Snowpeak Preordered my MAX1
- Thread starter SpindleB
- Start date
I can’t imagine the max 1 not being a hit right out of the gate.
Economics not caution is stopping me.

Why would tariffs even be a thing. These rides are made in china, not canukistan. What am I missing here?

I had been told they were going to come in through California. That was wrong.
But there is a 20% tariff on goods from Canada. Wes has to ship to Texas where they will be dispersed to the pre-orders in the US.

Hi Guys! I was told by Megan at Snowpeak on Sunday they were trucking the shipment to Ningbo port this past Monday to be ready to load on the container. Been tons of delays so I am getting a bit weary but it was good to hear something is happening. I want to really thank those that have been waiting for forever. Thank you for hanging in there! I will be sending an update by email once I hear they are on the way. I am also exploring another avenue to avoid the tariffs altogether. I heard from my brother a few weeks ago and he was talking with a shipping broker friend that said USPS is not set up for handling all the packages with tariffs owed, and so they have been keeping the $800 exemption on packages coming in by USPS for shipments from Canada. I tested it out with a few rifle scopes and so far no one has paid tariffs on Chinese goods sending it by Canada post which gets handed off to USPS. When i send it by UPS then they get a huge bill, so I am keen to try sending an air rifle canada post/USPS to see if that holds true on bigger packages like air rifles that are under $800. If that is the case then I can send everything from here tariff free and that would sure be good, getting the rifles to everyone faster and saving a ton of money instead of sending to Texas to be reshipped. I'll update what I find out once I get a chance to try it.
Thanks
Wes

Thanks! In regards to the Max, it won't have a built in moderator so one will need to be added. I do have Moderators coming. I found out just today that the Max has a different magazine than the M60 and Zelos, so that is bad news. I had asked several times but I guess the question got missed by Snowpeak and they finally let me know after the shipment was already shipped out so now I am trying to arrange shipment of those mags separately for guys that want spares. I will also send Maple Products a mag as soon as I get the rifles so he can get these developed and ready for sale in his design. If you haven't tried maple mags yet they are a great mag, easy to load and easy on pellets so I appreciate his work and products.

Probably needs a mag that can take longer slugs. Updates on the MAX moderators?
Hopefully 1/2-20 thread.

I may be wrong, but from the video the magazines do look like the m60/zelos mags. Also from the video to me anyway it seems that the lower air cylinder is like on the zelos/m60 and therefore removeable. This means that you should be able to add a bottle but may need an adapter line the one on the notos that drops down to allow for clearance.

Anything you want/would be willing to trade for one? The space between the barrel/air tube seems smaller here than the m60/zelos because of the extra air reservoir. Only a few weeks to go before we can stop hypothesizing
