Default USA guys. Best place to buy Caddy Pads and Bashlin Alloys?

OK, mate of mine wants to buy Bashlin alloys with short gaff and set of Alloy Caddy pads with straps.

Where's the best place?

Wesspurs, Sherrills, etc?

PS: Caddy pads not available here easily.

Hey Ekka,
Think you can buy direct from Sherrill if you give them a call, friend of mine got a porta wrap and a few bits sent out from the states, wasn't too bad i think.

Wesspurs are winning this race by a mile plus they responded to my email promptly plus the guy who responded was the guy who filled my special order last time.

These guys are smart players and they link to TreeWorld!

Oh, one last thing, they beat everyone else on price ... no need to ask for anything. This mob have their act together.

Fellow Australians. Buying with credit card over the internet is no big deal anymore. Expand you boundaries and your mindset. Here in Australia you will pay anywhere between $550 and $640 for Bashlin alloy climbers (no pads, no straps).

After currency conversion I land the lot here for $497 AUD, with caddy pads (unavail in Oz) and 28" straps.

Once I get this down pat and have a contact and hopefully some advertsing you guys might be able to easily contact them for all your stuff.

The internet has truly shrunk the globe, feed your retirement not some other lazy assed middle man.

All orders to Australia for under $1000 are GST and Tarriff free. Johnny Howard struck a free trade deal with the yanks not long ago, buy direct!

Looks like we should bring in the 020's one at a time then. Ha.
I wonder if I can bring in an 18" Bandit in 40 x $1000 pieces?

Oh, I forgot to add one important fact, I'm buying retail ... not wholesale from manf, so you do the math.

Thanks for the info Ekka, was about to do an order with bailey's but give sherrill a try.
Any you guys know what weight/size "limit" is it feasible to go sea freight to oz rather than air freight. Thinking of roll of chain/bars etc.
Oh, and did they or you organise freight?
Cheers

Everything arrived today, all here, so that shows how easy it is.

Total cost, freight etc was $512.76 AUD and that was for.

1x pair Bashlin Alloys with short gaffs
1x pair Alloy Caddy Pads
2x pair 28" upper straps (Yeah I got extra set coz they're like $45 here)

And over here the cheapest price for just the Bashlin Alloy climbers, no pads, no straps was $550

Wesspurs were great.

They put a catalogue in there with the stuff.

I was showing the cherry picker driver today the stuff in there and prices ... he swiped the catalogue, loves it!
