International orders
Submitted by Samo76 on Tue, 2009-12-08 09:47
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience good or bad with ordering gear online, which sites are best? and how much are you up for taxes, shipping etc?

I've been buying hooks,
I've been buying hooks, line, cameras and a few other bits and pieces and it's always cheaper, I use ebay for most of my gear as it's usually pretty quick coming from over seas, especially Great Britain were it took 6 days for some things recently. My new camera I bought took 4 working days from Hong Kong and that arrived yesterday by courier.
Postage is usually $20 - $25 there abouts for most stuff, and it still works out cheaper. Haven't had any issues, especially with eBay as they offer plenty of protection if you use paypal for your orders.
Cheers

Yep saved hundreds on gear lately buying from the US! Ebay is great but also google search some of the US based online stores as they can have some great specials!
