Looking to buy a Burris scope from OpticsPlanet.com. Seems legit -- has anyone ever done business with them?

 

[ultimate_monkey]

legit yes, but 99% of every thing on the site isnt eligible for export... if you try to order and they cant ship you will receive an email

 

[Longshot84]

I've checked out a few scopes on their site, but I believe because they're based in the US, ITAR prevents them from exporting to Canada.

How do you get it across the border?? They don't ship optics to Canada!

I believe they are legit but getting something shipped to Canada appears to be really difficult a lot of times

They're fine to deal with, Bought a sling and mounts from them before our money became bunk.

Go with 4scopes.com if you really must order stateside. Lebaron.ca has a good selection of Burris btw. Given the exchange rate, you would have to be getting a considerable deal in the states to be worth it I would think.

^^^ Great advice not many deals down south when you take into account the exchange.. check the EE sometimes there are actually good deals available.

Itar is a $35 fee that covers up to $1000 of export. Just tell them u r in canada and they will take care of the paperwork. Not hard.

they also run different companies. one of then is Dvor.com they have sales all the time. i tried to buy a gun case and a torque wrench on sale once, wont ship due to ITAR. my buddy couldnt even buy a knife. they just wont have anything to do with out of country sales to cover their ass

It is a pretty good price on the Burris 5x AR-536 scope but I haven't pulled the trigger on the order yet over the ITAR concern. I guess that answers my question. Ah well...

This is not the case. Opticsplanet.com will not ship any optic with a reticle to Canada, period...or any other itar prohibited item for that matter.

Great company to deal with. They will ship spotting scopes and tripods to Canada.

 

[Gunneegoogoo]

Not only will they not ship to Canada, they won't sell to you if you use a non US credit card.

I have bought cases and non-ITAR accessories.

They are a very legit.

Try Brandon optics. They have good selection of Burris and a lot of other scope types. They're out of BC. Fair prices.

Thanks mate!

Lots of Burris stuff on Amazon.ca as well.

I've purchased lots of stuff from opticsplanet, just not any optics.

$50 to import an optic. Seems fair to this guy

I would not recommend Brandon Optics. I ordered a scope from them that was shown in stock on the website, they took my money, then a day later told me they were out of stock and would not be getting any more. They took 2 weeks to refund my money.

As for Optics Planet, don't waste your time, I once tried to order a Maxpedition pouch from Optics Planet and they refused to ship it to Canada!
