maybe, maybe not. i am in constant contact with 7's manufacturer though.  they are responding to every email in record time with answers.  they even emailed US customs for me and are going to email me back saying how much customs would cost.  they seem to be all set to sell in the states, but i am not making any promises.  if it happens great, if not I will just wait longer.  only time will tell.

Xs sorry for not answering your question quicker.  the thing that attracts me the most to 7's is the over all product.  most people i've talked to say that the 7's would be a better choice.  they reason is mostly the spring, but a person ive talked to, who has both 2007's and 7's said that the overall quality of 7's is better.  he recomended me buying 7's over 2007's (like most people that have tried both) even if they cost $700. he said they are definetely better then 2007's.  another reason i want 7's sp bad is that i like challenges and having wat is hard to obtain.  hope this answers your question. 

now i have a question for you XS.  why are you so against 7's?  is it because you cant have them?

-Thanks

I am only intrested in the springs
they would cost about 400
they are cheeper than skips
and acording to the spring guide the 7's are almost as good as the skips
and 200 to 230 cheeper

zerocool go for it, but make sure u take every tax and brokerage charge into consideration.  is is extremely hard to calculate hidden costs in the US, that is why i am taking so long.

Just so everyone knows it is now legal for 7 League boots to be sold into the USA market and all patented countries worldwide after agreement with the patent holder. I'm sure professional dealers will be appointed soon for the USA, it has taken longer than expected. But as with everything to do with 7's it will be done correctly or not at all regardless of time. I don't know if this info has already been posted but if not then at least you all know  Wink

7 league boots in the uk will sell them to the USA,
they said that the bocks have been cleared to sell in the states
but the new s-rex springs are not avalable by themselves just yet.
but you can get 2 without crazy import fees and as long as you are not selling
them.  Customs will just hold them for 2 to 3 weeks then release them to you
with small cost to you. Grin

who is shipping them to you?
DHL, UPS, USPS, FedEX.
you could ask them they ship world wide everyday
they could give you the a direct price
and ask 7's who they use to ship, and if they could use one of them

i asked them in one of my emails which carrier they were shipping with and they said an Austrian Post.  they emailed US-customs to find out how much the taxes would be for me.  i am just awaiting a reply from them.

now i have a question for you XS.  why are you so against 7's?  is it because you cant have them?

I'm against importing bocks when they can be had domestically just cause doing so is such a giant pain in the ass.  If/When they break (they all break eventually) getting parts is gonna be a pain, just so much bult in hassel that i don't think its worth it. As for my opinion on 7's, they're popular, but i believe a lot of their popularity has to do with lucky timing that they showed up in the UK just as PJ was having problems.    We can all agree that they're better made than FL's, there is a reson they cost amost twice as much, but I'm still skeptical of their improvements over PoweriSers till i try them, which once they have a US dealer i'm sure i will.

just my opinions, feel free to disagree, i'm just a crazy bocker so feel free to disreguard most of what i say.

UPS and DHL will pick up the package from them.
they are US companies and you should get a correct price.
7 league boots in the uk
will sell you the bocks and use whoever you want to ship the bocks to you
