REQUEST:quechua pop-up tents

mcdonut

Hi Does anyone know where you can buy Quechua Tents online.They're on e-bay at a ridiculously inflated price(almost £80 sterling+expensive postage) as opposed to 60euro in france.I found a french website www.koodza.fr that sadly only delivers in france .
I reckon these tents would be great for the festival season,you shake them up in seconds(hopefully).
Thanks.

You can get them in Decathlon shops, they're called 2 second or 3 second tents. There are Decathlon shops in the UK and throughout europe, not in Ireland unfortunately, stuff is excellent.

I don't think lidl or aldi have ever stocked that particular brand of tent. http://seconds.quechua.com/EN/main.html

I have been looking to buy a quechua for over a year now and the only way I can figure out going about it is to get a friend to buy one in france or germany and post it over and its not worth the hassel for me to be honest.

It would be great though to see an Irish retailer stocking these.

I think that Millets do this type of tent, though not Quechua obviously but a different brand.

These are definitely a brand of Decathlon, have seen them in Spain:

These pop-up tents are a generic type, i.e. the mechanics of erectig them are the same for all brands. There are several models around and most are made in China, by the same factory, in fact. All are badged to the various big distributors in Europe. Try www.milletts.co.uk or www.campari.co.uk. You can also google and you will get all the European retailers there.

Decathlon used ship to Ireland. But they stopped a few years ago shortly after I placed an order which resulted in them ringing me and an excruciating conversation ensued in which my pidgin French was trying to explain the mechines of the AIB O-Card system [you may remember that this used to give one-time credit card numbers. Unfortunately like a few retailers Decathlon used check the validity by sending a 1p transaction and then they'd follow with the real transacton - by that stage the number was no longer valid so the card was declined. Now try explaining that in French.. ]

Quechua are to Decathlon what St Bernard are to Dunnes really. I doubt there's any way of buying other than from Decathlon, the one you're seeing on EBay will be some enterprising punter buying a bunch in a store and flogging them.

Pretty much all the Quechua stuff is really good quality, and great value. We went to Patagonia (region not shop) last year and went on pre trip shopping spree in Decathlon in Paris. Saved a fortune. It's usually easy to spot French people on holiday, as they're almost invariably wearing Quechua gear

You can get these in decathlon in Balfast Northern Ireland, great tents, if you are sleeping in them you need an inner part, and a ground sheet possibly
