High pressure 5/2 valve

[Bacon Wizard]

Alibaba is always worth being careful with... in amongst the genuine traders, are plenty of scams.

I can say that the valves ain't a scam. But the pricetag on the site ain't the complete cost.
Even if the "alibaba" seller does "free shipping", it most of the time it is only for larger orders. I took a risk by ordering the least amount that came with free shipping. 1 of that batch is used for reliability and pressuretests.


The EU/Belgian customs added the estimated cost of transport -as 0 is impossible according to them- €64.8, and calculated the import tax on that total. Adding VAT on top of that, almost doubling the price per valve. And that makes it "not worth the effort".

Maybe that the UK has other rules, but I doubt it.
