tommy bhoys Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Sums that make sense eh tommy boy ... But then it just shows the almighty rip off in 203. Cost to produce just a few pence ... less than 5p each. And forever will be a rip off in real terms, which ever way you weigh it up. Maybe now so many are breeding to lose their birds the 'Rip off' excels every year. tell you what, many would love to have shares in the making and selling off! eh! J.M.O.do you know for a fact roland that it costs less than 5p each to make or is this just fake news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenlands Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Have you bought any or know anyone who has tried them?I only put the link up so we could compare the price of the rings,very doubtful they will work with the most common ETS's used in this country,then again they might work wit the ipigeon ?

gordon wilson Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Thanks Ryan as you know I am all for our members saving a pound or 2 if possible. Ryan I tried to buy from Unikon on there stand at the Spring Fair in Holland A few years ago and they refused and said they only supply unions ad to contact the SHU John Harvey in our own club bought 20 from the SHU last year when he joined but the club gave him a Tarus clock so I bought the rings still in the pack unopened . I could not get any of then to work and returned them to SHU . They were not convinced he bought them from them even after giving them the dates purchased and said they only handle them for Unikon and were not responsible for dud rings . to cut the story short and weeks after with no reply I pointed out to them they supplied them and they were the source to replace them I did finally get them but they were not pleased as they had many reports of bad rings bought on the internet all SHU rings have your loft number in it and I don't think anyone else can use them again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJWa Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 ets rule 13 only electronic rings purchased from SHU can be used with ets (why do you think they take you loft number when you purchase ets rings) clubs buy them from shu in batches of say 1000 then issue to members , your loft number goes on the ring when its allocated through your own clock , I think its an unworkable rule as when you buy a system you get 30 rings with it what are you supposed to do , discard the rings and cost yourself £45 to buy replacements through the shu ?
