The "Stonebridge" Automatic Folding Lantern

[Nice65]

These look lovely. Not sure how much I'd use it, but such a nice thing to own.
Will at least one of you do a review with pics of how it folds and what it looks like in use?

I have a concern that you may (I hope) already be aware of. Vat is charged on anything entering from a non EU country. I got stung buying a torch. 15% of the value plus an admin fee of £8 to do the maths and apply a sticker!

Sorry to butt in on your thread and hope it all runs smoothly.

Payment, in order that the GB may proceed has been requested.

There are three outstanding payments still listed.

Repeated questioning when the list shows outstanding payments is unfair to Pignut!

 

[Pignut]

I will be on with it tomorrow

And once I have an e mail back from the supplier I will be able to get on with the ordering!

I still need to double check the list and add updated I wll get to this tomorrow

Good man , many thanks

I have spoken (At length) to the suppier in the states. (they would not return my emails)

The shipping cost has now increased as they now say 30 of these lanterns has to go as 2 deliveries, this is15% more expensive!!! then sending 1 parcel, we may then incure 2x the import duty as the supplier refuses to send these as a gift (they will only mark them as marketable items) this will potentially make them far more expensive then ordering them individually!!!!

I got the distinct impression that they really could not be Ar5ed and as such I am not willing to "Risk" other peoples money on this

You have all had a refund from me apart form the posted money (I will need your addy to send that back if you could please pm me)

and one other person whos paypal is not recieving funds (I will try this one again later and if not will email you to let you know)

I would also like to appologise for the messing about I have caused you all!

Sorry once again

Pignut

 

[verloc]

no probs mate - at the end of the day we are all at the mercy of the peoples at the other end of the supply chain. Thanks for giving it a shot, your efforts are definitely appreciated.

Cheers

No worries bud; shame its not come off but you made a valient effort so cheers.
Some US firm can be swines to try to buy from ourside continental US.

Thanks for the speedy refund

 

[Stuart69]

Pity this hasn't worked out but no worries Pignut, I totally understand why you've cancelled the GB. Thanks for trying

 

[Twodogs]

Many thanks for trying ,

Well done for your efforts

[mt350]

thanks for trying and thanks for the refund

 

[Wayland]

Thanks for you efforts on this, I had trouble getting info from them as well when I tried some time ago.

It's nice to see that in these hard times some people are obviously not in need of customers. :bluThinki

It's just a shame there doesn't seem to be a company out there that sells these and actually wants UK business.

They where a dream to start with.... Until I was really ready to order
