Tried and failed.Wife's MG6 needs some bits that are unavailable, or ransom price in the UK, but since it's a Chinese import the bits are available on Alibaba. So does anyone here import stuff from them? What's to be aware of?
I bought the cnc plasma on Alibaba, and then bought other small pieces on Aliexpress.I hope I am not teaching you to suck eggs, but there is a difference between Alibaba and AliExpress.
Baba is much more like a wholesale setup (think 100+ item quantities). Express is much more consumer (buy one as MOQ).
After I bought the machine, a year later I needed one of the axis stepper motor (mice chewed thru wires).Ask the seller if they list on ali express.
I mean, you will have checked previously, but they may then offer to do so?
Chinese are very serious about selling and buying they're very professional with the customer but you have to use the correct language to achieve that, never negotiate the price with an Asian sellerAfter I bought the machine, a year later I needed one of the axis stepper motor (mice chewed thru wires).
Newlin machinery had an Alibaba site (where I bought the complete machine), and had added
a Aliexpress site the next year with some simple stuff.
To facilitate the ordering of this replacement motor, Newlin added the motor to the catalog
on Aliexpress just for me.
I didn't negotiate, they told me the price and I agreed.Chinese are very serious about selling and buying they're very professional with the customer but you have to use the correct language to achieve that, never negotiate the price with an Asian seller
