Exxpozed and Telemark-Pyrenees

This isn't a gear review, but an online retailer review. Some folks are finding deals on gear from overseas companies.

I ordered a set of Wild Country Superlite Offsets from Exxpozed. They arrived to me on the east coast exactly one week after ordering. I also ordered a pair of Fischer Transalp 80 skis from Telemark-Pyrenees. I ordered the skis last Sunday. They arrived that Wednesday. Couldn't be more satisfied. Both sites gave updates and tracking info just like ordering from anyone in the US.

For those who haven't ordered stuff from Europe, VAT functions like a sales tax. You won't be charged VAT if ordering from the U.S., most of the time offsetting the increased cost of shipping. On the other hand, you may be hit with import duties.

Be careful if you buy from out of Germany.

 Besides the terms and condition states the will refund you the price of the product and the delivery cost the will not do it.

Effects of withdrawal: If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, *** including the costs of delivery *** (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

They don't state that they will not reimburse international orders

I will not buy again.

In Germany, they're great. Given that I'm just a 2hr drive from their HQ, I find their shipping slow, sometimes takes a week for something and German domestic shipping takes 1 day, maybe 2 max from anywher eto anywhere. 

But their prices are good even if their website looks kinda crappy/clunky. Definitely a legit outfit with occasionally excellent deals. 

I ordered wild country helium draws from trekkinn because it was less than half the cost of anywhere else. I waited a month unfortunately for them to come but I think it got held up in customs. Glad they finally made it and got a killer deal! But I had 2-3 climbing trips in that month that they missed lol
