You cannot order Eleaf goods from Gearbest

[ianleeds]

I do find it interesting that TW are kicking off because Gearbest and other Chinese vendors are selling Eleaf products to UK customers, yet a quick scan of Google will find dozens of UK vendors quite openly advertising and selling Eleaf products.
Even Amazon are quite openly selling Eleaf mods and tanks.....19 full pages of Eleaf gear !
Walk into just about any UK B&M and you will find Eleaf......not under the counter hidden from view, but quite prominently displayed.
Is it just me, or do you get the impression that TW are just picking on Gearbest as an easy target ?

You know TW are the UK distributor for Eleaf and all these sellers in the UK buy from them.

While I do understand all this kafuffle caused by TW, how come other Chinese vendors still openly supply this gear, or do they just flick the finger at Eleaf and TW? It's not like GB are the cheapest from China.

Perhaps because GB has a Euro warehouse? So feel more vulnerable to bully boys like TW?

Forgot about that, makes sense I suppose.

So a quick check in the last few minutes finds the same message at the bottom of every Eleaf product I looked at.

The answer is GB buy their stock from Eleaf, other vendors or some of them buy from wholesalers who remove the authenication code so that the goods are not tracked back to them and Eleaf can't find out who's supplying the sites that can sell to UK

No doubt this will change tomorrow, remember China is 8 hours in front and when they start work which will be the next hour or 2 from now i bet they will start the process of blocking Eleaf products from UK buyers, i guess they where at shifts end by the time they made the decision, so try again tomorrow night. i also bet anyone who has tried to order Eleaf the last day or 2 just gets refunded now

They have been saying they can't sell Eleaf products to the UK for many, many months yet that is what UK visitors to their site are presented with and you see fit to blame forum members for causing them potential problems.
