Thread: Overseas purchase arrived

Over a year ago I wanted to purchase a Vortex scope, the model I wanted was the Viper PST 6x24x50 EBR reticle. I was willing to buy it here but there were none in stock so I got on the net and placed an order with Optics Planet.
A couple of days after I placed my order they sent a return email saying they were out of stock and were expecting the scopes in soon. Well that turned out to be over 12 months but to there credit they regulary sent email updates.

They sent us an email about 3 weeks ago to say they had arrived and were shipping it to us, turned up last week while I was overseas, NZ Post and Customs had sent a letter telling me that I had to pay $180 dollars in tax and other charges, I did that and today my box turned up and the Dumb Fcks just left it sitting on the ground next to my letter box. All toll it cost me $2024.00 NZ.



Anyway I bought 2 x scopes
1 x scope cap
3 x sets of Vortex rings

Probably saved around $700
Going to put one of the scopes on one of my 300 win mags, not sure what the 2nd scope will sit on, will wait and see.
