Expect here
Just checked these out. The white fantasy 200 amp AC/DC set looks similar to t Sherman/jasic the top control panel in particular, but the cable connections are in a different place.Expect here
I bought it direct from the Polish distributor Fachowiec. They have a decent web shop and were happy to ship to the uk (note - this was back in Nov so pre - leaving the EU nonsense, may be different now)
Just dug out the receipt and the model is a Welder Fantasy Lux Tig 202 ac/dc. Paid 1950zl plus 250zl for the pedal, plus 120zl for DHL tracked delivery.
fachowiec.com for those that may want to follow in my foolhardy footsteps!

And for the poster that commented above that the connections are in different places - yes the plastic front panel has a slightly different layout to the Sherman. The connections are cabled to the boards inside, and the layout and appearance of the boards is identical to those photographed early in this thread. The case is cheaper, there’s less protection against ingress of swarf etc as none of that nice rubber backing between the boards and the case, but you get what you pay for. Functionally identical. Menus, parameters etc all the same as a Jasic.

A consignment from Poland has just arrived, strapped up with "Border Force" tape. I anticipate a VAT, Customs & Admin fee Invoice will arrive shortly, but nothing yet....

Bill from Fedex (VAT and admin) £76.98
Total cost therefore, (Welder, pedal, shipping to UK, UK VAT, Admin fee) = £652

Out of curiosity I just checked back to see how much mine was back in September last year; I bought the Sherman TIG 206P for £452.07 and a few weeks later the pedal for £48.73 - total of £500.80.

50% increase in steel + timber + building products already, in the last couple of months.
That is going to have a big knock-on effect.

It's easy to believe the price has gone up since the demand has also gone up now the secret is out that it's a rebaged model ;-) STILL much cheaper than one in an orange box. So much so, that the orange box one is at a different market. I wouldn't be buying an AC TIG at orange box prices, only at blue box prices.

As a rebaged model i don´t know because rebaged model its 99% equal only change the colour and badge. The important thing is that it works. Still want to know why Altintas sold the sherman and bought the razor for the double cost of the blue machine.
Hello, has anyone ordered one of these post brexit from Poland? Found a few sites that are happy to ship to the UK, but their sites do not remove the VAT when you select UK as a shipping address which surely means you will end up paying VAT twice?

It's a new thing, I think: you pay the VAT to the exporter, so no further tax/duty to be paid upon entry to the UK
Banggood/AliExpress are doing the same.
