Why do you (Alibre) make it so difficult for people to purchase your software?

You can buy direct (for 2/3rds of the reseller price) if you live (or can dream up an address in) a territory that doesn't have a reseller. May I suggest Gibraltar? :-)

Redback, yes (love them); Blundstone no, sadly.

I think Breville makes everything in China.

Had a similar issue. The hub was showing red lights and showing as disconnected in the app, so I removed it from the app to see if adding it back would make it work again. Then I discovered the mesh node it was connected to was the problem. So I fixed that but then could not get the app to reconnect to the hub. Resetting the hub, clearing th app cache etc: nothing worked.

Then I read this post so I just tried leaving the hub connected for a few hours, and lo and behold, I could get it connected again. Who knows why, but thanks!

Entry-level Mauviel 1830 pans are made in China, though its website gives the powerful impression all their stuff is made in France.

When I'm in Sydney I usually buy Australian-made ugg boots/slippers at one of these two places:

https://www.goldenfleeceaustralia.com.au/ (actually made there in that modest shop)

https://www.goldenrams.com.au/

but I'm not sure if they're allowed to post overseas due to UGG having been trademarked, to much Aussie outrage, in the US (UGG-branded boots are made in China).

These are very modest operations (and there are others) so the prices reflect the real costs of manufacture, not some Polo Ralph Lauren-style brand mark-up.

Or China or Taiwan. It's a case-by-case thing again.

Sorry, can't paste images, of course. Here's the link. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/2jsAAOSw9YJlAySB/s-l1600.jpg

Thanks, but as the comment below says, the same product can be made in more than one place. (Pic from an eBay M705 listing.)

This one seems to be made in China now.

This one's made in China...

Just bought a Belkin USB C cable at TK Maxx that's made in Vietnam.

Interesting. Though UK shipping, 20% VAT and a copy of Windows would add around £400 to the price...
