Anyone bought from totem directly?

Was trying to find some totem cams online and they seem to be out of stock on all the usual UK sites i can think of. The totem website comes up in google and at 83 euros (£75 conversion) actually seems slightly cheaper than most but more importantly in stock. 

The website mentions 'non EU' countries may have to pay extra taxes/tariffs when they collect them. Had anyone since brexit (the gift that keeps giving) bought from totem directly?  Any issues? 

Thanks

Needlesports in Keswick have them in stock in all sizes as far as I can see.

Can't answer the question but I think Rock On have them in stock. Give them a ring.

You'll have UK vat (and probably a customs clearance fee) to pay, so they won't be any cheaper than buying direct from a UK retailer.

I bought a set from Dick's climbing this week. Excellent service 👌. It looks like they have plenty left in stock and if you spend over £400 they will try and give you a reduced price deal.  https://www.dicksclimbing.com/

So really, the more Totems you buy, the more sensible you're being!

Seems like i did some man-looking and managed to find the few places out of stock and assumed there was a supply chain issue or something. Ive been waiting for lock down to ease so i can get into Dick's to get some new shoes so will add them to my shopping list

Slightly off topic, but I have used Totem directly to replace the trigger wires on one of their cams (after it stopped a 20m  whipper) and found the service and quality of repair to be excellent. It's all down to personal preference, but in my opinion, in the Black - Blue - Yellow sizes, these are the must have cams.

UK Stockists of Totem are...

Dicks Climbing, Needle Sports, V12, Rock On, Outside, The Climbers Shop, Joe Brown's, Depot Climbing walls (Manchester & Big Depot Leeds) and Inglesport. 

Also as the UK distributor we have good stock in the UK so you should be able to buy from any of the above without incuring import taxes and duties!
