Sarah & John Reid From Australia who bought a Lexmark Printer said, “We have been waiting for GITEX Shopper and its attracting offers because we were on the look out for a high end Lexmark  printer to support our home-office requirements and the deals at Shopper were excellent with so many prizes to win.”

Saad Mohideen from Syria bought a Creative MP3 Player and was impressed with the variety on display. “There is something to suit most tastes and budgets unlike in leading malls in Dubai and I was able to find something to suit my budget and the prices are definitely better at Shopper than at malls in the emirate.”
