Customer Reviews
In recent years, Chinese stores have become widespread, becoming a household name for many consumers. They've arrived on Ischia, albeit belatedly. VIP Market is the largest Chinese store on the island. Inside the megastore, you can find a wide range of products, from kitchen utensils to technology, from clothing to household items, including stationery, hardware, cat, dog, and fish supplies, and so on. Generally, Chinese stores' ability to satisfy every need at affordable prices has made them a go-to for many consumers, but on the island, as is the case with many businesses, prices soar to the point of becoming unreasonable, especially for items that are absolutely not worth the asking price. The megastore is in a great location and has ample parking. It's housed in a three-story building alongside a clothing store and a supermarket, so, especially on weekends, it's as busy as mainland shopping malls. Absolutely overpriced for the value of the merchandise. The staff is five-star, polite and helpful, and very attentive to customer requests.
you can find a bit of everything made in china,some items are expensive but overall has everything for the house
Wide variety of items of different type at an excellent price.
