Save £300? Maybe.

Spend more than two days sorting out the deal?  Probably.

Youre better off working and earning the extra cash to buy a tried and tested pole that you know can go back if theres a problem, in my opinion. In particular how much time, effort and stress will you go through if what arrives isnt right in any way?  False economy as far as I can see but then again, Im not the one doing it.

I don't know,some of the poles I have been looking at don't look too bad. Just will need a few shiners to club together to order,thats the problem I see.

That looks pretty similar to the Aquadapter version.

strange that  :),only problem with that its got those sprung clamps that will constantly need adjusting and i guess the lever will flop about when released-only my thoughts but used those type of clamps before on another pole,thats why i searched for another type of pole and clamps

Maybe you Wang the Wong number.

Funny you should say that. I asked for an 18, 25 and a 45.
They said do you want rice or chips with them.

I have tried to buy stuff from alibaba before, total PITA!

Let the suppliers deal with the headache - the poles are reasonably priced nowadays anyway.

Hi Ben ,
 
This is discounted shipping cost .
 
We exported telescopic pole sample to UK , all with UPS express .
 
If you have account of DHL , Fedex , then we can arrange the sample pole at freight collection .
 
I think it is worthy to have a fast shipping and a coveted pole with just less than USD 150.00 .
 
Kind regards,
Maggie

Hi I bought a 18ft and 45 ft china Pole , exactly the same ones as Kevinc .

The combined price was £440 , plus £54 import tax £500

Superb VERTICAL clamps , the main reason I bought them .

The 45ft Gardiners SuperMax , with clamps that I just hate to use is approx £650
Then add a 18ft at say £180 ? Total £830.

THE CHINA POLE SAVING IS IN BUYING THE 45ft pole.

It will last me ages as it's only used several times a month .

Bought via him sending me a PAYPAL invoice , a few clicks and onced I'd paid he emailed me a hour later saying there in the post

4 days later they were at my house .

So I've saved say £330 .
