Hi, I just bought new Petzl Dry and Pur’Dry picks…prices seemed too good to be true, even with $26 shipping it was basically 2 for the price of 1. Afterwards I did a search and came across an MP post with people ordering from them to Canada, and the topic being duties and brokerage fees. Has anyone ordered from them or a similar site and had any issues, or know about these fees? I ordered Krukonogi picks before from Russia and didn’t have to pay fees, but maybe the seller covered them? Anyway, UPS shipping if that helps. Thanks

I’ve ordered hangers from them and never had a problem with shipping or duties.  Delivered to the US.

I think duties don’t become a problem until around $800 total for the us

I ordered a pair of shoes from their site recently. The prices are phenomenal and they are all true.

Shoes arrived in roughly four days.

I vouch for them and I am an extremely satisfied customer.

Just ordered from them to the U.S. and my order arrived fast w/ UPS.  No issues.

How much was shipping on a pair of shoes?

25.95 USD to Ohio, no sales tax

I ordered 2 pairs of the older Katana Laces 2 weeks ago. Shipping was fast however only received 1 pair but was charged for 2. They had no explanation and were pretty vague in their email response. They didn't offer to send another pair but did refund me (for a 2nd pair but at a lower price than I paid. Guessing the EURO had changed value?) They also didn't offer or respond to my request for free or discounted shipping on another pair as I was wanting to re-order. 

Overall, they do seem legit but beware you might encounter a hick-up. No sales tax and shipping was the $25.95

Anyone here have problems with credit card declines ordering from the US and making a larger order? Having a hell of a time with this: https://www.mountainproject.com/forum/topic/122566567/ordering-from-oliunid-constant-credit-card-declines-due-to-international-retaile :(

I’d suggest keeping each order under $800 and using PayPal

Great, fast (after we cleared the cc-issues). Good prices.

Why not order from a local shop/domestic?   support local and less waste/carbon footprint… to save 10-20%?   Seems like a waste of resources for the price of a cup of coffee.

When you spend 1k+ 20% is a weeeeee bit more than a cup of coffee.
But I do agree, if you're not buying a larger money sum of gear its pretty trivial and worth shopping local, supporting small business owners, and putting tax dollars into the local community.

I ordered hangers and they took about a month to get to California. Well worth it for the price.

My gf ordered shoes and a rope.  2 months ago.  Nothing has arrived yet.

I ordered an Edelrid rope from Oliunid for 60% of the US MSRP, plus $19 shipping, on Sept. 26. It arrived from Italy via UPS on Sept. 29th. No import duty or extra charges.

I will certainly buy from them again.

I get all my shoes there. If I buy 2 pair, shipping goes from 21$ to 24$, so I generally offer a friend a hookup on cheap shoes and split the shipping cost.

I've also been ordering from them for a while now and highly recommend.  Prices are basically half U.S. pricing and the items arrive in 4 days if you choose the more expensive shipping which is usually only a dollar or two more than the cheaper shipping.  I feel like the pricing might not last forever though so i've got 4 extra pairs of shoes stockpiled in the closet since they were $100 less than what I would have paid here.
