Default Anyone in the UK interested in a bulk order from centraltrade?

I did a bulk order about a month ago with pakaday and it was very successful. Anyone in the UK interested in doing the same sort of thing? I certainly am. Check their site out

Electronic Cigarette Portal

PM me and i'll send you my msn for further discussion.

Cheers guys

Fred

P.S, no rush, hopefully going to do this sometime in january so you got alot of time to make your mind up!

If the boys from across the pond are welcome, I'm interested

Was looking into this last night

Cost effective to buy e-liquid from China?

Hi Freddo,

Just a few general questions which others might be interested in rather than specifics - perhaps save you getting deluged by PM's all asking the same things:

Are you thinking of a group of individuals getting together for retail type quantities or more like the amounts small traders would want? If small quantities, are you happy about taking on packing and despatching individuals' orders as I imagine it all has to be delivered to one location?

As you've already done one of these trades, what kind of VAT & Import Duty did you get clobbered for when the order arrived? Can't really hope it 'just might' get through and bypass these when there's got to be liability for them which you have to take into account before you can realistically work out how much each sharing buyer would need to cough up over and above the order amount.

Confess I didn't go right through every part of the site, but are any guarantees/warranties given for atomiser/battery failures? If so, how would those work - do failed items have to be collected together and shipped back to China? Did you have to do this with any stuff from your previous delivery and if so could you guess at failure rates?

I really don't intend this to come over all 'officious' but assume you wouldn't like the idea of you getting 20/30 people all giving YOU hassle if they buy a batch of batteries then some of them turn out to be DOA's. We Brits are used to consumer protection these days and might get all shocked if they don't get any!

I don't want to put anyone off and might join in myself - credit crunch or no, like most folk I truly love a bargain.

All very best regards and compliments of the season!

Hi mate

People could order however much they liked, but i would assume the people interested would be the people wanting smaller quantities otherwise they would just do it themselves.

I ordered about £300 pounds worth of e liquid and i didn't get taxed. The box was about the size of a large shoe box, so it was quite small, probably the reason i didn't get taxed or pay duties. To be honest i am not very experienced with over seas orders, and don;t know much about it.

Ideally, I could email them and ask if they would post the packages separately to the people who want in if i payed in one lump sum for all the packages. It's a possibility, but i doubt they would like that. Worth a try. If not, i may be-able to organize it but not sure if i will have the time tbh. Someone else maybe willing to organize it who has a bit more experience. I'm sure we could all chip in a bit of money for their time and effort.

I don't know about the guarantees, but i could add that in my email.

Hope this helps. Cheers

I'd be interested in buying some extra chargers and a few 901 sets - 6 full sets for about £73GBP sounds pretty appealing.

Don't know if I'd go for the liquid, though. I think I'd get tired of the taste and want a change after a short while. Unless the idea is to do swaps of 15 or 30 mil bottles with with other forum users.

Hmm... There's a thought

Kev

Hi, just got a reply from central trade and they said they can send each parcel to different address' as long as it isn't too complicated. This makes things sound alot more appealing.

So all we would need to do is send the money to one person along with your specific order, they send it to centraltrade and bobs your uncle. I wouldn't mind filling that spot, and it wouldn't take long to sort out as long as you trust me

I'm quite interested in the 'lady pipes' but wouldn't want the full 12, so doing some swaps and shares does sound good.

anyone?

yeah, i think i'll need to stock up on some liquid. hope we can get it before johnny law steps in to slap our wrists. january might even be too late, but we might as well try. better pick some good flavours cause i'll be vaping it for a year. probably pick up a year supply of 901 atts while i am at it. then i'll be set - till someone starts making good ones.
