do you need that exact type of wheel?

2018-01-20 11:39:31 UTC  

i think so

2018-01-20 11:39:51 UTC  

I can only find hard rubber type of wheels wtf

2018-01-20 11:40:11 UTC  

untill i can confirm bearing size. not sure if regualr scooter wheels would work

2018-01-20 11:40:41 UTC  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0cooh74fuA its this scooter under a different brand name.

2018-01-20 11:41:13 UTC  

all of the chinese fwd electric scooters use the same 3 spoke wheel

2018-01-20 11:42:28 UTC  

if hard regular "stunt scoote" wheels work, ill get those but im not sure. also looks like the company may have stripped the screws on purpouse which means i have to tap them or something

2018-01-20 11:42:51 UTC  

6 inch wouldnt work right?

2018-01-20 11:44:29 UTC  

i dont think so . the ali page said it was 5 inch which is 127 mm, but i can easily find 120 mm wheels. dont know if they are rounding. also havent measued bearings.

2018-01-20 11:45:07 UTC  

I found a store but it looks really sketchy

2018-01-20 11:45:12 UTC

2018-01-20 11:46:10 UTC

2018-01-20 11:47:24 UTC

2018-01-20 11:49:59 UTC  

God I forgot how long it takes for ali sellers to ships stuff sometimes

2018-01-20 11:50:20 UTC  

Defeats the purpose of dhl shipping if it takes them 2 weeks to send it in the first place

2018-01-20 11:51:18 UTC  

I thought dhl is like lightning quick

2018-01-20 11:51:51 UTC  

I remember reading that someone in /r/fashionreps got their shit in less than 24 after ordering with dhl

2018-01-20 11:52:00 UTC  

from taobao iirc?

2018-01-20 12:11:57 UTC  

doesnt matter if its lighting quick if the seller hasnt dispatched it lol

2018-01-20 12:12:11 UTC

After 2021, all goods bought online by EU consumers from sellers outside the EU will also be subject to VAT, in line with current EU sales practices. While there may be a decrease in sales from outside the EU as a result of a more level playing-field in this market segment, trustworthy sellers from outside the EU should welcome the measures since it brings certainty over final pricing to their EU customers. Currently, a significant number of parcels are refused by consumers once they arrive in the EU as they are faced with additional VAT and clearance fees from postal or courier operators. 🇪🇺

2018-01-20 12:18:05 UTC  

@bentech VAT on everything you order

2018-01-20 12:18:26 UTC  

if you get hit by vat/customs in the uk you normlaly gotta pay 8/11 pounds on top

2018-01-20 12:18:28 UTC

2018-01-20 12:18:30 UTC  

8 othrewise

2018-01-20 12:18:42 UTC  

means it's pointless buying small items

2018-01-20 12:19:03 UTC  

Swedes now pay €15 on everything

2018-01-20 12:19:50 UTC  

best solution is to just buy from taobao and get a giant package for everything'

NO NO NO NO

```The clearance of small consignments from trusted non-EU traders or marketplaces who register with the VAT One Stop Shop will be simplified in terms of customs procedures. Consignments valued up to €150 will no longer be stopped at customs for VAT clearance and VAT collection for these goods will be managed separately on a self-assessment basis. This marks an important change in the world of customs, moving from clearance per transaction to clearance on overall sales. However, the new VAT rules will in no way interfere with other customs rules and regulations concerning safety and security, nor with the existing customs simplification measures already in place.
