anyone ever order parts from here, the pricing looks fantastic on the beer towers and they have those taps with the lever on the side of them.

they have new SS Kegs for $76, but im sure shipping from China would be pretty damn expensive on those bad boys.

Wow, I have already contacted for shipping quotes. I wonder if the towers come with the faucets. That would make it insane deal.

 

[OntarioBeerKegs]

If the shipping is decent I am going to be a guinea pig for this company. Bit of a interpretation barrier to me though. Not sure I understand how they want payment, but willing to try for a small order.

I would assume the towers do not include faucet, but for $22 and you can get a dual tower faucet. I for example bought some used perlick faucets and the chrome is in pretty bad shape even after I polished it up. I could buy new towers and just use my existing shanks and what not.

this tower for $22 Triple tower

Same situation here, no response. Maybe they're closed for not-chinese-newyear?

The location for the "physical" store is a part of china notorious for scamming American customers to send their money and since it's a wire transfer, no bank would go after them because it would cost so much. I remember seeing sites like that that sold Mac computers for 125 dollars brand new. I wouldnt bother. Just my two slcents though.

too good to be true I guess

You are buying directly from the manufacturer so the pricing reflects it. Not all of those are scams. I buy lighting products directly from china and have to use western union or bank transfer. Never had a problem. They usually even ship it 2-3 day express shipping. Unless you buy in large quantities they might not want to deal with you.

 

[Flomaster]

well crap im sure we could put together a large group buy if that guy is actually legit.

I am thinking of building keezers and selling them and using his towers would definitely keep my cost down.
