Hi

Any body ever sourced equipment from China , or have a supplier located in China.

I notice they offer crazy deals on lights , tents and other bits.

I really wouldn't bother, You will have so many come backs IMO The quality is just not there, You might do well at 1st, But people will soon catch on that its nothing more than cheap tat.

agree to a certain extent. most chinese made products are cheap shit, lasts a few weeks rubbish, but its not realy the fault of the chinese. it is down to the buyers/importers who will tell them they want a certain product, for a certain price (usualy the cheapest). these guys can make top quality goods for a lot less than we brits can!

True, in many cases.

Just look at the stuff that Apple put out... Except that they don't even have 'cheap' in their favour...

brand means nothing mate. most products made there are identical and you get nothing better paying for branded items!

I can only say from experince buying many items from China v uk items made here, The quality is significantly different, But as said this is apparent in the cost.

**rapid7** · 10-05-12, 07:54 PM

wel look at trainers for example witch are better quality nike or say dunlop i dnt no if dunlop r made there like but you get the jist of it they have to have gone through quality testing by nike otherwise they wouldnt be one of the best on the market

agree with that totaly mate! i would buy british everytime but it is realy down to price. the bad reputation chinese made products that are available here are down to tight arsed importers who buy the cheapest for maximum profit. thats the main reason i would never recomend anyone buying the grow tent kits that are for sale everywere. cheapest crap available imoho

**rapid7** · 10-05-12, 08:06 PM

or i wouldnt duy cheap shit like that as youll only end up buying again was originally gunna get on of them ebay grow kits tent fan etc but some things would ov needed upgrading so just bought decent stuff from the off n shud last me twice as long n do a better job well in theory

has anyone ever been to manchester to buy fake clothes/trainers? hundreds of sellers hidden all over the place if you know were to look. they all have two grades of designer clothes, cheap shit that fall to bits first time in the wash and good quality stuff that in a lot of cases is better than the real thing!
