T64 Grinder From Bella Barista

dfk41

MediumRoastSteam The SSP burrs differentiated the grinder making it in the same ball park, in fact substantially cheaper than the new to arrive DF64 variable @ £549……explain that one

dfk41 - I can’t explain it. I don’t set the prices!

Anyway. Just my opinion of my rationale based on your own comment:

dfk41 If you remove the cost of the SSP burrs that are included in the BB one, then the price comes down to about £300 which includes a full warranty

I hope I’m entitled to have one. 🤷

unfortunately Bella Barista does not have them for sale anymore. And the alibaba producer is asking 400USD + shipping for the grinder with SSP HU. There is 20% VAT and custom duties on top of that. Maybe the price can be lowered if we know it was sold for 260 before.

Not with SSP burrs it wasn’t.

Bella Barista don’t have it on their website, but if you phone up you can still buy it from them as far as I am aware

I did talk to them online and they don’t have it anymore. As I would have bought it.

It was sold with the titanium burrs indeed, but the shop told me it’s the same price with the titanium burrs(400USD). Still wondering how much would the custom duties are.

A very rough landed price used to be: read usd as £ and thats the ball park after paying duty 😎

That sound off to me, because I am talking about SSP EP Red burrs, they are not, they are talking about their own coated burr!

oddbean

So,

@odor4fun bought it with their own titanium coated burrs for 260USD
When I asked about retail price with SSP HU burrs, they replied 400USD.
When I asked about the price with their own titanium coated they replied 400USD

Yes, something is off. Bit dis not ask them about the SSP EP Red burrs. Can do, bit I feel they will tell me 400USD

MediumRoastSteam

Wait… so you paid 260 but they quoted 400? Points 1 and 3, same burrs.

At least they didn’t tell you 42…. 😬

Adrianmsmith

MediumRoastSteam

42, so what was the question 🫣🤔

Jason1wood

Adrianmsmith how much you wanted for your Philos 😉🤣🤣🤣

Maybe I am not getting the right product but I found the T64 here: T64 Variable Speed Grinder

It says it is manufactured by Ningbo Grind Electronic Appliance Co, same manufacturer mentioned above.

I asked them if they would sell me the variable speed grinder with SSP HU Red Speed burrs for $405 pre-freight. They agreed. Add 89 dollars of freight and total price is $494. Unless I am missing something that seems like a good price…

gregE Warranty based within your country of 2 years maybe?

DavecUK

gregE Ensure it is the right one variable speed I think is 300W vs 200 or 250W motor for the non variable speed. Look at photos for the variable speed dial opposite side to the power button

gregE

DavecUK Thanks for the info. I verified it was 300W and has the speed dial opposite side to power button. In fact, they sent me a photo of the unit. I also wanted to ensure they would install the SSP HU red speed burrs and they sent me a photo of a stockpile they had and said they do this regularly. I have never done alibaba before. I hope they deliver on what they have promised.

gregE

Warranty is 1 year I believe.

dfk41

gregE Can I just make sure that I understand properly. You intend to buy directly from a manufacturer/seller on Alibaba who offers a one year warranty. You are based in the US and they intend to charge you $89 for shipping it to you. Just as a last thought, have you looked into getting a quote from an American based shipping service as to how much they would charge you to send it at your own cost from America back to China.

gregE

dfk41 you are talking about for a repair like for a warranty issue in the event I needed it serviced?

dfk41

gregE But I am hoping that outside of receiving an actual dud it will serve me well during that warranty period.
There are two sorts of hope…..Bob Hope and No Hope…….just puling your leg!

gregE you are talking about for a repair like for a warranty issue in the event I needed it serviced?
A warranty is an insurance. A total waste of money if you do not claim, but if you have a problem and have no insurance you will wish you had! I agree with you in as much as the chances of buying a dud should be remote. I doubt it would put e off, especially if you cannot buy from a US based dealer network

gregE

I know for a fact it would not be cheap. But I am hoping that outside of receiving an actual dud it will serve me well during that warranty period.
