Has anyone purchased Swarovski binoculars offshore via internet?
If so what store did you use, and was it a worthwhile exercise?
Also were the cost savings substantial enough?
Cheers

Saved a shit ton on what I could get them here for
It was a few years ago now , 7 or 8

Ended up buying a second hand set, very lightly used, from an individual in the USA. The cost was very reasonable.
Bought my EL Range binos off eBay.Quote:

I saved a ton. A US shipping address is handy for all sorts….
Have since been back to factory for a new range button, so no problem with warranty.

And a big ups to the local rep
