Ordering a scope from Europe

weatherbyfoxer

Just wondering has anyone here order a scope from opticstrade.eu?..was there any problem get it shipped over with customs or taxes?

They are in Slovenia so no customs or tax issues.

I've bought three over the years and no problems. If in stock it takes about 3 to 6 days for delivery.

Bought 5 scopes off them over a number of years. Hassle free & great service

Just be wary of their shipping time, if item not in stock. I placed order on 13/06, and got message "ships in 1 month or more" and have still not received. ( I know 1 month or more leaves it open, but just be aware). I contacted the manufacturer and they stated no problems with supply to dealers

What's the attraction to this seller, price, or scopes that aren't available here, or both ?

Out of intetest, have you all found a particular bargain?

Word of mouth has probably got them business as a lot seem very happy with them, including myself. BREXIT has helped them a lot I'm sure as there are no taxes, customs or fuss. They do bipods, mounts and other stuff as well but never needed anything like that from them yet.

Like any seller they are not always cheaper but I've personally found in most cases that they are. I saved 300 a few years back compared to prices here for a S&B PM 2 and had it within a week, compared to an estimated wait here of several months as it was not in stock.

A vortex red dot was 40 cheaper on sale about 3 years ago.

I also bought a Sightmark red dot that wasn't on sale here.

I don't buy everything there. Recently bought a vortex viper as the price was good from a dealer here and they also had one in stock. I noticed it on their website and bought on line. On line is really where it is going to be in this industry as the years go by.

I've had the pleasure of dealing with them on a couple of occasions, cannot speak highly enough of them. Excellent customer service and as they're in the EU no extra taxes or charges. I'll certainly use them confidently again if the occasion arises.😊

The variety of different items makes them a one stop shop and with no customs and only 1 set of postage to be paid, they can work out cheap.

When you ordered did it state it was in stock? or did it state will be delivered in 1 month or more or something like that?. One thing I can say about them is that they will always contact you weekly to update you (even if the news is bad). Communications are 100%

Delivery within one month ordered on the 13th August. Lets see what happens.
