    What did you order?
    Seem to recall someone posting Mk4's are not available ex US anymore.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Probably a distribution deal where they are not allowed to ship outside of US by Leupold.

    Yes as per Stug. Been in place for ages but a lot of them don't abide. Maybe Leupold is now yelling a bit louder. Try Jon @ Opticzone - they generally have the best prices at anyrate.

    They remade Lost in Space in 1998 but maybe that still shows that I am old.

    Well whilst they haven't shipped, they still took my money. Hoping for a quick refund.

    I've had to jump hoops before with Optics Planet Re: trying to use a freight forwarder (youcrap) and ITAR.
    Phoning them was extremely beneficial and cleared things up immediately, had to wear their freight though in the end.
    Wasn't a leupold product however.

    He told me the VX6 (older model); as its now called, can be shipped to NZ no worries.
    MK4 no can do and he was definitely a bit cagey about other Leupold products for some reason including the new VX6.
