Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August) available until March 31st, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Tis China mate, They may not be the factory gate. Aliexpress sellers are usually brokers who source kit from elsewhere so they dont always have the stock on hand and place their orders when they have enough to warrant it. I usually find stated timescales are worse case and have seldom waited more than three weeks. Ive probably made in excess of 50 purchases from ali and ive never had a problem.
Ok. I am thinking of buying. But ATM I'm skint. 
. I want to start a small arsenal of rechargeable batteries. With the universal charger. Also looking at a knock off smart phone. Any experience of that.

I wouldn't buy knock off batteries, especially lipo ones. Also wouldn't touch a smart phone either, I'd want to see it in action first.
i tend to only buy high quality batteries. as china is full of counterfiet batteries i tend to avoid. No experience of knock off smart phones but dx.com carry some and you will find user reviews. Not something i would dabble with though as my android and iphones have had enough trouble over the years and i needed product support / replacement. Basically if you buy from china dont expect a warranty
Got ya. What puzzles me is that they all have good reviews but most of them just say excellent. Where as on amazon you get really detailed reviews. At under £20 the smartphones almost seem woth a punt. Obviously there not going to be as good as the real thing.
The rechargeable a have good review. Like this one http://m.aliexpress.com/item/627651797.html

What you need to remember Jacob is that many of the buyers on aliexpress will be reselling on ebay or via their business so feedback on there is likely to be from a commercial viewpoint like " arrived safe" or "excellen because i shifted them easily". Its not the same as for retail sites like dx.com where customers who buy to use tend to prevail.

Right got you. What do you think of the batteries. So when people leave the feed back its not the product they leave the feedback for usually its the service.
Be careful what you believe from Chinese sources...

You are right Ged, you need to be very very selective. Its usually easy to pick the fakes. One of my old suppliers sent me one of those F1s amongst other things and they are very hard to tell from the real deal. it was actually the sheath that gave it away.
rule of thumb if it looks to good to be true..........
How do you pay for your stuff on there Paul? They don't accept PayPal which is a massive shame!!
Cool, but how much protection do you actually have using a debit card? Perhaps I'm just being a bit too cautious lol
Sod it, iv ordered 1 lol!!
It would e awesome if its here for Estonia.
That set up of the meths stove and woodgas you used at north wood was a great combo!!

Well I only received my WildStove one this week, but for the price of this it's worth a punt so I just ordered one too.
I do feel sorry for the like of Wildstoves and everyone else when their products are ripped off as soon as they produce them.
Does the fact that I bought both make me a hypocrite? I don't know.

I know what you mean mate but they have coped someone else who coped someone else who........ultimately if you bring a product to market that has no patentable content then you are going to get clones. This case i suspect is the actual manufacturer offloading rather than a clone. similar thing to luxe tents who have an exclusive deal with backpackinglight in the uk but still knock out their stuff on ebay direct from hong kong much to Bobs chagrin.
