Hey guys,

Thinking about ordering from Sewatec. Anyone need/want anything and split shipping?

Cheers

Let em know when you've had a look. I can wait a day or 2 no drama's.

Go for it, I wouldn't get a chance to look properly till the weekend and are fairly broke anyway :)

Have you guys had many orders through Sewatec? My first and only order took no less than 6 months to arrive because it was "lost"
Would be good for my confidence to order though them again to hear it was a once off.

 

[dimitri]

whats the appeal? the items look more expensive than buying locally?

Depends what your buying. Don't forget to remove VAT either ;)

They were significantly cheaper a few years ago but the decline in the Aussie dollar may have reduced the benefits. I purchased some Tunze pumps and they were about 25% cheaper than the local equivalent.

@Mattres I don't remember the exact postage time but I think it was about a month - occasionally, something is going to go wrong and you might have been a bit unlucky.

I've used them quite a few times and am happy to go back.

@dimitri - as the others have indicated remove 19% from the EU price shown (VAT) and add about 41EU for delivery. Depends what you get but it can save a few $$$

Done. Give me a few days (tonight all going well) to test @Rob spare Tunze return and see if I want this or the next size up and I'll place the order.

Cool, as I may cancel the RE pump table if I can find mine LOL

The race is on - either I'll order or you'll find it :-)

I'll check back the second before I order so if you find it post here :-)

As an example ...

2 x Tunze 6095 pumps from Sewatec would cost around $520 AUD delivered.

From Australian sites, most were around the $680 - $710 range, although I did find one place that was $645 but they didn't have any in stock.

So, is $160, or 30% reduction, enough to take the risk on purchasing from Germany, with the inherit difficulties in dealing with a warranty claim if it arises? That is a question that each person needs to answer themselves :)

 

[Sam Parker]

Changed/removed/added to my list. Sigh...

 

[potatocouch]

man MP10WQD 309 Euro ~ 492 AUD and plus shipping .. that is expensive from Sewatec.

 

[Sam Parker]

don't forget to remove VAT - $396.26AUD

(still, better buying locally at $400)

 

[Sam Parker]

also - compare the 40 and 60 prices, savings to be had there ;)


also - note you can get a MP10QD without the W for less too (which is ideal on a tank like my 130 which uses no other ecotech products)

LOL ... i am so tempted to upgrade to larger tank .... when the time is right
