Caution - Banggood delivery charge

[Welsh Brian]

Almost ordered Drill Pro Brass Handled Mitre with Alu bar for £63.34 - a product I would want and a good price. 3 weekish delivery from China which for almost every other product is free but this item had a £71.77 delivery charge listed further down the page. Would have been easy to miss - lots have been ordered and I wonder how many missed the some what excessive delivery charge (in my opinion)

Why not just buy the Kreg mitre gauge, good quality and if you also have a Kreg fence on something you end up with two interchangable fences of different lengths. Kreg KMS7102 Precision Miter Gauge System

wouldn't everybody notice this when you go to pay and it is £70 more than expected?

They seem to be up front about it unless you are hiding your location:

But this is very similar but free shipping

[Droogs]

They do say shipping via EU and not direct to UK, hence the massive cost hike atm

Then add a length of 40 20 extrusion which fits perfectly and you have just as good a tool

 

[Welsh Brian]

Totally agree that it is not hidden, but just wanted to add a warning - I can not believe that all those who have purchased actually have noticed!

As an aside, which mitre guide would people recommend? Like the look of the Kreg but quite expensive....

or from here with free shipping? You will need to search for the fence Upgraded Miter Gauge Brass Handle Table/Saw Router Miter Gauge Sawing Assembly Ruler|Woodworking Machinery Parts| - AliExpress

The mitre gauge that came with my Scheppach table saw has a bit of "slack" in the runner. Anyway to tighten it?

 

[Skydivermel]

I ordered one back in early December. It never arrived. I had to ask for a refund. I brought loads of tool from Banggood (usually recommended) and never had a problem and always good quality.

 

[Rorschach]

Easy to miss? Really? It's right there on the page, surely you double check the total before clicking "Buy".

No good turn goes unpunished. Don't worry about it.

 

[Davey44]

I ordered something similar from another of the British/Chinese co-operative ventures in December 2020 and it hasn't arrived yet. Grrrr.

 

[pe2dave]

Guessing the numbers they deal in, I guess it's not unexpected that some go astray. I do note a small 'insurance' charge is levied,
perhaps you could test this out @Davey44 ?

 

[Welsh Brian]

Just ordered the brass handle mitre from UK held stock with 1 week delivery for £48...

Update: Dispatched within 4 hours!

Thanks pe2dave, you're probably right. The tracking shows its route from one place to another in China, then simply says - "Leaving China!" Then when I challenged them, they sent me an unintelligible list (presumably in Chinese) which was no use whatever. Ah well, back to PayPal to process for a refund I guess!
