How can this floor jack be so cheap?

[pixelzombie]

The Arcan 3 Ton Professional sells for $144 on amazon but it's only $59 on this site: https://www.kiconic.com/jack

That seems too good to be true.

Yeah man...I agree with you here. Is it used? Does it cost to be member of that site?

I was going to place an order as paypal is very good when it comes to scam sites. When I run it through this site, it only gives it a trust score of 2% (Google has a 99% score).

They don't even sell washers for that cheap. Someone must've mislabeled that one.

That looks like Harbor Frieghts one and half tone that sells for $59 on sale. You do realize thats straight out of the Factory in China click on their contact it goes to an address in China.
All those jacks the Arcan and the Harbor Freights come out of the same factory. That is just someone backdooring the Arcan lol. It’s well known that if you don’t have strong binding contract with the Chinese they will back door the stuff they are making for you.

Thats why you have to own the factory and write strict binding contracts.
Hell my friend told me about how Siemens came to Shanghei years ago signed a loose contract with the Chinese to manufacture for them for 10 years. Then the Chinese kicked Siemens out of the factory after 10 years because the contract was too loose and started making the product themselves lol.
Its totally the wild west of manufacturing over there.

Nope not mislabeled....Retail stores do this type of stuff to move Old product in a snap and take a loss. Then they put out and New relabeled item to sell in its place that's the same thing just a different box and SKU#...CRAY CRAY!

Its either a scam, or a knockoff from china. All they sell is wallets/handbags/easily made fakes. I would never get under a car trusting it lol.

 

[TyphoonFiST]

I NEVER GET UNDER A CAR TRUSTING ANYTHING HYDRAULIC....PERIOD. The only thing I use Hydraulic jacks for is putting up the car and putting it down on jack stands.

How much is shipping? it is straight from China so I don't think it's a scam.
I would go for it if you're interested. Use a credit card or something that you can get your money back if it goes wrong.

I'm going with scam - the site is only two months old.

IIRC from way back in my retail days, that was how corporate would mark things for disposal. You ring them out, essentially no revenue is recorded, but the inventory is removed, so it works out for taxes. I suppose if you still have the floor space, why not let them sell for a penny instead of destroying them and putting them in a dumpster? Get some happy customers.

Looks like a scam, but these jacks are available for less than at harbor freight FYI

Example:

I use the 1.5 ton low profile Harbor Freight jack. Normally at $79.99 but goes on sale to $59.99 frequently.

Just because something is sold on AMAZON doesn't mean it's the low price. Two examples ..

I was looking at Video Cards a while back. From the manufacturer it was $XXX.XX but from Amazon it was 1.5 (XXX.XX)..

Last week I was looking at grow lights (for my tomatoes). At Lowe's it was $40. I double checked Amazon. Same light $84.

Same thing with Costco. Just because they sell it doesn't make it the lowest price.

Got it on sale, $30 less......$110 + tax.

I also have the earlier model cross-beam that I got tax free in DE, 20% off and I can lift the whole side of the Mahzdur 5 and swap to and from winter setup.

If you guys browse Harbor Freight periodically, check out HFQPDB.com. They have all the coupons. You can print them out and use in store. Or have the cashier scan directly from your phone.

I looked at slick deals and thought the Pittsburg 3 Ton Low Profile Floor Jack would be a good buy for $59 but it's another chinese site. Pittsburg Jack

Costco has a 2.5 ton Arcan low profile that is looking very good right about now for $113.

That Jack Cross Beam looks very cool. How well does it work with a FiST?
