    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Only had a quick look OP but this does not bode well at all if you're ordering from Ireland:
    NOTE: No guarantee delivery for overseas countries. Due to the different methods of the Postal Service between the United States Postal Service and other countries, we will not be responsible for the non-delivery of any equipment to any overseas country. We have been experiencing many problems with having to re-send equipment due to non delivery by the Postal Service of foreign countries. Once sent we will furnish a tracking number and you will just have to pray it gets there. It has gotten to the point that it is just to expensive to resent the equipment. Sorry

    I have spoken to this guy a few times. Nice guy but he doesn't run a huge business. He gets in old equipment and reconditions them back up to the required safety standards. Does an excellent job with them, most look new. Only thing is his deliveries are expensive and as he points out you are on your own if things go missing. There are other places out there that suit you better. If you know someone in the US you could always get him to send them there and get your friends pass them on and get them to get stuff insured.

    Out of interest who do you play for OP?

    What I never got with him is why he doesn't give you the option to give him the extra $25-$50 to insure the boxes he sends. USPS and UPS and Fedex give you the option to insure all boxes for a fee. They lose your stuff they payout on insurance especially when it is tracked. Out of interest how much did he quote you for delivery

    I would be happy to order there if paying extra for USPS insurance was an option. He quoted 126 dollars per box of 6 helmets and 101 dollars for a box with 4 shoulder pad sets

    Ring him and ask him about the insurance. For the two boxes to insure the contents of each box is no more than $20 for each box going by the USPS website based on the cost of the contents. He should be well capable of adding that to the cost to be honest.
