HEC Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Looks like Inmotion is adding clothing to their wide range of products: https://shop.imscv.com/getGoodsInfo?goodsInfoId=88 So far though only for the Asia / China market. Maybe @Jason McNeil or some other distributors would be able to get hold of those as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it would be probably double of that prior reaching our shores but even then if you want to support Inmotion ... This is also a pre-order price so might go up after 2 January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see they are selling V8 innertubes for <$5 and tires (they appear to be Kenda) for <$10, along with Roomba type sweepers for ~$50 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices are indeed very good but IM doesn't ship outside of Asia directly so you'd need to have someone purchase it locally for you first and then forwarded to you. I've put some feelers to a few aliexpress sellers to see if anyone would be able/ willing to re-sell those... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've put some feelers to a few aliexpress sellers to see if anyone would be able/ willing to re-sell those... I'll be in China in May, so can wait. I'd found a major problem in paying in the past (I used to use WeChat Wallet, but they had problems and I can't get it on their new software). I've heard that you can now pay directly from Bank of China, so I'm going to see what I can set up when I am on the ground this summer. Generally Chinese prices are about 50% of the price you would pay in the US (which is why Alibaba has Aliexpress for Westerners, and 1688.com inside China). EUC's are a special case because of the batteries, and it pays to have guys like @Jason McNeil who are willing to endure the headaches of importing.

Jason McNeil Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Stocking accessories in the US is expensive & troublesome, that's why there's often a gap between the Ali price & what can be sourced locally: Volume pricing of parts like spares are comparable to buying in single quantities We often fly them in by a courier at >$5/kg Many parts end up sitting on a shelf because they're needed infrequently Storage/Fulfillment costs are high, between $5-$10 per order to Fulfill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
