    Anyone bought an Eprops recently and was there a customs charge?

    in Other

    Posted

    Hmmm.... Then a phone call from a number that I checked out -possible scam. The very heavy Asian accent made mention of a customs fee and to call a number but the number is listed as scammy. The emails looked spot on, even the domain name looked valid. Had all the correct tracking info. But today, I  got another email that said that the package had been sent to DHL partner company for delivery. Would have thought they held on to it for customs payment  -if its not a scam...due for delivery tomorrow - we will see what happens...

    Howdy. Just looking to see if anyone has had the same situation as myself.

    I bought an eprops last week and paid for it online etc. All good. Then I started getting messages from DHL Express telling me about the tracking number and ETA. All good. Last night I got a text telling me that there was a customs charge of £175. I was not expecting that. No one in the chain of communication mentioned that nor at the point of sale. Even a heads up to say that there might be a customs charge would have been something and I get that Brexit is a thing now.... just wondered if that's just the way it is now ? Thanks.

    Nitro 200 General Status

    Ey up!

    I was just thinking about the ebb and flow of product popularity and buzz and it feels like the shine has come off the Nitro 200. Is it just a lack of promo recently or does the unit have inherent issues that have eventually come to light? It seemed to be very popular for a while but its all gone quiet...can anyone hazard a guess as to the top 5 units these days(or is it just Mav all the way?)  Just curious....

     

    thanks

    Bailey Aviation -still a thing?

    Hi

    My mind keeps wandering off to the reliability of the 4 stroke. Although I have never tried one, I really like the idea of the XC with less worry about the highly strung 2 stroke engine potentially going pop on me.

    I wondered if anyone knew if Bailey were still active? Seems a bit hit and miss from what I am reading...

     

    Thanks

     

     

    Completely unrelated to ppg... Does anyone here have an office job and use outlook for email?

    HI,

     

    Like I say in the Title, nothing to do with PPG (unfortunately). I am trying to gauge whether something thats happened at my work, is a normal average reaction or is a unique uncommon reaction.

    It basically revolves around an office environment staff member leaving to go to another job, who exported contacts from outlook.  In my experience over the past 20 years, its been a fairly common practice, although a bit "naughty" particularly among the management layer for this to happen.

    Does anyone have any experience of the above and what if anything were the consequences.

    I would be interested in any feedback if you have any.

     

    Thanks

    Average PPG Electrical system

    Hope everyone is safe and well.

    I am looking to learn about the electrical system of a paramotor. How it works, what it does etc. My youtube search just gives me stuff about electric paramotors. I am thinking that it wont be too far removed from other 2 stroke motors electrical setup but would like to take the forum advice in the first instance. Thanks.
