[wanted blue mtns / Syd] Xmid 1p

[ecowain]

I’m after an Xmid 1p in good condition, if anyone is wanting to let go of one.

Amazon only seem to be selling thru third party resellers for crazy prices, and I’m not a fan of using reshippers.

Just asking... thanks.

Available for US$220 (A$285, normal previous drop.com price) from amazon.com + reshipping fee + GST

Link to the Amazon suggestion? Can't seem to find the 1p version for sale.

I just purchased one from Amazon.

Firstly you need to access USA Amazon using a VPN as the tent is only available in the US.
You will then need to get an account set up with a package forwarding company to give yourself a US postal address. Then you will need to pay for the shipping from the forwarding company to you

[DuskyBay]

If you already have a US postal address from a freight-forwarding company then add it to your Amazon address book and then select it under [Deliver to]. No VPN required.

All of which I wish to avoid, as mentioned in the original post.

Thanks for your comments though, it might help others.

Sorry, thought you were complaining about “third party resellers for crazy prices” which needn’t be the case.

I don't think you need to go through all that complication? I just added it to my cart and it says it ships to Australia (USD $60 shipping which is a bit steep): https://www.amazon.com/Drop-Dan-Durston ... ast_sto_dp

FYI, looks like this is the only way it will be sold going forward (i.e. drop.com will no longer sell it directly): https://www.reddit.com/r/Ultralight/com ... &context=3

That's a shame. Amazon charges are an absolute rip for just about anything. That won't improve if they can monopolize distribution of anything.

It must have only just changed recently. When I tried to buy it a few weeks ago it was just saying it was currently unavailable

Yeah, it would be great if he would sell directly through his website... I really hate Amazon. That said, if he releases a solid inner, I will likley but one.

Maybe it changed when Drop.com made the move to Amazon only for outdoor gear?

This is eligible for Prime free shipping so if you do much buying on Amazon then a prime membership @ $59 could be worth considering. Shipping would then be free + you get all the Prime benefits for the next 12 months and a saving of $1 overall.

As of now it’s available on amazon.com.au for $322.73 (incl. GST and free delivery), with a $10 discount if you order via the mobile app: https://www.amazon.com.au/Massdrop-Dan-Durston-X-Mid-Tent/dp/B08FXVFKKT/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=X-mid&qid=1616183194&sr=8-1. Probably the lowest price we’re going to see for a while.

That's may or may not have some fat, but it's not unreasonable. Never let it be said that I don't have an open mind

You might just be in luck, one just popped up on here for sale, in Sydney.

Sorted.

Unfortunately bought a new one just before the other msg popped up.

Thanks for the heads up folks.
