Dengfu E10 / Bafang - Buying/Pricing

[jtran69]

I'm pulling trigger on this but need your opinion on this additional 4.2% from Alibaba. Is this normal?
I"m also taking a risk shipping all to a friend in Shenzhen then he'll send them to me in US with TBD shipping fee + unknown other fee. Any comments would be great since I'm new at this purchase!

 

[Bogdan]

I also got 4,2% but I ordered directly and paid this to Paypal - at Paypal this is assurance fee - if you send money as friend this should not be charged (but I sleep better because of that 4,2%).

HI I've just had melody asking me for a vat number saying they can't send it without has she asked anyone else???

 

[Bogdan]

Nope - normaly all taxes shood be included in higher Shipping costs. Ask Melody why.

I'm speaking to her now 1st she said vat now saying tax

I'm speaking to her now 1st she said vat now saying tax

I shipped mine to Italy and I pre-emptively provided her with my fiscal code. I assumed this would aid in the customs clearance.
I am not sure how it works in your country but in Italy its best to include a fiscal code with any financial / commercial transaction. In italy it is the equivelant to your personal tax code.

Hi everyone.

New here, thought I'd chime in here with an update on the current pricing I received from our good friend Melody:

Item​	Price​
E10 in UD matt finish	$799
A headset for E10	$14
Rear thru axle for E10	$10
M600 Bafang motor 48V 500W	$650
Battery 48V 16Ah	$430
Shipping cost to Germany including tax prepaid	$470
Paypal fee	4.2%

Note the battery they're shipping currently is 16Ah and not 17.5Ah and it's increased from $350 to $430. Melody informed me that the cells used to make the 17.5Ah battery are not available.

Got the same info today too.

 

[captainhightop]

I wonder if this means previous orders will have reduced capacity batteries?
I did notice that my usual supplier has very little stock of 18650 cells at the moment (all brands), I'd assumed it was a Brexit issue, but as these batteries are coming from China maybe the problem is at source.

Hi All,
After having read most threads on "the Cheeb" I'm also about to order the pieces from DengFu.
I got same quotation as GandalfR to ship to France.

In the quotation, they never tell about the size. How can I make sure I will be delivered in size L ?

Thanks !

 

[Kiwin]

Melody just answered me :
"
L size is 19.5", ok.
If you pay by bank transfer, pls choose to pay off all bank fees of two sides. We must receive net amount $2373 of order. When you confirm to order and pay now, pls show me your shipping information (consignee, shipping address and phone number) I will send order invoice for you to pay.
"

I'm not used to do such bank transfer, I'm not sure about the banks fees... Do you think it is better to go with Paypal then ?

J'ai préféré utiliser paypal pour avoir l'assurance, ca fait + 4.2% pour l'assurance (à toi de voir) et +-5% de plus pour le change. tu peut voir avec ta banque si ils ont une solution moins chères, mais il n'y aura pas l'assurance. Apres avec paypal j'ai jamais eu de litige sur des sommes aussi importante, en cas de problèmes comment ca se passe ?

Quelle que soit la solution que tu choisi, comme te le dit melody, ils doivent recevoir le montent exact de la facture en USD.

Use TransferWise, and a Credit Card for Payment. I did that, and paid about 20 Euro including all fees. It‘s a little bit of work to create an account, but payment was easy to execute and worked very well.

 

[Waynemarlow]

World wide shortage I'm afraid, too many EV's being made whilst hard to mine and transport rare earth materials in Covid times.

All to easy to blame everything on Brexit, cheap shot usually by the Beeb and the Guardian .

 

[Lucky Pete]

Has anyone ordered the dropper post from Dengfu? If so any feedback?

 

[jtran69]

This is my first time doing a bank transfer payment, no fee. Does this info look familiar/legit? Please advise if you have done so and thank you in advance. I'm feeling a bit nervous sending large $$$$ to a bank in HK.

 

[Fridgylife]

Made contact with melody today. They have the e09 frame for sale for $680 is the e10 that much of an upgrade?

Thaeber, Please check if this bank info above look same as the one that you had transfer $$$$ to?

I sent money to the same bank by direct bank transfer from HelloBank yesterday. Hope I'll be fine...

Exactly the same!

Finally I found the E10 frame here. Price is a bit more and $718 shipping to USA is crazy . I'm double checking to make sure that they can ship to North America.

So did you get them to ship to US? I'm looking into having it shipped to Canada but no luck so far.

No they cannot but I'm working around it. It's a bit more risk but may work, pm me for more detail.

Hello, Melody keeps on saying they did not received my transfer. But the money is gone on my side and hellobank don't help much.
Melody says she has received payment from another customer in the meantime.. is that yours ?

Did you use transferwise or similar?

No I tried bank transfer from my own bank

 

[murro]

I ordered my 19” on the 5th of jan and got the frame a month after but am still waiting for the motor/battery I was told today the battery is ready and the motor is coming next week,I am messaging him though AliExpress but paid though ebay.

Hi, did you get hit with custom duties and vat on delivery? I'm looking for the same setup but its a lottery what local taxes you now need to budget for. Any personal experiences appreciated E10 with M600 and 17.5AH battery.

Just got exactly the same quote, but USD$400 to Australia instead of USD$470. That's a helluva shipping charge.

I'm pretty sure I've read the exact ID measurements for top and bottom headset cups - I'd probably omit those and roll my own.

Can a RS Maxle or equivalent bolt into the rear?

But i do not find any supplier ? all link to supplier provided do not answer ? only TOSA have answered to say they are sold out. Does anybody can communicate an contact with serious european supplier who could sale an motor bafang serial M and shipping it to france.
