robert Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I have to say that I was a bit uncertain about ordering from a French website, but it turned out very well. Telemark-Pyrenees had the best price I could find on a pair of Garmont Adrenalin AT boots and they arrived just as ordered in five days. I couldn't be happier. Quote
foraker Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Too bad they don't have any Nuptses. Nice price on LS Olympus Mons' though. Quote
cj001f Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Too bad they don't have any Nuptses. Did you email them? They sometimes can get things that aren't listed on their website. Quote
robert Posted January 23, 2006 Author Posted January 23, 2006 I had great success in getting additional informatin through a quick email. Worth a shot. Quote
foraker Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Yeah, I'm trying that. I think they are working on Gallic time though. ;-) Quote
foraker Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 Do you get zinged by import duties for mountaineering boots manufactured and shipped from the EU? They're up front about the shipping rates. Quote
robert Posted February 10, 2006 Author Posted February 10, 2006 Their site doesn't mention mountaineering boots. You could probably email, but it looks like the duties they list are pretty minimal, 2.8%, so it might not be a big deal. I would guess that the savings would be more than that or you wouldn't consider the hassle in the first place. Quote

Usually the brokerage fee charged is the killer $40-50 sometimes. I've never had to deal with it on an euro gear purchase (boots, scuba stuff, books, etc) Quote
