IceIceBaby Posted June 11, 2002 Posted June 11, 2002 Is anyone notice that Barrabes doesn't sell anymore Sportiva's and the Petzl, Chucky- Mo's are not for sale outside the Euro market. Now, how about that!! Quote
bellemontagne Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 Those darn French!! We save their asses in WWII and how do they show their appreciation? They make us pay more for Putzl and Chucky Mo gear. But wait, aren't we getting it in the arse by BD too??? At least Boreal Aces' are still only $63 and available for export to the US!!!! Quote
IceIceBaby Posted June 17, 2002 Author Posted June 17, 2002 All I want is a free tax trade and gear close to free the hell with them Petzl Quote

Now, how about that!! That's due to pressure from the US distributors of those brands. Try to get those same products from MEC and you'll have problems getting them shipped south. Same deal: it's the US distributors raising hell about unfairness. I guess their thinking is along the lines of "free market be damned". Or "curse the strong dollar". In my personal dealings with LaSportivaUSA, they're dicks. Way too much Boulder attitude from those folks. After the splinter from TNF a couple years ago during the TNF restructuring, it's been downhill service. It pisses me off too, because La Sportiva footwear are great products and it's what I wear on the rock. But I've gone to Tecnica for ice footwear. Tecnica: they're very friendly and helpful and the products are light and durable. Quote
IceIceBaby Posted June 17, 2002 Author Posted June 17, 2002 That’s what I hate, a bunch of whiners that ruins it to everyone What an A holes. now we will have to shed the cash we don’t have to buy overpriced equipment. Just because that the jerks in La-Sportiva USA and Petzl USA say that Barrabes doesn't play fair…. Boo Hoo… Freaks… Lower you prices and we all get along Quote
glacier_dup1 Posted June 18, 2002 Posted June 18, 2002 www.sportextreme.com still sells Sportivas - $70-75, although they don't carry the Miura. An acquaintance just received a pair of Boreals from them -$8 shipping. Quote
mikeadam Posted June 18, 2002 Posted June 18, 2002 you have to add the canonical or it redirects to an ISP. http://www.jumarnet.com/ Quote
icegirl Posted June 21, 2002 Posted June 21, 2002 Argh! none of these sites have Mythos available (cheap) in Extra Pygmy (36) Drat! Foiled again. Quote
Rainier_Wolfscastle Posted July 2, 2002 Posted July 2, 2002 how about http://www.telemark-pyrenees.com/e_index.htm They have sportiva Quote
Yos Posted July 2, 2002 Posted July 2, 2002 Anyone order through jumarnet.com and can vouch for their legitimacy? Quote
Matt_Anderson Posted July 2, 2002 Posted July 2, 2002 I just bought a pair of miura's from them. They came quick. and checked up on me to make sure everything was all right. They're legit. matt Quote
icegirl Posted July 4, 2002 Posted July 4, 2002 telemark-pyrenees = $$$ shipping... emailed them asking about it, and they promptly replied to my comment about expensive shipping, and said they are working on it (and to buy more shoes at a time) and wished us a happy 4th of July... Jumar.net, lots of sizes if you don't mind waiting a bit, and $7.00 shipping (air mail) if you don't mind waiting a bit more... Hey, I'm in no hurry... Sport Extreme = once again, limited sizes.

IceIceBaby Posted July 5, 2002 Author Posted July 5, 2002 Do the math about Jumar and u see that telemark-pyrenees actually come cheaper even with the INFLATED SHIPPING PRICE so now if they about to lower it, they will be the best deal around [ 07-05-2002, 07:10 AM: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ] Quote
icegirl Posted July 6, 2002 Posted July 6, 2002 Math With shipping... from pyrenees = 103.00 from Jumar = 85.00 Quote
IceIceBaby Posted July 8, 2002 Author Posted July 8, 2002 Icegirl? What was the product? Here Is my math Product : LaSportiva Nepal top Extreme Telemark peranees 223.24 Euro shipping via DHL (3 Days to your doorstep) : 54 Euro total = 277.24 Euro euro=0.98656 as for 7/8/02 277.24 Euro=273.553 USD Jumar: $252 USD shiping via mail (two weeks minimum) $30 USD total $282 USD Quote
icegirl Posted July 8, 2002 Posted July 8, 2002 Mythos rock shoes. Back up in the thread a bit and you'll see I've been whining about lack of size at a few of the places... Quote
IceIceBaby Posted July 9, 2002 Author Posted July 9, 2002 So I guess is do the math individually Quote
icegirl Posted July 9, 2002 Posted July 9, 2002 Yeah, makes it a little less friendly to have to price shop and compare (and include shipping) at EVERY different overseas mail-order place for each purchase, but in the end, I guess if I really didn't care about money and supporting, well, you know... I'd just buy 'em at REI... (and I'd just climb plastic in the gym, and be DAMN proud of it) Quote
Happy-Go-Lucky Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 Just received a pair of Miuras yesterday (8/1) from Jumarnet.com. I ordered 7/14 via regular shipping. Took about two weeks to get here but costed me $87.50 including shipping ($7.50) and saved almost $60 (if I were to buy them at REI). Gotta love the online shopping! Quote
BigWave Posted August 11, 2002 Posted August 11, 2002 Keep going to REI to try that stuff on before ya buy it from the Euros computer geeks that don't know a splitter from a splinter. Just don't go to the little specialty shops to get the scoop and the local beta to go buy shoes on line cuz that don't pay their bills and you end up asking the little guys to move out of the area. I do find it interesting that the first employees were amazing climbers and informed atheletes and now it seems that the majority of the staff are gumbies and gapers that will suggest an afternoon at Si and some clips @ 38 for some real climbing Quote
