Yes you can pay straight into his paypal account but I didn't like it that way .

So he sent me a paypal invoice , so I logged into my paypal account and paid .
So in a way yes I did pay via paypal .
But he invoiced me and made it simpler


Good luck if you decide to go down this route

Yep , his emailed me , so I guess you will have a email from them .
The closed length on the 18ft is slightly longer than the slx , but fits in my transit with no problems.

The big money saving is in the 45ft pole , especially if like me you only use it weekly.

Hope it all helps , the decision is yours , I'm happy I did it .

And I'll buy more in the future , always best to buy 2 at a time .
Especially as you just transfer your stuff from your previous pole onto them

That 45' pole is 7'6'' closed.
Does having longer sections like this make the pole more rigid at full extension, compared to a 45' pole with a shorter closed length ie shorter sections  ???.

Hi I bought a 18ft and 45 ft china Pole , exactly the same ones as Kevinc .

The combined price was £440 , plus £54 import tax £500

Superb VERTICAL clamps , the main reason I bought them .

The 45ft Gardiners SuperMax , with clamps that I just hate to use is approx £650
Then add a 18ft at say £180 ? Total £830.

THE CHINA POLE SAVING IS IN BUYING THE 45ft pole.

It will last me ages as it's only used several times a month .

Bought via him sending me a PAYPAL invoice , a few clicks and onced I'd paid he emailed me a hour later saying there in the post

4 days later they were at my house .

So I've saved say £330 .
So was the shipping about £90 for the two poles. Just trying to get a handle on costs.

It makes it VERY, VERY difficult to use!! I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole!!

Why difficult to use , I did my 4 story jobs with ease , no problem.

Persons asked for information and I've given them it .
If you don't like it or have concerns then don't buy them and spend the extra £300+ on gardiners stuff or other companies .
Some persons on here are so negative , the poles are good solid poles with superior clamps in my eyes . Yes the gardiners maybe marginally better ??
But for a 45ft pole for occasionally use I'm well happy .

Think there's also modular 60ft ones for £550

Persons absorb the information and if you don't like it then don't buy it .
This is a public forum , to get good advise from etc

I agree Kempy, that's why I put my opinion over. I've used a pole with 7ft sections & would NEVER use one again, let alone buy one. Not saying the poles are not good in every other aspect but section length here is a MAJOR flaw!

Ok fair enough
It fits in my Mwb transit van with ease , it extends with ease , it decends with ease and works well .
The clamps are great , the sections are great , and that's it really.
Oh yes the price - fantastic.

The above does for me .

I wouldn't like to spend £200 to £1000 on poles that have excellent sections but the clamps are terrible in operation .that's why I bought vertical clamp poles .

I agree. It is a c**** in the pole's armour.

i had his prices, not worth imo, closed length not good,the clamps look fragile and cheap
Not worth saving few pennies, i prefer to buy from uk supplier like gardiner, we know they have great poles and the customer service is perfect!
So buying poles straight out of china? no for me, i am OUT  ;)

id rather pay extra and buy from gardiners for 3 reasons.

1.shorter collapsed length.

2.excellent customer service.

3.gardiner poles are lighter so make my working day easier.massive plus than saving £300-£400 on a pole.
price higher/work harder!
