That is mostly a large horse but with extra neck bones and the front legs from a smaller horse, it's the basis for building a non-existent animal (partially decayed) as per instruction from a client (awaiting instruction for the next step).
Bones aside - Shot to Aldi as soon as they opened and I've bought TWO of them hoists, a steal at £37.50 ea (I get the VAT back) and an ali step ladder for the price of a few pints. Result.
s all round for this great forum and SC in particular. I dread to think what I miss during my absences.
Btw - re my earlier post and the alarming T&C's from that web site...is that even legal??

If you agree to it then I suppose it is, the seller is trying to say you're responsible for delivery but he'll arrange it on your behalf.
Normally with mailorder the sender has a contract with you to supply the goods and with the carrier to deliver them, so it's all the sender's responsibilty. In spite of this some sellers on Ebay say once it's been posted it's not their responsibilty anymore, but I think they're wrong.
If the carrier loses an item it's up to the customer to claim from the supplier and the latter to claim from the carrier.

Exactly - after all it's the seller who has contracted the carrier, not the buyer. I can imagine the seller trying to claim from the carrier would be a nightmare. I think that clause is a try-on and most people (including me usually) don't ever read all the T's and C's. What a swiz!
Ok i picked up a hoist from aldi on sunday , couple of things
1 - no bolts to attatch 'the hanging clamps'
Had some m8 bolts in the van so no real problem.
2- The down limit switch doesnt work , seems to be jambed again the side of the drum , quick tweek with a screwdriver should sort it tho 
3 - The cable drum has more than a little' run out 'when turning . Not a problem as such but thats chineses build quality for you
Anyway im happy for the money , cant exactly expect Demag quality for peanuts
Wouldnt fancy paying
twice the price for a very similar/rebranded clarke model
