In Fairbanks of all places.

I've boughten a few of their shitty things, some okish, some terrible.

Reminds me of Harbor Freight maybe 20-30 ago.



And yes it's Velvir, because I said so. :homer:
 
They have a big sale on the letter

It would be lopsided, shipping in cardboard and papers Smelling if sewage ditch and burnt trash, 2 bulbs dead and the rest burn out within a month.
 
That's actually really fucking smart to open the store there, ship in containers of "good enough for the money" things that people "need" to a place with money and high shipping costs. Just fucking pack containers with whatever and send it
 
Vevor was a supplier. Now they are growing. My Vevor stuff says they are based out of california. Probably next to speedmaster

John mentioned no Vevlor stuff in Prudhoe, but I've seen ratchet straps, mag drills, few other things.

Other day a Hilcorp shop had a couple of those straight from China, will last a season, maybe, hot water pressure waters from Ritchie Bros. Still had the RB stickers all over.

No idea why, that shit certainly isn't worth even the shipping.

They've had a pretty large warehouse in CA for a while and now I think they have several more around the country. I just ordered a banding tool set from them and it came from GA and they used "On Trac" as the the shipping company.
I actually placed two orders just minutes apart for coupon/discount purposes. One arrived on Thursday and one arrived on Friday, shipped from the same place with the same service. And the final destination before it was "out for deliver" was almost an hour from me. I didn't see the first delivery get dropped off, but the one yesterday was a woman in a minivan with no markings and she wasn't wearing any type of uniform. I'm assuming it's some type of Uber-like delivery service. I'm guessing they're undercutting the delivery rates to get their foot in the door because there's no way they did that cheaper than fedex or ups.


Not sure what would make them a supplier vs. an online retailer, but at least for the past several years they've been more of a retailer or drop shipper.


I think I said it in another thread about them.....they're strategy seems to be to take the place of what Harbor Freight used to be before they got all uppity and started making nice-ish stuff.
 
I can get behind that. From what i Know is Vevor was one of the original Off Shore firms that would remake anything. I like a few other offshore brands but so far my Vevor Abrasive Chop Saw and Mag drill were worth the penny's on the dollar compared to mainstream for the few times i use them.

Chinesium. Maybe better than HF but won’t last like quality tools will.

Agreed, but sometimes a cheap unit does the job.

A $1200 Hougen mag drill I'm sure is better, but, atleast for me, ill deal with an okish $225 Velver drill vs never buying a $1200 one.

It's interesting they opened a store in AK, as they don't even ship to AK.

Tried to order off their site this summer, which wouldn't even half load, and couldn't even put AK for the state.
I ended up finding it on Amazon.

Looking at their site now, which seems to load, they have Chineese copies of everything from boiler pumps to "massagers"
 
Bought a motor that was described wrong, sent an email and they sent the correct one two days later. Just ordered some linear bearings, clamps, and rods for a project on amazon and the came from vevor. The parts seem to be solid. Real nice for the price.

There's a certain amount of chinesium that comes with communicating with them when there are problems, but I've found that if you're persistent enough and sometimes resort to threats, they'll eventually cave and just refund you or send a replacement.

Example: I ordered this this set of skid steer latches and a weld-on adapter plate. I only needed the latches, but this was like $135 for the whole set and I'll eventually need an adapter for something.
The fitment was atrocious. They didn't even lock in to each other and trying the latches on any of my attachments, it was too tight to lock and the adapter on my tractor's latches would just slide around and I could pull it off by hand with the latches engaged. :laughing:

I went back and forth with them with pictures and they kept telling me I'd have to pay to the return shipping if I changed my mind about buying it. I finally uploaded a video to youtube showing how shitty they were and told them I'd be sharing it with the entire internet. They refunded my $135. :lmao:

I honestly don't know how they do it - if they're just doing the Carvana thing and taking a loss for years to undercut any competition, but I couldn't even ship these back for the $135 I paid DELIVERED.

I currently have a ticket open with them. I ordered a strapping kit and an extra roll of strapping that was supposed to come with 100 buckles. Showed up yesterday. No buckles in the box. I sent them a pic of the box I received and a screenshot of the item info from their site showing the buckles. They "have a technician looking in to it" and will be back to me within a few days. I'll probably end up getting these for free too. :laughing:

Some of their stuff looks like it`s name brand stuff in their own packaging, their impact sockets look suspiciously like Grey Pneumatic sockets and I love mine.

Pretty sure it is the same stuff just rebranded. Allegedly yeti mugs and walmarts ozark trail mugs were made in the same factory on the same line just different impression rollers

Pretty much my thoughts exactly, thought the electric griddle I've got from them is pretty badass. If it lasts at least 3 years I'm good with buying a new one in that time frame for how good it works. :smokin:
 
I bought a few things from them with zero issues so far. The 4'x2'x6 metal shelves were half the price of buying local shipped to my door and way nicer. Shipping was fast too!
