Which Countries ship spearguns and gear to the US?
Hello Y'all,
So basically, I have come to realize that some companies in certain countries carry the same products I usually buy but for far less of a cost. I will use an example to further explain: DiveFactory.co.za is a South African based company that carries and sells Rob Allen products for more than half the price compared to companies in the USA on the same exact products. However, This company DiveFactory ,for example, does not ship to the US. I have come across this issue with several other foreign companies that do not ship spearguns to the US. It's kind of annoying that because I live in the US all the companies here mark up the prices a few hundred dollars to earn a crazy profit. While other companies in other countries still earn a profit and provide a fair price for the product. I guess its capitalism at its very-core lol So my question is: does anyone know any company that carries well-known brands at half the costs and can ship to the US? Or is there a loophole that someone knows on how to get Spearguns into the US? (Or gear in general) I have come across several websites that sell $500USD spearguns for $100USD. I just need to get them to me in Miami, Florida, USA I would greatly appreciate this information! Thank you! Cheers!

Re: Which Countries ship spearguns and gear to the US?
Hey,
I realize this is an old thread but since you didn't get a response I figured you might still be interested. My understanding is that some but not all manufacturers only allow local dealers. Being that said, I have bought really nice gear from megasub.com . They are really nice to work with, ship to the US for reasonable prices (very long guns are expensive to ship, though) and back their products. Highly recommended! |
