I've used them several times and highly recommend them. Many times you can purchase items from Optics Trade EU that you'd never find here in the US.
I always use the UPS shipping option and have the optic in about three business days.

Have you bought binoculars from them? My understanding is there are no duties on binoculars?

I was skeptical at first but after speaking with a few fire members I decided to order a Kahles bino from them. Faster shipping than you could imagine. I ordered a Swaro bino the day after from Eurooptic and received the Kahles first. First and only order from Optics Trade but after my experience with them I would not hesitate to order from them again.

Send them to the US, but they may have to go to Austria depending on what is needed. No different than many binoculars that are available in the US. Needed some Meopta 15’s serviced and they had to go on a boat ride. The binoculars I’m looking at would just be sent to Swarovski. how does the warranty work? In the US or have to overseas?

Kahles is what I’m looking to order as well. Were there any duties, or did you just pay the ~$35 UPS? I was skeptical at first but after speaking with a few fire members I decided to order a Kahles bino from them. Faster shipping than you could imagine.

Okay thanks was told they can’t be serviced in US, it that S&B scope. Might be different with Swarovski.

You weren’t kidding they’re fast. Ordered Monday afternoon and they arrived today. I've used them several times and highly recommend them. Many times you can purchase items from Optics Trade EU that you'd never find here in the US.
