Buyer Beware of 4X4 Graphics.com

[Trigganometry]

Are you sure about that?
Most items that are for sale on a manufacture's website are also sold thru Amazon distribution by that same vendor. And many of the vendors are small businesses.
If I go to Gold Eagle website, 303 in a 32oz bottle is $30.99. If I go to the Gold Eagle store on Amazon, it's $20.50. And since I have Prime membership, free shipping whereas Gold Eagle is free
shipping over $50.

I’ll counter that though. Some items are more expensive on Amazon than elsewhere. So do you homework before you go that route only. For me, most of the stuff on Amazon is from China. I refuse to by Chinese crap if at all possible. If everyone else did the same the world would be a different place right now. Your comfort and convenience does have an additional price attached to it

Not only that, Amazon doesn't just have "one" price. Depending on a variety of factors the price they quote you can change. I'm not sure what all the variables are, but they definitely tailor pricing based on a number of factors.

And I've absolutely found things on Amazon that are more expensive than elsewhere. Buyer beware.....

I've seen so many posts here where some will say how much they dislike corporate America and rich people yet they continue to feed Bezos all their money. lol

Ah the classic, "Buy American, support local! Don't give these Chinese money!" - but posted from their iPhone, while wearing their from China cloths, while sitting in their home being cooled by their Chinese part constructed air conditioner.

While I respect your attaching the caveat "when possible" - my question is "Why?"

It is like fighting a wave in the ocean. It is fruitless, does not benefit you, and sooner or later makes you look silly right?

Whats next? Avoiding Indian products? Japanese? Taiwanese? Korean?

Even "made in America" aka ASSEMBLED IN AMERICA products almost always contain foreign build materials on some level, but we too like to deceive our own *COUGH OFF ROAD LIGHT COMPANIES COUGH COUGH*

We live in a global market world - out of all the things to stress over or consider - strike this one off your list and move onto something else.

That's right I'll support ANYTHING made in the USA than in China! It's almost impossible to not buy something made in China today because our politicians have sold us out! But there are MANY alternatives to using cheap Chicom junk. But you're the same one who always rants about hating corporate America and rich guys yet support Bezos so continue to be part of the problem and NOT the solution.

i thought this thread was about decals? lol

also for anyone wondering not all decals work with the wet method! a lot of dirtbike and motercycle graphics will get ruined with the wet method so they recommend it clean and dry and to use heat. the company i went with (skda) recommends it for install to use heat and not the wet method so before installing it make sure to look it over or contact the supplier


and since we talking about where its made my kit is from Australia ?

Your argument is a logical fallacy as both concepts do not have to be mutually exclusive. I dislike our dependence on foreign products to even have a basic function in day to day life, but at the same time I am not going to virtue signal about it.

Save me the soap box, it has no consideration, as such statements on such topics are empty and void of realism.

Edit: Also, I don't recall rants about rich people or corporations as they pertain to this subject matter.

1st highlight: I agree, but Amazon shows you cheaper options.

2nd highlight: Most things bought on any website, even if it's the OEM, is most likely China made, especially when it comes to most things electronic.

3rd highlight: We had a President a few years ago that wanted to bring a lot of foreign manufacturing back to the US. He was called a bigot, racist and xenophobe. I'm sure there were aspects to that that were shady behind the scenes.
