Some times prices are not quoted, but use the chat button to send a message about your requirements, and you will soon get an answer. Very good service on my one and only order (now I trust the site I may order something else), but seem to have limited products. Even with the high delivery charges, I still got my VTR a little cheaper than here, not a lot, but 'every little helps', as the saying goes.

I thought the whole point of ordering from an unknown company in China was because it was a lot cheaper.
Surely if it's just a little cheaper it's not worth the risk and massive wait times to save a few £.
I got an SVD from FT. Half the price they are here. So worth the wait. We're it just a few £ I'd just have ordered form here. Surely those wanting a cheap VTR would go with the known and trusted FT and make a significant saving. Not a small saving.
What price was the VTR?

Sorry about that, it cost £52,60 for the Mk 2 in green version with the fixed not spinng wheel. Hmmm..about £10 more expensive than Fasttech.as it was their delivery charges that bumped up the price....hey ho. So still a bit cheaper than here in England, not a lot it seems. Ordered on the 8th May and delivered all in perfect condition on the 12th Anyway I fancied a go at buying from China...

Glad to see that my proper information cleared up your doubts, and stopped me from looking like a right *person*. As a comparison, it is still about £7.00 cheaper than my favourite site Myepack.
The site is here: www.szjingwen.com/china/innokin_itaste_vtr.html
Ordered Mon. 5th May, despatched Tues. 6th May received a.m. Mon. 12th May, so pretty good delivery time from them.
They are a real Innokin products seller, so no look-alike-ees and very easy to deal with, even using a bit of Chinglish.....which is far superior to my Chinese, which is none.
There is 12 month warranty, but how that would work out in practice I hope I don't have to find out, but, the site states a 12 month warranty which I reckon is pretty good. Although the FOB price is missing, breakdown of costs is:
Kit = $47 USD Delivery = $31.67 USD Paypal fee (using their conversion rate) $3.98 USD
Total + $82.60 USD which amounted to the £52.60 charged to my Bank.
So as you can see, the shipping charge bumps it up a lot, but in the end I did save a few quid.

I have to agree Andy ... for the sake of a few quid I would prefer to support our British vendors and secure their future ... fast delivery and sound customer after care.

You are making me feel guilty now.... However, I shouldn't be since I have just totted up my orders from Mypack over the last couple of weeks which amount to £129.23 from 25/04 to today, so I am doing my bit, as I like the prices and service. But for my VTR v2 I did search around for the cheapest price, and chose the Janwin site as it did give me a saving which paid for one of the batteries. I have made a note of Aliexpress and Fasttech to perhaps try out for a few items to see how things go.

Nice. The wife has a Lenovo B570 laptop and I bought a replacement battery about 6 months or so ago as her original is a bit tired now after a couple of years. But her laptop does not like it. So I have ordered another one which is supposed to be original........I wonder. Anyway I am hoping to get my mitts on the 'old' replacement to open it up to see if I can use the batteries in the case, so at least it won't be a complete waste of money.
