there is nothing like the feeling you get when you catch that first fish on a rod and flies you have made yourself

its all well saying that you want a new rod but are you ever going to use it as i know how busy you are.

might have been Simpsons, west preston street. or the posh one just off princes street.

Aye, far too busy to do ANY fishing, and more into my cycling at the moment.

Haven't been fly fishing for over 40 years, but I will, only three years before I retire

the response from the ebay seller of the vise.

dear customer,
sorry for late reply.
the time u contacted was the holiday in our city ,
we all out of the office ,
the item u can keep it ,
as the return shipping fee is not cheap




had a funny feeling that it was shipped from china and not london, thing is the item arrived in two days. i would presume to someone's house who re packaged it and then sent it on to me as it had uk postal marks. bloody amazing if you think about it.


i bought it originally as it stated item location london as i never wanted to pay all the customs and po charges.


i feel weird, i dont like what i would constitute as "ripping someone off". hey ho, i might modify it and see if i can get some use out of it.

I've tried to notify ebay about chinese sellers pretending to be in UK before but they're not interested. The chinese also lie about delivery times.

So you normally get a refund and the item arriving for free 3 weeks after you actually needed it.

thing is even if they are in china with a uk item location its upto them to pay all the import fees at the same price as items outwith uk. i'm personally amazed at how quick the item arrived after buying it.

now here is another way that they do it. there are massive warehouses and containers full of imported shizz from china and lots of different vendors (or one vendor with lots and lots of accounts) all selling the stuff inside it. only problem is once its sold it then becomes the vendors problem. a bit like how our supermarkets work when buying things like fruit.

do they pay tax.. more than likely not but hey one of the biggest companies in the world dont pay tax in the uk either. i dont see the gov rushing out and banning them from trading in the uk.
