Purchased an Industrial Laser Cutter today and I had two choices for the same machine.
1. Import direct from China.
2. Import direct from Germany.
Guess where it was £1798 cheaper from?

While most British laser suppliers say they are British manufactured they are in fact 'assembled' from imported parts.

When you buy Industrial equipment there is a lot more than just the parts that go into it and where they are made.
There is also the price point.
There is After Sales.
There is on-site service.
There is Warranty and Spares, consumables.
There is scale built into the package.
There is a whole ecosystem surrounding the purchase.
Buying British or Chinese or Welsh or German or Novascotian isn't close to being the most important factor.

When financial and economic concerns are your first and most important part of any criticism, something is terribly wrong with your society.

You're whole world views are based on global capitalism, Increasing the Gross domestic product and the free movement of labour and capital.
Whether you understand this or not.
Any attempt at explaining any solutions, and criticism or morality within within these parameters is pointless.

Its how you make profit, that’s the problem, if you make it honestly then it’s fine if you make it as expense of others then it’s bad.
I think that’s been the general problem for many years.
Nobody likes an individual or company who has been socially irresponsible and not shared their profit to pay for the above.
But we praise those companies and individuals who pay their fair share.
So in summary, profit is good but it’s your duty as a business person to help society for the opportunity having the ability to earn that profit in the first place.

I would say that saving £1798 is significant enough to think that imports from the EU aren't quite as bad as the Media and Hype and Remainers 'want' it to be. |

Is your argument *really* that getting an item of industrial machinery shipped over from nearby is cheaper than getting it shipped from the other side of the planet?
How much import duty and additional costs were there on this piece of equipment that were not there a few months ago?
I know brexiteers have to create a strawman argument that remain voters want prices to be higher (never understood that one). But come on. Use 28.34g of common sense here.

Not in this instance I shouldn't.
Also we priced 2 machines that are manufactured in the USA. Same spec - same package - same support. With a tweak here and there.
Their Delivery charge was:
$980 + £470 import duty + £106 Local Delivery (from the port of arrival)
$1034 + £470 import duty + £106 Local Delivery (from the port of arrival)
From Germany
$00 + £00 import duty absorbed Vat Absorbed + (paid for by the German Company) £98 Local Delivery (from the port of arrival).

"Purchased an Industrial Laser Cutter today and I had two choices for the same machine.
1. Import direct from China.
2. Import direct from Germany.
Guess where it was £1798 cheaper from?
Why didn’t you buy a British made one instead?
While most British laser suppliers say they are British manufactured they are in fact 'assembled' from imported parts.
O dear, you could have at least bought a British manufactured one instead? "
do you have a problem with buying British ? |

Not at all - I couldn't find the right deal with the right support in the UK. Just as simple as that. I am very pro British. But the unreality of saying that all can be done with British products alone is wrong.

"But they told us it was impossible to import from Europe, fees and charges and things, that we'd erected barriers?
Have we been lied to?
I would say that saving £1798 is significant enough to think that imports from the EU aren't quite as bad as the Media and Hype and Remainers 'want' it to be.
Well done , you should have bought British though ,
Is that going to be your answer to everything? If so you might want to sit our exporters down a sec and steady them for your stunning intelligence.

I think your missing my point, the OP is pro British and has been encouraging others to ‘buy British’ I am surprised they didn’t take their own advice
Sure. But not everyone lives in your utopia.
-Matt
I don’t have a utopia, I was taking the Micky out of the always ‘buy British ‘ message by certain Brexiteers. It obviously went over your head
Just as a side note I have never said 'always' buy British. Pragmatism would put paid to that Utopial."
You could have bought a British made machine?? |

Simple as that.so we have something in common then a leaver and remainer first steps to healing our great country mate lol"

Why buy British?
It was a business decision based on the OP's requirements.
As with alot of UK companies that sell industrial equipment, it's mass produced abroad then badged and sold under licence in the UK.

True. There are 5 machines in 5 UK outlets with differing names (some with a case colour change) and all of them exactly the same machine. |

We had an issue with a machine that was bought from the UK.
It wasn't commissioned correctly.
It caused us nearly a year of downtime on the asset.
In the end we got a company from Turkey to come out and commission it for us. The sell the same model under a different brand name.
When we asked them what it would have cost to purchase it from them it was around 20% cheaper.
Like you said same machine, different colour.

Na! British jobs, British pants, British whatever for British whoever. What a lot of tosh.
I have the same approach as you. I don’t need anybody to tell me what I should buy. The main reason for me to buy British stuff is for environmental reasons and to reduce carbon footprint. If this gvt really cared about British businesses and jobs it wouldn’t have supported Brexit. Why should I give a toss?

"More importantly. What you going to use it for? "
Going to make British Stuff with it lol.
Everything from Laser Marking through to Sign Making through to Architectural Fittings through to Lighting and a few other 'Top Secret' Projects lol.
Doing some of these things already. The large format Laser will speed quite a few jobs through so much more quickly. |
