Thread: How long is the wait for a scope from USA

I baught a scope a week or more back and It got me wondering, what is the wait time for a scope coming over from the states?
The optics Zone is the sender, If that makes a difference.

what are we talking a 4-5 week wait?

10-14 days

Excellent.

Depends how long it is in customs........

Yeah customs have been super shit lately.

Bought one eight months ago and it took just over a week.

progressing nicely, fingers crossed there is no hickups with customs

I waited 6 working days for my last one from the US to hit customs, it's been there since tuesday
if I get it this coming monday it will take exactly the same time to travel from Auckland to me as it does from Missouri, if I don't well....

Well at least our scopes will have each others company mine is also sitting there too

I placed an order from the states on november 5 our time and it turned up yesterday. It wasnt liable for gst though, i would add another 3 days onto it if it was.

Hi all

Are scopes over $400nzd liable for GST? What's the rules on it?

Unless you buy one under 1000 AUD, and have a friend in Australia who's coming home soon.

There is ways around it but if you get caught doing it you can get in the poo.

So you buy from Aus and not the States? I have only looked at the states so far and I know you can be charged GST when an item is over $400nzd. Although some items are not susceptible to this GST.

Have it sent to your mate on Aus from the states, as their GST threshold is 1000AUD. My father may or may not have been working in Aus for sometime last year.
