Giveaway Plasma cutters

[Justme]

If you read the term & conditions it says that the sale takes place when they confirm the price with you. The email you recieved is not a confirmation. As the price displayed on the site was clear & they do say that they will bill / confirm later they dont have to honour the price on the cart.

I'm very seceptical about these - far far far to cheap! They are either a con designed to get credit card details or just very bad quality. £225 for 60 amps! I was quoted £1600 for 60 amp thermal dynamics machine but thought that was taking the p###! I could buy 7 cheap ones?

Anyway hope you get on alright with it!

Can`t` see how they are covering the transport costs. Mind you the smaller units do not weigh much. It could be like those fabulous holidays on teletext that are never there when you go for it.

Can't see how they are covering the manufacturing costs! They can't make em in China (which they must be) for that!! AND they are offering a discount on that price to dealers such as Moi!
It's either a very serious typo error by the spotty back room geak programmer or, lets sell 1000's @ 90 quid & do one!!

Hmmm..."From £99". Sorry sir they have sold out but we have a wonderful see view room with a balcony for £399
Or... the £99 deal was based on 18 couples sharing!!

There seem to be a few similar ones on ebay at not huge amounts more. So possibly this could be a true offer if they are bulk buying or just filling up spare space in the container with em so cariage is effectivly free.

Well placed an order but not had any real reply (only a confirming email that is not realy confirming any thing). No money has left my account yet (3 days).

[weldequip]

Too good to be true??

I've placed a forward Trade "order" for 50 units just to vet them, NO reply as yet. (personally, I'd be falling over myself for an enquiry for 50 machines!!)

Bet they are wondering were all this interest is coming from. I have messaged them twice now to see whats going on.

[Drains]

Like justme, i chanced an order for one (wish I could go 50), have heard nothing, have had no money taken out of my account. These boys are turning into clowns methinks. Maybe they ballsed up and are hoping we will all go away if they ignore us. I think a phone call or two might be in order in a few days, they are ripe for p**s taking. I'm still hoping for a free plasma cutter tho.
I wonder how they would respond to an order for cebora consumables.
'Ere, weldequip, do you do tips and electrodes for a cb70 torch?

 

[Justme]

Dont forget the £50 min order if you are looking to order spares.

What we really need is a forum-friendly dealer in welding stuff who could buy spares in bulk and sell them to users. I would favour someone from the Red Rose county who does an excellent mailorder service.

Just had this email, I guess all you others who tried to buy one will get it soon as well:

Dear Mr R Jones

The picture is the same

the specs are the same

the description is the same

ONLY THE PRICE IS DIFFERENT was £130 now £270.



It was even part of your big anouncement on your site 03/01/2007 under the

PLASCOM MHP-40 Hand Plasma Cutting System MHP-40 Hand Plasma Cutting System, 40 amp - MHP-40 description.



Did you actualy have any of these for sale at any time & at what price? Did anyone buy one?



This smack of miss leading advertising taken to the extreame.

good job Justme!

i called them 2 days ago regarding MHP30, a women took my number and said that there is no one in the office who can give me an aswer, confirm my order. She prommised that authorized person will call me next day. No call till now.
I think the price of 90 was their purchase price for one unit from a manufacturer in China or other country.

Before, price difference for 30amps and 40amps was 40 now it's 20.
Anyway seems to be triple profit for them.

 

[weldequip]

Also note they have changed the warranty from 12 month's to 6 month's; obviously had shed loads of problems with the last lot & are expecting more of the same!!
You get what you pay for lads!
weldequip

 

[rtbcomp]

Doesn't statutory rights give you at least 12 months warranty? I was looking at a gritblasting pot in someone's Ebay shop and in their terms & conditions it said using the pot voids the warranty!

 

[weldequip]

Yes I think so. That's like me offering 2 years warranty on Portamigs, only if you don't use it!
