the pads are awful had some they are the equivalent to like £20 ones in england, they are shocking and are not like sub zeros at all

Post by: musama91 on October 27, 2009, 11:06:39 PM: you said you were loving the stuff so far :-\ the only thing which looks different to the sub zero pads here is the knee protection. There isnt a knee locator like in the kookaburra and gm pads but its more like the rubbish knee protection used in all the gn pads (although the new ones dont have them anymore!)

on the plus side, those sub zero stickers are the best i have seen. The colours are more vibrant dont you think?. Btw can we have more close ups of the gloves please?

Post by: musama91 on October 28, 2009, 01:36:10 AM: hey I believe you! notice i talked about the things which looked different as opposed to things which were different. obviously you know better. are you sure that the pads are that bad or are you saying all that out of frustration? would you recommend online stockist?
Title: Re: Kookaburra Sub Zero Kit - From OnlineStockist
Post by: cd0070 on October 28, 2009, 03:46:41 AM: Everything including shipping totaled out to be US $335.. Which is a bargain considering the fact the Sub Zero bat itself sells for 310+shipping in the US. And thats the cheapest I've found.. I can't complain about the bat quality at all... I have the H4L Pads and Gloves which are much better IMO.. I would totally recommend OnlineStockist.. Shipping was fairly quick even considering the holiday season in India.. For the price of the gloves and pads you can't complain much..

Post by: SAF Bats on October 28, 2009, 10:10:13 AM: Think about this for a scenario.... You're based in India and want to sell kit...

You buy kit that is for the Indian domestic market but advertise it at the international price's but slashed in price. Not so much of a bargain now if you thought that might be happening
Title: Re: Kookaburra Sub Zero Kit - From OnlineStockist
Post by: cd0070 on October 28, 2009, 10:55:02 AM: My biggest item to purchase was a bat..Which I have no complains about what so ever as promised and as advertised the bat is the same quality as the the ones sold on the UK and Aussie market.. Now think about this like I mentioned for me to buy a SUB Zero in the US is about 310-320.. But for 335 I got a bat, pads and gloves.. So for $15 roughly 10GBP I get pads and gloves included.. Thats still an amazing bargain..

And its not like these pads and gloves are total trash, they just aren't what Aidy thought he was getting.. Am I right Aidy?? Ya if I thought I was getting a BMW with a Navigation system and ended up getting one without it would it mean that the one with out it is trash??

Plus OnlineStockist site never claimed to be selling the UK/Aussie market pads.. So in order to get a good deal a little risk has to be taken I guess.. Plus if some1 is that worried about it ask them to send you a pic of the product before you agree to buy.. I did and they sent me bunch of pics and answered all my questions.. I would still keep buying from them without a doubt..

I guess with my part time job as a onlinsestockist sales representative is over for now so I shall get back to India's match..

I think you might be on to something! Seriously though, I think everyone knows that. Kookaburra are about 2/3 less in India. About the same as SG prices.

Post by: SAF Bats on October 28, 2009, 11:17:09 AM: So when they do this "~~£60 GBP~~ £26 GBP" and this "~~£240 GBP~~ £135 GBP" what does that imply?
Title: Re: Kookaburra Sub Zero Kit - From OnlineStockist
Post by: aidy1098 on October 28, 2009, 11:22:39 AM: right need some advice,

i have seen a kooka i want on online stiockist, however the new UK range is coming out and do u reckon if i get a indian one kookaburra will resticker it and refurbish as its indian?

Post by: cd0070 on October 28, 2009, 11:26:59 AM: I might be completely off on this, so if I am I apologize in advance..

The retail prices whether the products are made for the Indian market or the export market is the same?? ???

I mean I don't understand why a Sub-Zero bat and the gloves are the same?? So the only difference is the pads.. Could it be that the pads of that style are more acceptable in the Indian Market hence they carry them more??

Post by: musama91 on October 28, 2009, 09:57:40 PM: Hashim you should go to armie or talk to some wholesalers on alibaba.com. You can get some real cheap CA/Ihsan/MB stuff from these guys

They should but not only were they accepting orders of single items, they were also telling me that if I buy form them, they will send me loads of extras like wickets, balls and bat wax!

In fact I still have the price list for Ihsan, MB Malik and CA saved on my computer. If anyone wants a copy, pm me your email and I will send it to you

Post by: Tom on October 28, 2009, 11:32:44 PM: A lot of the bats sold on AliBaba are fake and the manufacturers are often not manufacturers. If you want cheap MB, Ihsan's etc try Armie.
