Where did you order from? Also has anyone ordered from VZ58rifle.com....wondering what your experience was with them.
I ordered a few things from them in the past - A set of Zendl TBR and TMR and something else (don't remember what it was). They won't budge on the exchange rate. They didn't accept Credit Cards, or PayPal, etc.. so I had to do a bank transfer -- they will send their Swift Number and account/bank info for the transfer. Since the Euro is crapping itself the US FRN has been much stronger so the the exchange is not as bad as it was a year ago. However, he should take exchange against Czech Koruna, not the Euro - I believe Czech Republic does not use Euro
currency yet (EUR is just used for bankster base credit and transfers), so why don't they allow payment exchanged to Koruna?
$ 1 (USD) = Kc 24.56 (CZK)
$ 1 (USD) = E .89 (EUR)
Last time I placed an order for stuff it included an expensive metal hinge folding stock and I emailed them several times to ask/complain about allowing payment from the US as USD FX to Koruna - no reply. So I got pissed and cancelled the order.
example:
Quadrail:490 Euros (FX = $549)http://www.vz58rifle.com/products/duralove-predpazbi-expert/11,760 Kc (FX = $478)http://www.sa58.cz/products/duralove-predpazbi-expert/I believe they are screwing US on the exchange, when every day they do business locally in Kc not Euros. My guess is that possibly they may be including additional VAT Tax on the Euro price -- which we do not pay as "Merikans". (Assuming you live in the USSA.) Plus don't forget the shipping charges on top of everything.
Coinbase also opened legal bank exchange for Bitcoin in the Czech Republic -- that might be the fairest deal for everyone. He could open a Coinbase business account and get paid directly in whatever he wants - automatically converted from Bitcoin.
I would order from them again because of the unique products they have, but you have to pay the price.
