They can go away with their rip off P&P and product quality worse than DHgate and Alliexpress.

it's my understanding that taxes will be imposed on direct buys from china from the begining of next year.
May also be customs complications.
The £15 tax free exemption is being removed I think.
what's DHgate.
I agree that a fair bit of PlanetX's "novelty" bits and bobs could be sourced independently from china for less.

DHgate is fakes and tat, some of it not bad some of it rubbish. For example I got a Void kit which looks spot on and the jersey is fine but the pad in the bibs is terrible.
Thanks for the heads up, that is new to me. I found out more at https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...s-goods-sold-to-customers-from-1-january-2021

short term offer from planet X.
Looks like a good price for a track pump.
I assume it works.
Anyone had any experience of it?
Can it be taken apart for servicing, sorting any seal issues which might arise?

Is identical to the Lidl one, £6.99. And no, not so far as I can see.

IF it is identical to the Lidl one it is to be avoided at all costs.

I've seen the exact same pump priced up to £50!
They are basic, but functional. My next track pump will be a better one, for sure!

Did anybody order? I ordered a bladder supposedly posted the same day with a RM tracking number which was never recognised by RM, several emails later they have created a new order today as a replacement.

don't pay too much - as I think you gather in contemporary cycling this doesn't guarantee quality.
Years ago I paid getting on for £70 for a supposedly super special Specialized track pump.
It developed a fault - I went into one of those upmarket Specialized stores (can't remember what they call them) to ask about a small spare part. They looked blank. One of the staff, who probably liked to see himself as a consultant, then asked how old the pump was and when I said "about 2 years" pretty much laughed in my face and told me to forget it. Haven't bought anything Spesh since.
My current track pump cost £15 from Edinburgh Bike-Coop - an own branded one. It's very good (may be a Giyo) but can't be serviced, which is a pity.
Topeak I would trust.

i had a lidl or aldi pump cant remember which one but its ok but you have to let air out of a road tyre a bit to be able to pump more in as the pressure from the air in a tyre stops it working untill below a certain amount , im talking down to mebbe 60 psi befor eit will work .Ok as a back up but a bit rubbish tbh

seem to remember some sort of "jam" in a trackpump I bought in an Italian Lidl. Then it exploded. Don't think it ever actually pumped a tyre.
