Thread: Gauze wraps/group buy/ridiculous shipping

OR if somebody in the USA could order them for me and ship them to me, even that would be cheaper. A group buy would still be the cheapest! Let me know guys

I was told that the shipping to Canada is "a little more", and after waiting for 10 minutes I was told that the shipping would be an ADDITIONAL $17.85 US for ground shipping (6-8 weeks) OR I could take option 2 which is $48.60 for UPS shipping and I would have to pay whatever duties would incur at the border.

Is it just me, or is that absolutely retarded? 6 rolls of gauze weighs about 1.5 lbs TOPS and the package shouldn't be more than 8"x8". Why the hell would it cost over $30 US to ship to anywhere in North America??

Either way, I still really want these wraps and I know alot of other people want to get their hands on them, so I was wondering if it would be possible to organize a group buy for these? I could order them and when they arrive I could ship them all out to everybody involved (it would take a little longer but would be MUCH cheaper...wholesale discounts and such) OR conversely, if somebody out there has a business that can order the same wraps (3-layer gauze, 15 yards long) I would be happy to take some of them off your hands

Hey Man,

I ordered from Ringside and purchased the Ringside Mexican Handwraps. I did it via their website, and also ordered a tonne of other stuff from them at the same time (i.e. Ringside Super Bag Gloves which are AWESOME, some shirts, Cleto Reyes Fight Gloves, etc.). I did shipping via UPS for like $60 for my orders valued at over $200US and UPS added the customs charge already for $30 more. Customs will rape u if you get it shipped normally - i.e. last time I did that, they charged me at my door when it got there - i had no cash on me, just plastic cards, so they had to bring it to the post office and i had to pay there. So, IMHO, just go UPS.

To top it off, i got my order within TWO DAYS after ordering! SO DAMN FAST!

For your case, I would say that it's not worth it to order just a small amount cuz they'll charge you a lot for customs + shipping for such a small amount. Save up and get some other stuff like those super bag gloves or the Cleto Reyes stuff

Well I caved and just went with the 10-yard stuff from Title boxing. For 5 less yards per roll I saved $37 US over Ringside boxing. I also found a cool company called Rival boxing in Montreal that has the most badass sparring gloves I've ever seen. Check them out:

Anyways I'm still really interested in a group buy OR if somebody living in America could order them and ship them to me that would still be alot cheaper. Let me know, guys!
