I just purchased a grip from Rink and the USD/Euro conversion is almost 1:1 right now. Good time if you want to order something from Europe.
Now is the time to buy stuff from the EU
- Thread starter ctshooter
- Start date
Same with purchases from Britain, lowest it’s been in a long time, unfortunately there are shortages of items due to Europe’s energy crisis.

Thanks for the reminder, need to check out Krale site. Don’t “need” anything but I’m sure I’ll find something I “need”.

It depends, they are cheaper usually and shipping isn’t bad if you spend more than 50 bucks or don’t order something something really heavy/bulky.

If only it was the exchange rate, but it is always taxes that kill my shopping in the UK / US, and if its small things the insulting large handling fee the shipping companies are allowed to take for handling the tax / customs,
I saw someone in here write that shopping at Krale, you had to be mindful to not get too heavy on your orders, but stay under the cut weight and you should be able to get good stuff in at a reasonable price.

Shipping from UK isn't bad if you use Royal mail International Standard post. But most retailers want tracked and signed for. And the mailman here never asks for signatures. They just leave it on the porch anyway. And I don't usually trifle over tracking. Handling fees are another matter but you get that here too.
Forget eBag Global shipping. It's absurd.

I'm twitchy about ordering anything shooting related if it has to go through US Customs.. But I also do medieval reenacting and all the best stuff comes from Europe. Time to looking into new 15th century stuff...

Shipping anything airmail is OK ish, but shipping surface = containers is a no bueno.
Last month I bought a nice cyclecross bicycle from Germany - to Canada. Two weeks they could not sort out the freight, the delivery would be about two months, I ended up cancelling the order and bought one locally just an average.

This last month Usps disappeared a Bsa gold star edition - a required signature and a small insurance fee would most likely have prevented the loss. Additionally a postal agent, who was being nice ? signed for a package she left on my porch - which I never received - I’ve been refunded but she’s probably in hot water for a forgery.
