Buying Products From Abroad?

[Ash-Kennard]

Been looking at a new frame recently, Can't find it anywhere in stock except for in china, now I am a little bit sceptical about ordering from so far away, but the price is much, much better including shipping and import tax it is a good £150 cheaper. But I don't know if if is a good idea, The information on the website they have says the geometry is different to the geo on tarty and the description says the colours are different from their pictures. If an order like this does go wrong i.e. they send me the wrong frame, is there actually anything I can do about it? Or is it a case of bite the bullet and just sell it on?

Anyone who has done it before please give me some advice.

Cheers Ash

PS I don't intend to post the link in here, but the frame is the new Neon Bow so if you can find it available in the UK that would be sweet too and if anyone wants the link I can PM it to you.

I was looking at a frame from China as well but I decided against it as it looked too dodgy. Plus the postage seemed to be as much as the frame. Things tend to be copied in china so they could say it's a neon bow but it's actually a cheap reproduction. They do the same with cars. I wouldn't do it.

I always look at trials shops in hong kong and china and never get to filling my card details in... Can't quite trust them.

personally I would NEVER order from China. I've ordered stuff before (non trials related) and its all total sh*t. you get what you pay for.

and if it goes wrong.. your on your own. out of pocket and wishing you'd spent the extra money for the added security.

just my 2 cents..
