Thread: Fark me... Opticzone shipping fees

Now I've been a long term customer of Opticzone (and spent thousands $ over the last 7-8 years with them), but these fees are outrageous.
There is certainly no call to ban the export of scopes and mounts as part of the 'Gun ban', so why the rip off prices? Price gouging by dealers 'because they can' at the mo in US of A?

All US $

Leupold Mark 2 IMS 1" Integral Mounting System, Matte $92.99
Shipping $43.95
International surcharge $2.74
Total Price $139.68

Now I would expect to pay those shipping fees for a scope, due the fragile nature, volume and weight.
But for a one piece scope mount?

FFS.

With the NZ $ being high, it still would work out at approx NZ $170.

Reloaders sell the same mount for $199. So I'll be spending my $ locally methinks!
