WW shipping and $NZ pricing.
Holy heck
Is it just me or are the Leica trinovid 10x42 really good buying? !

Their pricing is really sharp. Just stumbled across them after @MSL got me looking at the S&B ultra short.
Looked there when buying my binos but ended up buying local for peace of mind.
Yes...plus tax on import. Peace of mind is a worth paying a little extra for.
Is it just me or do the prices seem steep compared to NZ prices? Looking at Leupold and Bushnell scopes at best I am only saving $50-$100 after tax and shipping?
Not sure...but given they are euro probably best to compare euro made scopes?
Their international freight is pricy though. If I am reading it correctly it is 50 to 70 Euros to "The rest of the world". Add 50 Euros to those prices and it is only the really expensive scopes that are economical and those will attract GST as well ....

Their prices do look good though so if their shiping was able to be reduced it could work out well.
I currently have an order in with them, only because I could not find anyone that would export from the states.
When I bought it was on the item a 2 to 4 week before it would be instock and shipped.
4 weeks is up tomorrow, so will have to wait and see.
I did get one automated email at 21 days saying apologies for the delay and that your item should ship within 3 weeks.
Being cheeky I emailed asking them to upgrade to faster shipping.
I'll post here when it's shipped and arrived.
PS Bank actually got in touch, thought it might have been a dodgy transaction and they did block my card.
Interestingly their address appears to be a house: https://www.google.co.nz/maps/place/...4!4d15.5879641
They do have a good reputation on the net.
Their website would be one of the best I have come across. Wealth of info, incl video clip of product. Definitely credible.
Especially given your last experience.Quote:

Yes.
The SSL Labs Server Test for the site is an A which is equivalent to our banks. Most of our local gun shop sites rate at F.
they got cheaper everywhere but here when they stopped making that line in germany to cut costsQuote:

I use eurooptic.com , prices are excellent and been great to deal with.
Ok, scope I wanted didn't come into stock after 30 days.
They offered a full refund
or refund the shipping and ship scope when it does arrive and include a gift
or Upgrade to a better scope.
I chose the upgrade, so got a Vortex Viper PST 1x4 for $580NZ including shipping. Retail here seems to be $1 to $1.1k so seems like a pretty good deal.
Tracked shipping with EMS was quick and accurate info. As per standard with the mongolian clusterf**k that is NZ shipping logistics the scope got from Slovenia to Auckland faster than it got from Auckland to Dunedin, and that's including removing the time it took to clear customs.
Somehow I didn't manage to attract GST either, so that was a bonus.
So big thumbs up to Optics-Trade, I'll be using them again.
Hello
My name is Scott an I am new to the forum.I came across this thread doing a search about optics trade eu and decided to make my first post here to share my experience with this online company.
I ordered a scope 5 weeks ago it said on the web site it would be 1 to 2 weeks before they received it and shipped to me from then.However after about 4 days I received an Email saying it would now be 1 month to delivery which was fine with me.
5 weeks passed so i emailed them again and have now been informed it will be another 4 to 8 weeks away which its a bit s**t really if I had known it would that long I probably would not have bothered.
I am sure they are a reputable online company but probably a small company so low on the priority list when dealing with manufactures so things take longer.
Something to think about before you order with them or a similar company.
Any way there it is
Welcome to the Forum Scott
What scope did you order?
Thank you 7mmsaum
The scope i ordered is a IOR 3-18
I am not sure why its going to take so long given geographically optics trade and the IOR factory are not far away from each other.
Anyone bought from these guys recently?
Plus freightQuote:

Or better still via me for 15% less than NZ RRP
Actually - $1495 from me
So way more than 15%
Again - ask me 1stQuote:

Sort of part of a series of odd quirks on here... I love the community here but this forum is definitely a bit odd in its settings, which leads to some odd behaviors, especially from newbies who get blindsided by the site settings.Quote:

He is right actually about Google searchesQuote:
