    WTF youshop!

    I've used youshop now for 2 years and very careful about what I use them for to avoid any complications. But now they refused to ship a wheeler FAT wrench because its "dangerous goods" WTF???

    Just buy that stuff off Ebay, it'll cost a touch more but if no-one in NZ stocks stuff it's still easier esp with shipping.

    Bad luck - 2 months ago I bought a FAT wrench and a big set of allen keys. All went through Youshop with no issues, despite them opening the package. You could argue that your intended use of the torque screwdriver has nothing to do with firearms. They f....n annoy me have knocked me back with some things that have no obvious gun connection but come via a gun accessories seller, again by playing their dangerous goods card. Also real annoying is their poxy ad on TV now.

    A lot of stuff, the Wheeler torque screwdriver included, most sellers will not sell out of the USA. @scottrods - u don't want to know how much I saved over the local rip off prices then?

    Good luck. I think they are over 100 buck onshore and I have a feeling that is without a case.

    I guess I'm lucky, all the stuff I buy off EBay I make sure the seller will, and does, ship internationally. But then I generally only end up buying stuff that simply isn't here in NZ at the time.

    I assume they class scopes as firearm accessories and won't ship them?

    You should have said it was a wheeler PHAT wench for a hip hop video and then cried about racial discrimination when they refused to ship it.

    New Home items in eCop Police Supply store on eBay!

    US$56 + US$30 shipping

    We can sell/ ship holsters, targets, certain gun cleaning supplies and gun security/safety items internationally on eBay.

    However, we do have our own independant webstore where we DO sell many of the items restricted on eBay internationally. Just perform an open internet search for ecop police supply to find us!

    (Note: the item must still be legal to possess in your country - check your customs agency for information).

    Even with cheaper shipping you are looking at ~NZ$134 landed - not worth it. Dearest Amazon price I saw (where I bought mine) was high 30s but then back to the problem of won't ship direct.
    So, solve one problem, but create another.

    PS: A quick look locally and found 1 @ NZ118 but it may not include a case.
