List of shops to buy gear from overseas

After fishing around through the forum, it seems that a lot of people would like to know where others buy gear abroad that ship to NZ.
There could be many reasons to buy abroad but the 2 main and only ones i can think of are, its either not available in NZ or just to damn expensive.

So this thread is dedicated to those stores overseas that ship to NZ.
But before i continue on, like many i will say this "Buy locally first, within reason".
Maybe we can also have a local thread as well....an idea.

Problem with his thread is it is also a list of companies for nz distributors to complain about and ban sales to nz

If people fee that way, would you like me to get it taken down?

Let me know

Umm, last time we had info like this it caused issues. It's pretty easy to do your own research when trying to source gear overseas

Why, some of the overseas outfits sell items that are not available here/no local agency. So you are not bypassing a local joint at any rate.

Some of the savy local agencies stopped the horses bolting ages ago. You will find this (without quoting specifics) when you visit some American websites and find NZ specifically excluded from export. Also a lot of the manufacturers already protect their offshore agencies - Michaels Of Oregon (Butler Creek, Hoppes, Bore Snake and Stoney Point etc) is a good example. Some Brownells stuff is also not able to be exported as a condition of their supply from their sources. Again, due to the products in question having overseas agencies.

Posters are constantly providing links to their favoutite offshore bargain shops so nothing new.

Is there any issues at this end bringing in projectiles?

None that caught me out.

huntsmanfirearms.com.au

(remind them to take off the Aussie GST)

unfortunately protectionism means obscene prices and useless service. I still like to buy local when I can but it is usually the various parallel importers that give me the best deals. Just as well for places like Brownells or we would still be faced with $5000 bottom end ARs.

These guys are ok also:
https://www.dsarms.com

they also do the less than $100 deal for exports and $100 for the ITAR shit paper if you need. Haven't shipped anything for a while so cant comment on shipping costs.

I've got one on my bolt 22. Was wanting different for the semi.
Need a new scope for the 308 as well but bushnells out now.
Shame coz there trophys are good for a "cheap don't mind falling over in the kaimai's" scope

If you get a night force you won't mind falling over anywhere! :)

One of those would be good but the second phase of a30 06 project just popped up. Funds are a bit pre-spent right now

Some sites wont ship orders if the credit card address isn't US based. I wouldn't be so pissed if most NZ retailers didn't mark up so much.

It's a shame really;) I can't add to this list as I live in the U.K.
Just waiting in Dubai for the flight back after the 16.5 from Auckland :O_O:

I have helped a couple of blokes on this site....I have a US address as well....I get 75% off fedex shipping....I have a kiwi bank account...as long as its not too big,as post office shipping from here is cagey sometimes,....I believe I can help....PM me,we can talk

Maxim is brilliant to deal with. Although they wont ship directly from the states they will compile your order with their russian supplier and drop ship from there. 10 days later its on your door step. No state department crap and fees, no $100 gun parts limit, just good ole fashion service minus the bureaucracy. Go russia. Have bought in over a thousand bucks worth of stuff in the last month or so with no hassels.:thumbsup:

YouShop won't touch anything 'gun' related,....that includes scopes etc, don't even try.

Also applies to most freight forwarders that give you a US shipping address. Yes you can buy it, but they won't ship it. I sent a Zeiss Diavari to Kenton Industries to have dialable turrets fitted, and arranged my own shipping via Shipito....they refused to ship it and weren't going to ship it back to Kenton even though it was internal US shipping, and threatened to destroy it.

Best deal with a retailer that will ship.....I also found that some are wary about email enquiries....big brother etc.

One in particular, probably the largest supplier of Euro and high stuff couldn't have been more helpful over the phone.....

Anyone tried U-buy.co.nz? It appears they do sell and ship gun-related items via the US. I've only checked out scopes, scope mounts and vertical grips. Not interested in action parts as one can buy these things easily from Brownells instead.

Not firearm related but I have bought boots / shoes for hunting from Wiggle | Salomon X Ultra Mid 2 GTX Shoes | Fast Hike
Free shipping options available.
As an example a pair of boots that retail here "on sale" at Kathmandu for $310 are $137 delivered

Reloading related I have bought off Sinclairs a few times, but freight is spendy, also as mentioned BRT out of Aussie are good too.

I have a couple of pairs of salomons for shooting in, bought them off wiggle, would highly reccomend them as well. Can get them for a hundred bucks less than they retail here for. And shipping is free. Go try them on at katmandu to get a size and then feel realy good about how much youre going to save as you walk out of that overpriced shop :pacman:
