I know Balitas is supposedly shipping airguns to the US now..But if anyone has gotten one from there what was your experience? Krale asks for ID etc and ships super fast in my experiemce ... Anyone familiar with Balistas for airguns?

I see in this thread https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/taipan-veteran-ii-owners.1295465/page-3#post-1790669 that @0akhonor bought a Vet 2 from them. Maybe he'll have some comments.
I will add that I've only had one order with them, and it was accessories, but they packed very well, and I had it in a week or 10 days. They have the same parent company as Taipan.

Yes bullet project. As with Epic and Airgun Royal. I did see a few negative comments on trust pilot? But bad experiences always travel fast. I spoke with Oak yesterday and he said they were GTG. It probably take longer to get thing out of the CZ vs Krale in Netherlands. In fact they beat every airgun company for shipping in the USA every time I deal with Krale.

I ordered an AA S400 from them 2 days ago, the 4th.
Shipping was $39.00.
My AG seems to be moving accordingly

To add, no, they didn’t ask for my I.D.
Excellent communication as well.
I asked them when they would have the rifle in stock since it was still N/A on the last week of Nov. and the lady, Miss Miroslava, told me during TD that her order will arrive next week, Honestly, I was skeptical but there it was the following week
It’s a 12FPE unit, which is what I really want. Their AA S5 and S4 models are the UK version.

I’ve gotten 2 guns, barrels and pellets from them with only one glitch. Highly recommend them. Packaging was fine and nothing was damaged. Very prompt.

This was an old post of mine. I ordered right after I posted and got the item in a few days.To add, no, they didn’t ask for my I.D.

I live on the Aland Islands (Part of Finland) and they do not deliver here
I had to take the ferry to Turku to pick up my package which cost €150.
They used to deliver here but stopped for a to me unknown reason. Do note that it's been around 4 years since my last order so don't know if they deliver here nowdays.
Basically my location is an island and most postal companies see this location as a "remote location" so they don't want to deliver here even though there are many local transport companies that will forward the package for them.
Not sure how many locations in the US are considered "remote locations" but if you live in such a location you are probably already familiar with limitations or refusals from postal companies.

Good to know then
It’s my first time and may make a 2nd order if this goes well.
It took a total of 6 days, not bad
It stayed in Germany for 3 days, and I take it that Krale’s doesn’t make a sojourn in Alemanya that’s why they’re faster.

Thought I would add to this thread for those in the USA who are considering buying from Balistas in the Czech Republic.
First thing people ask about when ordering from out of country is about 'duty fees'. I can tell you I paid no duty fee for my delivery from Balistas.
I ordered a rifle from Balistas on 12/6 (Fri). It shipped on 12/10. Made it to Germany in a few days but then was stalled in Germany for ten days. Once it finally left Germany it landed in Kentucky and from there out to Oregon and in the truck to my rural Central Oregon home. Package was in my hands today (12/23) by Noon. 18-days from order to delivery during the busy holiday season is not too bad in my view.
Package was undamaged and the rifle was in perfect condition.
If you are considering ordering from Balistas to the US I would say it's a good risk..., at least from my experience.
