Has anyone noticed price difference

[smokingaces]

Ok I order from lots of Chinese vendors, but mostly was always using Gearbest. Lately I have noticed that Gearbest pricing has increased by a far amount… so today I notice that Gearbest have the Hcigar maze Rda price £23.14 yet fasttech have the same Hcigar maze Rda $18.21 thats roughly £9 difference. Have noticed this a lot and am finding myself ordering more from fasttech. In some cases its cheaper buying from UK vendors than Gearbest.
Is it just me???

$18 is not roughly £9! And hasn't been for many years now.

I find it's swings and roundabouts with these sites, some things will be cheaper on GB than Slowtech and vice versa. Always worth checking!

 sorry the £9 was the difference…….$18 is about £13.50 so £23 - £13.50 =£9.50

yes, it's definitely checking out several of the chinese vendors for the same item, very often (big) differences in prices. Could be down to promos, better/worse supplier arrangements, or any other number of reasons....

...moral of the story - ALWAYS shop around

Most every time I check FT is cheaper and always have been, sometimes GB prices are just silly EG 30ml needle bottles
GB $4.79 for 5 ($3.35 in sale) www.gearbest.com/electronic-cigarettes/pp_162238.html?wid=3
FT $3.45 for 10 www.fasttech.com/products/3021/10002091/1424403
(they don't list a 5 pack, but 5 normal bottles are $2.35 on FT www.fasttech.com/products/1614002)

I tend to go with whoever has it in stock but quite often they tell downright lies ... FT in particular.
3Fvape have a section for "ships next day items" which always ship on time and that is now my first search and unless it is a lot more expensive, I will buy from them.

+1 for 3F. You can't go wrong with their 24 hour shipping items.
