And people wonder why Trump's playing with tarrifs!
What annoys me is once in the U.K postal system why do they not at least not pay U.K rates.
Another subject alas!

Alot of stuff is designed abroad companies have it made in corporate colours and packaged then it's shipped. So you then see two or three companies with the same item but different colours. Some is designed here then taken over four quotes.
Imagine how big a factory would have to be to make everything Nash sell. They could never afford the building hundreds of machines and thousands of staff.
The other give away is how long things take to come back into stock once sold out. Retailers can be out of stock for a couple of months or more.
That and years ago ordering and getting goods in outer packaging with made in China or ROC on them.
We produce next to nothing in the UK.

I've used Ali quite a bit. Some of their stuff is crap so by the time you've thrown that away it's not as cheap as you think. So just be careful what you buy. Some stuff is clearly identical to the expensive uk brands and that's where you save.

Worth starting a thread where we can comment on the cheaper items we have used that we are pretty sure are the same as expensive items ? or we could add them to the bargain thread.

There are still a few english manufacturers left who do very well ie, jag, cotswold, mps to name but a few. There will always be an english market as people will pay a premium for uk products.

The copy of the wolf spod on Ali express is excellent, just like the Wolf one but a third of the price 👍
