Suspect ?? (1 Viewer)

[Geo]

Needed a cheap intelli maintenance type 6amp charger for an experiment cheap so it dont matter if it dont work or blows up can always upgrade later.

At great expense I chose a UK e bay supplier for this item as I always like to buy British when possible
However on close inspection I suspect it may just be a cheap Chinese copy
What say you experts out there?

Just about the norm these days. Items say UK stock but give long delivery time and they arrive from China, quite quickly. They do usually work.

Or you could go to Halfords and get the same thing at ten times the price, probably made in the same factory.

Talking Chinese, they must be doing something right, Bowness was full of them last weekend, piling into the expensive hotels, was even fuller in July.


Doh.................... Just seen the piddling little picture. Press full size next time you upload.

On translating the hieroglyphics on the box Geo, it says. ...

This is a genuine English manufactured charger in a cheap Chinese box

[pappajohn]

Cheap Chinese copy......why on earth would anyone want to copy Chinese goods ?

 

[jockaneezer]

you don't often see Yorkshire written this way, just the local accent written down made in Grimsby (bottom left corner)

I thought it was 2 dozen tubes of pile cream.

 

[Jaws]

Just goes to show.. It is actually the other way round..................
That firm is in Suffolk.. They box them like that so when they export to the far east the packaging is correct..

I put it through my translator and it says it's a steam driven nose and ear strimmer.

I got enough without cheap Chinese ones although knowing where things come from highly likely to be expensive Chinese!

Most things in M & S are made in China, absolute disgrace not supporting UK manufacturers.
Bought an expensive Harris Tweed overcoat, made in China. Tweed was Scottish

Have you been to Peterborough ?
There are people who have been trying to get out of it since 1987 and are still driving in circles

A couple of people have told me that it is commonplace to receive goods as if they were personally consigned, then store in the UK as a buffer stock to circumvent duty and VAT.

Seems to me that you can go to Maplins/Halfords/wherever and pay a far higher price for much the same electronic goods. The quality is very variable

You pays your money, you takes your choice

This is a genuine English manufactured charger in a cheap Chinese box designed to appeal to Chinese immigrants

There...do you still feel robbed ?

 

[Ex-caravantugger]

Oh shit. I've ordered a torch from Ebay via a link left on here by a Funster. Ordered after a few sherbets and didn't realise it's coming from China. Will be here by the end of December. Then I realised I needed a battery and charger so I ordered one, says UK stock but it might be from.............China!! I haven't found the post yet, but I will.
