robert Posted January 23, 2006 Share 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.

foraker Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Too bad they don't have any Nuptses. Nice price on LS Olympus Mons' though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj001f Posted January 23, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 I had great success in getting additional informatin through a quick email. Worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foraker Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Yeah, I'm trying that. I think they are working on Gallic time though. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foraker Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 No Nuptse's available from T-P. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foraker Posted February 5, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
