great poolmaster, i now see you have shaved a few more pence off of your own prices again and brought them into line, now you have reduced your prices, lets hope the above do so too.

i think il wait a week and see what the outcome of the price war is then, may be a good time to buy in a weks time.

datang locksmiths in china , ship to the uk in bulk or in individual items and accept paypal payment, cheaper than all of these by far again,

saves a further 50% on all uk shop prices in the uk, shaves at least 25% of of all uk prices even after postage and import vat.

i think you will find the postage costs from china far ourweigh the prices at www.nelocksmithsupplies.co.uk, even for individual items, it aint cheap to post from there i can assure you , 32 euro for under .5 kilo quoted on their site, thats a hell of a lot, and i think there site is showing funny postage prices as greater than .5 kilo is @ 8 euro which does not make sense unless it is an additional 8 euro per .5 kilo over the first .5 kilo

i ordered £400 of auto tools from there with postage still saved around £800 on uk prices.

im now watching around 16 uk sites for the price drops, will report as they come in, i think the next month or 2 will be a good time for uk lockpick buyers.

but not everone wants to buy £400 worth of tools at once, or can afford to do so, you will do well to remember that

1000 miles away fella , i probably dislike CD every bit as much as you do and wont buy from him at all.

I dont sell tools, i just like a better deal, and today you have heavily dropped your prices, and all because of this thread, so im hoping now everyone does same, and in a months time we will all buy tools far cheaper than ever before in the uk.

well business is business matey, www.nelocksmithsupplies.co.uk 's aim to is compete with the best, on price and quality, the problem with ordering direct from china is when the tools you order are faulty , costs a hell of a lot to send em back for replacements and that can happen often as i know only too well

If they drop their prices to come in line or better the above shops prices then id also sing their praises, but at present almost nothing is as cheap or cheaper as claimed.

time to start singing their praises then i think

ive emailed all 16 sites im watching with the new winning prices from NE asking what they will do to compete.

il list all up on here for everyone to see, you included and all of them, stating whats cheaper where.

i think prices in the uk are about to go even lower than ever before, i also think we the buyers will benefit greatly from this thread here on 101, long may it continue.

this has been a very interesting thread indeed for me also , i would also appreciate a pm of all of these shops too.

an exercise im doing at work is to look at online shops importing specificaly from turkey and china , as most import invoices are often for a tenth of the amount paid, meaning import vat is being underpaid in most cases by 90%.

any website links would be greatly appreciated and in confidence.
