FT prices

[zebby]

Having used FT for many years especially when I was suffering from severe postal fever I managed to stay away for a couple of years, happy with my current gear. It was only a couple of weeks ago when someone mentioned a plastic mod for a reasonable price on ebay that I had a look and was shocked that the mod and tank I was looking at was hardly much more than importing from China. Not worth the saving considering having the goods in your hand in days rather rather than weeks or months. Have FT's price crept up that much over 2 years? Looking at the prices of stuff I like available from UK suppliers, I am at risk of postal fever again

Are you sure the eBay seller is actually in the UK?
More than a few times i have bought stuff off eBay and set the filter to UK only sellers then ordered the thing only to end up with a package shipped from China.

The stuff I ordered from vapor Shop was def a Chinese vendor but shipping from the UK, stuff was here in 2 or 3 days from ordering

China gets you normal sized tanks as opposed to the 2 ml we get here. I’ve also noticed that at least some vendors on Ali Express offer faster shipping now, even DHL for $10-12.

I've bought allsorts from China over the years vape gear phones etc and to be fair always got good service, I think prices have crept up in the last year or so but I put that down to the exchange rate (dollar - pound) being poor at the mo. The only thing I've found is if you pay for DHL shipping or similar you seem to get import tax whereas China post you don't.
Must admit having looked at Ebay again very recently you're right zebby the prices are getting pretty close now.
