Ordering FixedBlade Online and Importing
Posted: Wed Apr 27, 2011 5:29 pm
Hi,
Im planning on getting a SOG Seal 2000, and am ordering it online, the only problem is I can only ship it to USA and then maybe have someone ship it from there over here, I was wondering if that is allowed by law or any custom duty ect. I dont want to spend so much money on a piece just to have it jacked by some idiot in customs.
Also iv been trying to find any company that is a go between and maybe could help me in purchasing this knife, it would be much easier that way. There was a company on Ebay, called Cart2india, and when i contacted them about a month ago they said they could do it, but quoted a price that was about 50$ more than the piece price, and said it was for shipping and custom duties, which all in all, I am fine with and have no problem paying. But when i contacted them a couple days ago to purchase the blade and finalize the deal, I got no reply from them. iv sent 2 emails over the past 3-4 days and havnt gotten a reply, so im wondering if maybe theve gone out of business or something happened? anyways, if anyone knows any similar companies, that would be super helpful as well.
Thanks for the time a patience!
