lol not 460 but will have 40 or so or whatever we need to order each. We could set a few aside and sell them on ebay as a group to recoup the costs?

Hi,

Does anyone know the exact cost per machine and stand, including all taxes etc.

Thanks,

My 2 pence would be to buy clemport machines. Arranging something like this will take more effort and hassle than if you were to buy clemport machines in the long run.

For example what happens if you get sent a bad batch of machines? who will spend all the time correcting the problem?

What about if you container gets pulled? who's EORI number are you going to use?

I know I sound like an old miserable ******* but having spent 6 years importing from the far east I can safely say its not as easy as percieved.

Cheers
Jonny

Jonny,

As said I have a guy with holding coimpany and a shipping company that used to be family owned so they would sort all of that out, plus the loads are insured and if there faulty they get sent back. Still waiting for a price from zenjet anyway as not sure if they even make them anymore.

I agree with you Jonny, I had trouble with all the Chinese bought machines I have. Better off with Clenports. I bet Miguel will do a deal for large quantities.

I agree with both Pete and Jonny

Clenport if you are intending to stay in this business for more than a couple of years.
My oldest chinese machines are noow approaching five years old!
I have found the chinese ones to give problems after around 4 years, the centre spindles in the coin mechs seem to wear excessively allowing the barrells to drop. This then makes them jammm more often causing more undue stress on the worn barrell and mech causing them to fail/ break!

Hi
I have just beed speaking to Rob at Hurleys about stock and siting and he said that he had seen this thread. He has said that he is willing to order Clenports direct at a small discount rate, for anyone who prefers them to the chinese ones. He would need to order a minimum of 200 machines and would be happy to pay for them upfront, if orders are placed.
