Where to go online for climbing gear shopping? 4-Feb-2014 At 8:22:53 AM plumb-bob

I recently bought a set of 6 C4s from Steve at RH. I looked at ordering camalots from the states, but with the postage, credit card foreign currency charges and the exchange rate the bank charged it was actually cheaper to buy them from Steve.

Be careful to check what these charges are when comparing prices and know that the bank won’t give you the full AUD to USD exchange rate!

I would also have needed to have it sent via an intermediary as the US stores don’t send BD to Australia.

It ended up cheaper, easier and quicker going with RH. I had local service, the ability to return any items if required and I was supporting a local business that supports Chockstone and the local climbing community.

RH: AU$445 and they arrived in 2days
(AU$435 + AU$10 postage)

Amazon: AU$460 all up and they would have taken nearly a month to get here.
(US$368 = AU$425 after credit card currency conversion, + AU$10 foreign currency credit card charge (2.5%) + $25 postage from my mate in LA)
