Optics Planet

[Derek Vollbrecht]

Has anybody ever ordered off of optics planet before? If so how was it?

 

[Tom E Gun]

They don't ship to Canada

Threads done.

yes they do, they r good to deal with.

Did they change their policy recently? Because I have tried to order from them on 2 different occasions and they would not ship to me in Canada. Once was a scope, so that was not allowed because of ITAR, but the second time it was just a Maxpedition pouch, and they refused to ship that as well. I tried ordering the pouch and having it delivered to a US address and they even refused to do that.

I ordered an electronic powder dispenser from them but never optics.. transaction was smooth.

Ok thanks for the input I'll give them a try. They appear to have good prices especially on their red dots

They don't ship rifle scopes to us up here. But they do ship spotting scopes. It was a smooth transaction.

 

[Derek Vollbrecht]

Can anyone give my a website like optics planet that does ship to Canada or is in Canada

 

[Magellann]

Try Amazon.ca or aliexpress, they ship to Canada.

I lot of U.S. suppliers don't bother to get the required export paper work so it becomes frustrating to buy..

Lots of companies restrict online retailers from shipping to Canada so as not to compete with their Canadian distributor. It could be that Maxpedition is one of those companies.

Aliexpress is as bad as it can get for buying optics - no warranty and inferior quality. You have no chance getting your money back even if they send you a non functioning product.

4scopes.com ships to Canada unless things have changed

They still do - here's a link to their FAQ page with subject "How do I import a rifle scope from the United States?" with the information entry date of June 2014 (fairly recent)
