Where to order your next radio receiver ?

Now there are not many radio shops like in the past. It's easy to order with internet a radio receiver for SWL. But some people don't have credit cards or PayPal. This is a big problem, I think.

The 28 most famous brands for SWL and amateur radio operators:

AMAZON

In the past i have used eBay and it was a good website

eBay Inc. (/ˈiːbeɪ/ ^ⓘ EE-bay, styled as ebay) is an American multinational e-commerce company based in San Jose, California, that allows users to buy or view items via retail sales through online marketplaces and websites in 190 markets worldwide. Sales occur either via online auctions or "Buy It Now" instant sales, and the company charges commissions to sellers upon sale. eBay was founded by Pierre Omidyar in September 1995. In 2021, eBay had approximately 17 million global sellers^[2]; in 2023, it reported 132 million annual active buyers worldwide and handled $73 billion in transactions, 48% of which were in the United States. In 2023, the company had a take rate (revenue as a percentage of volume) of 13.81%.^[1]

eBay can be used by individuals, companies and governments to purchase and sell almost any legal, non-controversial item. Buyers and sellers may rate and review each other after each transaction, resulting in a reputation system. The eBay service is accessible via websites and mobile apps. Software developers can create applications that integrate with eBay through the eBay API. Merchants can also earn commissions from affiliate marketing programs by eBay.

Shein (/ˈʃiːɪn/ ^ⓘ SHEE-in; styled as SHEIN; Chinese: 希音; pinyin: Xīyīn) is a Chinese global e-commerce platform specializing in fast fashion. While the company primarily focuses on women's clothing, it also offers men's apparel, children's wear, accessories, cosmetics, shoes, bags, and other fashion items. Shein mainly focuses on Europe, America, Australia, and the Middle East along with other consumer markets worldwide.

Founded in Nanjing, China, in October 2008 as ZZKKO by entrepreneur Chris Xu, Shein grew to become the world's largest fashion retailer as of 2022. The company is currently headquartered in Singapore.^[5]

Known for selling relatively inexpensive apparel, Shein's success has been credited to its popularity among younger Millennial and older Generation Z consumers.^[6] The company was initially compared to a drop shipping business, as it was not involved in design and manufacturing, instead sourcing products from the wholesale clothing market in Guangzhou.^[7]^[8] Beginning in 2012, Shein began to establish its own supply chain system, transforming itself into a fully integrated retailer.^[8] The company has established its supply chain in Guangzhou with a network of more than 3,000 suppliers as of 2022.

Le Bon Coin est et restera gratuit pour les particuliers – "c'est son ADN", explique Antoine Jouteau – mais il devient progressivement payant pour les professionnels. Sept nouvelles petites annonces sont ajoutées chaque seconde, s'additionnant aux 21 millions déjà en ligne. De ses 31 pays d'implantation, la France est le seul où le site rencontre un tel succès.

Car malgré son nom, qui fleure bon l'hôtel de la gare ou le café des sports, Leboncoin.fr n'est pas d'origine française mais suédoise. Ce qu'ignorent des millions d'utilisateurs persuadés d'utiliser un site tricolore, aidés en cela, il est vrai, par le nom habilement suivi du ".fr" ainsi que par la carte de France, outil incontournable qui s'affiche sur la page d'accueil. Imaginé en 1996 au fin fond de la Scanie (Suède) par Henrik Nordström, un informaticien de 44 ans, le site fut dénommé blocket.se ("carnet de notes", en suédois) puis racheté par le groupe norvégien Schibsted en 2003.

Depuis, le concept essaime : France, Italie, Espagne, Hongrie, Inde, Vietnam, Philippines, Argentine, Brésil... A l'opposé du très centralisé Ebay, les sites des 31 pays ont chacun un nom propre et sont gérés par une entreprise filiale indépendante. Seul le moteur de navigation, qui permet d'accéder en deux clics à un objet, est le même. D'ailleurs, le nom "Le Bon Coin" a été choisi par sondage auprès de 400 internautes français. Une approche marketing maligne, dupliquée ailleurs : le site s'appelle subito.it ("rapide") en Italie, segundamano.es ("seconde main") en Espagne, mudah.my ("facile") en Malaisie.

In 1971, a California Highway Patrol officer and veteran of the Navy signal corps, who happened to be a ham, came into possession of a little radio emporium on a wooden train platform in Burlingame, CA. Bob Ferrero (Bob), who was then K6AHV and later became W6RJ, was a dedicated California Highway Patrolman. He loved ham radio and was determined to make a go of starting a business selling amateur radio products.

Today, HRO is a family owned business with multiple sales locations throughout the United States which include a formidable presence on the Internet, making it the largest Ham Radio dealership in the world.

HRO is continually expanding and one day there may be a location near you!
