Thread: YouShop sucks

Thanks guys lesson learnt. Yes you can order from the diminishing number of retailers who will accept PayPal or an international credit card. The problem with this approach is that they don't understand the cost of freight or what a padded envelope is so you pay $50 for something then the same in postage to get it here. Which was were {insert name of offending company} came in, reasonable shipping and pretty good service well used to be!

Yes but by the time you pay the domestic us shipping (sometime free), the us sales tax and the pooshit fees then you are up to $50 anyway.

Visa pressy cards get around most issues with NZ credit card.

When you search you can filter on things that can be shipped internationally. When you look at an item it lists it's restrictions and you want to see "gun parts over $99 can't be shipped outside of the US" which means it can be if it's under $99.

USPS shipping from them is normally $20 for small stuff.

They review your order, remove anything that they can't ship and then calculate and add shipping. You don't see the shipping cost at the checkout so you have to have a little faith.

It's the perfect place to buy parts for the AR you are about to purchase.

When they come for your AR, I will still have my Marlin lever action.

Well they better have a whopping cheque book then

I honestly don't like ARs.
I prefer my knives and guns somewhat traditional.
Each to their own.

Firearms fashion is a very individual thing so I respect that but to my way of thinking the AR design is older than transistors and man landing on the moon so it's fairly traditional to me.

Yes AR15s a 1950's design.

People I know have been using a virtual card for US purchases and on aliexpress etc so if its hacked only whats on the balance is taken so not problem if its your main card and you control the balance available on the card .
I have not used this system but might be worth a look......

I think everybody needs at least one buddy in Kentucky. Or Arkansas. They're toughnuts too.
