cdr-king store though it really varies in size of course.

Whenever we go malling, we usually drop by at CDR-King to look for items that can be useful to us. We have bought several items in there like mouse, mouse pad, CDs, and DVDs, router, cables, flash disk, card reader, photo paper and many more. To be honest, I love going in such places where you can find different items which most of the times, prices are very reasonable. We've been using our router for more than a year and we haven't really had a problem with it, like what you have said, it is worth the money unlike what other people say that crd king products are disposables.

that was actually my worry before that cdr-king products are disposable since they are cheap. but no. the products are really durable.

I have to agree with many responders that CD-R King has a lot of variety to choose from, especially when it comes to computer products but even if I buy there, I make sure that the one I'm buying is branded. My reason is that I want worth off my money and time. Sometimes, some products that I have bought from them won't last 6 months. Of course, I hardly have any warranty over that. This is especially true when it comes to data storage because I'm the type who stores everything. The same goes for equipment because I'm a heavy computer user (in my opinion). So, I can appreciate the range of products they offer but not exactly CD-R products as themselves.
• Philippines
15 Feb 13
well it's your own choice especially if you have the money. but for me, as long as they function well, i guess it's good.

Cdrking is good place to buy. I use their photo paper with great results. it is the most reasonable around, I buy the 4x6 and the a4 so if I neeed 5x7 I can cut it. I have a papercutter for that. I am a big guy and I bopught an office chair but it broke , the wheel supports were only plastic. Generally its Worth buying there.

sir, i'm happy that you find the store a good place to buy. god bless.
