Bimmian.com - from UK - Beware

IF you thinking of buying from BImmian.com and you are in the UK, think carefully.

I bought a pair of Weisslicht LED bulbs from bimmian and had it shipped to the UK. First there are custom charges to pay....

Then it all starts to go bit wrong. First one of the bulbs dies completely, then the 2nd one starts to go faulty with only some LED module lighting up. Ringing BIMMIAN, they are happy to replace under warranty as this is apparently from a bad batch BUT:

- They want me to pay for shippping chages to UK!!!!!
- When it arrives to the UK -i wil need to pay customs charges AGAIN!!!!!

I have challenged them back and await to hear on the outcome, I am NOT paying for shipping and customs charges due to a faulty product!!!!

***think twice before buying....
will keep all posted

These LEDs are made in China, EVERY batch is a BAD batch!

Even when reputable corporations move production to China, and "oversee" materials, manufacturing/inspection processes, the end result is poor quality.

Case in point, bought a Meyle Germany waterpump for an M62, Meyle Germany box had a TINY "Made in China" sticker on the side. Inside the box was a card stating "some leakage may occur during shaft seal break-in". I've bought/installed waterpumps for over 30 yrs, NEVER seen a leak disclaimer with a new unit!

Pump failed at 1 yr mark.
