Thread: Anyone brought optics from varuste.net?

Are they legitimate?

Also has anything major changed in the import process in the last 5 years? Seems everything get hit with GST now but is that at point of entry or the other end?

Have used the website for buying a pack, definitely legit.

I believe Ian from Forgotten Weapons did a video showing their warehouse and offices. I think they are quite a big deal over in Finland.

Yep, ordered a bit of stuff the last couple of years. Boots, optics, clothing. Can’t get meindl boots from them anymore as people were skiting/bragging on line what they bought them for compared to here which is a pity, same happened for one of the optics companies. Service is great and quick delivery.

email them directly. Ask politely and ye shall receive ....

Bought in 2 scopes recently (Optics Warehouse, UK).
First one was $865 and arrived quickly and safely. No Customs worries, no GST, no fees.
Second scope was $1900 and it too arrived quickly and safely.
But because of the $$ this one attracted Customs fees and GST.
Still worked out cheaper than NZ price and that scope wasn't currently available in NZ at that time (still isn't).
Keep under the $1000 for the product and shipping and it should all just sail straight through.
