Has Any-One Ever Bought?

[Knox213]

Any of the stuff for £1.00 from Hong Kong?

Me personaly dont trust it and think they're something faulty with it.

Can you lot share with me your experiance's from buying from "Hong Kong"?

i`ve had 2 lights from there.. no problams at all. spose it`s just like buying from this country you will get the odd bad batch and the odd rogue

 

[MrPandaram]

yep.. same quality as u buy here for fiva....

 

[Knox213]

how much did you pay?

i mean.. £0.99p? for a 200w heater? sounds either broken or faulty! i dont want to risk it

EDIT : Also.. Filters for koi ponds witch cost £80 here and £2.50 there is abit freaky..

not sure id buy a heater as the voltage may be different ( no im not a sparks

) and on the lights i had i had to change the plug ( tho they do come with a very dodgy fitting adapter) saying that.. i change my Oral B tooth brush every 6 months and have to change that plug too...

you get what you pay for at the end of the day.. least if you pay by paypal your covered.. to a point i think

 

[Knox213]

i guess.. still not going to buy a heater from there no chanch

remember there communist and keep money to themselfs ( no wonder they're so rich.. and have a better ecomical system )... god knows what some child is making for us to use

Ok clothes and toys dont bother me.. but Eletrical stuff i'd have to think twice...

Ive brought many things from hong kong/singapore/ asia reigon.. diffusers, glass lily pipes, plants, lights.. Its fine to me, certain things i wouldnt buy, and ive only gone with what ive brought through recommendations on forums.

Forget to mention, quality wise, you get what you pay for. I mean, what do you expect for a couple of quid

 

[Knox213]

Well For a couple of quid i deserve a cool car ennit

and ooh i know what you mean by pipes , plants.. but not eletrical stuff too risky in my point of few

well, certain electricals i would go for, nothing that costs over say, £40-50.. but, my light for example, just needed the plug chopping off and re-wired to a UK one.

What you were talking about earlier, a heater, would make no sence for me to buy this from HK. This is the life of your tank, are you really going to put everything on a cheapo heater

 

[shelaghfishface]

if they were made for the british market then we`d be buying them from here for not a lot more...cheap stuff is cheap stuff after all.. in my measly opinion, its worth paying an extra couple of pounds for the fact that the dealer is local and should the heater blow up or boil your fish you would be able to go round with the boys

( yes im in the xmas spirit )

lots of things are made in china etc.. my house and most others is probably full of electrical equipment made there, its cheap labour

 

[Knox213]

But i dont want to risk commimng home to dead / boiled fish

 

[AdAndrews]

go round with the boys

if thats the case, buy German made products, such as Eheim, their Jager heaters are excellent.

 

[shelaghfishface]

go round with the boys

you havent seen me when i kick off.. no boys required!!

nar knox steer clear... chances are you can get a used one here cheaper

 

[Knox213]

Im getting the new tank tomorrow so i might just get it from A & D because i need declorinater aswel.. as i ran out on the last water change

German products are good...

Good reviews from there..

 

[shelaghfishface]

ooooo sneaky, you never said you were getting a new tank

dont forget the pics
and im sure with your charm you could get them to throw in a heater.. or at least a discount as your buying a fair few things from them
