Hey guys I’m trying to bring a new scope from optics planet in the states.
Does anywhere know of ways to get it here???. They keep saying it’s prohibited to leave the county.
Your help would be much appreciated 😎

Depending on the scope optics planet and others will but they're a little more delicate with regards to not even taking risks with restricted/ITAR items of the same brand.
You can have them shipped to international brokers but will then pay through the nose.

Freight forwarders are usually a pain in the ass and not worth the hassle I agree.
Optics zone have been good to deal with. No hassles there.
Yes - did a dummy (no pun intended) run on this site on a Magnus ScopeQuote:

Strange - because others that I tried (mind you was 12-15 months ago) stated "will not export outside USA or Canada (I think Canada was an exception)
Mind you the Magnus Scope would have cost over 5K time US$ converted and customs and GST paid on entry - not a cheap option
Yeah sometimes depending on what it is the savings aren't huge and personally not worth it just to save a few quid and run a kiwi company under.Quote:

SWFA is one, and apparently they now ship direct to NZ.
I think this is where people get a bit frustrated with buying locally. As sometimes it seems that kiwi companies are trying to make their millions off of a single sale, whether that be true or not is only sometimes the case.
NZ dollar is shit for buying from US at the moment, VX5 HD 3-15 is currently US$1306 on theriflescopestore.com which is $1899 here. They're cheaper locally.
Yeah shit dollar and they're not often the cheapest place.Quote:

Sucks because Mrs is going home to Uruguay in February and we have been wanting to buy a house over there so everytime we go we try take US$10k cash to squirrel away and save bank transfer fees etc but there's no way I'm changing nzd for usd at the moment unless there's a major change soonQuote:
