MassDrop?

Information for bushwalkers from bushwalkers

Bushwalking gear and paraphernalia. Electronic gadget topics (inc. GPS, PLB, chargers) belong in the 'Techno Babble' sub-forum.

Forum rules

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Just the once so far, with an Enlightened Equipment quilt. No probs, and I'm a happy camper. I found out about it through this forum. Enough people were happy with it for cautious me to give it a shot.

I use it occasionally when there is an excellent deal on something I need. You do need to watch the postage to AU which can vary from reasonable to expensive. Always check prices against a US and a UK retailer. UK retailers such as http://www.ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk have cheap postage to AU and change the currency to AU$ to see the VAT free price.

Have snagged a few bargains on Massdrop.

Do your homework, the prices are not necessarily the best available.

And note that all prices (including shipping) are in US dollars - don't be mislead by the Aus flag icon.

I've used it half a dozen times. All good but you need to do your homework re price and postage cost. Also worth noting is that post can take quite a long time after the drop ends. So don't use it if you want something in a hurry.

Used it often enough. Great deals if postage is low

I have used it a few time but like others have said you need to check the prices against others. I got some amazing deals at the end of the US winter coming into ours last year.
