Arrived today. Does what I want. £2.69. That’s fine.

Mine too, hundredths of an inch, tenths of a mm, power on/off. Bit delicate but I'm only going to use it two or three times a year! Seems fine to me

Never mind your wizened little tadger, where is the NGD for the Retrospec? We are waiting....

I received my two pairs of callipers today. Being made of plastic they’re not the most robust of tools but they’re reasonably accurate when checked against some old manual ones and each other. I’m pretty happy with them, they’re just what I want for diy use.

+1,

I took mine in to the Calibration Lab in work and got them to check out the accuracy. From 0-4", which was the range I'm  interested in,  accuracy stayed under .001" variance. How long it stays that way is of course subject to use but I reckon handle with care and they should be good for a couple of years at least.

BTW, delivery time was 9 days, which seems pretty fair.

Yes

Mine arrived.

It's ok but that's all. It feels flimsy and the 'Auto-On' feature is annoying but it does what a ruler can't so for now it's ok.

I'll get a proper one at the end of the month !

Aldi or possible Lidl (can't remember) have decent metal versions in a case for £7.99 at the moment.

It"s Aldi from tomorrow.

So I ordered one of these on the 24th Feb, delivery due between 13th & 22nd March. Hasn't turned up. When I report the issue on Amazon, I get the a message telling me I can't report the issue because: 
"this order is not eligible for a refund under the A-to-z Guarantee because 3 days have not yet passed since the maximum estimated delivery or the item does not yet show as delivered."

Huh? 22nd to 28th is less than 3 days? Didn't realise I could despise Amazon more than I already did.

Same for me. Due on 22nd, this was extended to the 25th. I haven’t bothered to check since. 
Bit of a joke that we can’t leave feedback or chase it up.

Me too.....I've not followed it up yet.

roberty

Oh no :-S maybe they will turn up

I still haven't got mine yet either... But seeing it's from China, and delivery is so cheap, I assume it's arriving by shipping container, which could take a month or two to arrive.
