"Company You Wish Would Open a US Office?" Topic

Some non-U.S. companies, such as Eureka and Battlefront, have U.S. offices to service their U.S. customers.

Which additional non-U.S. company do you wish would open a U.S. office?

Don't care at all where any company is based, I would just really like for the modern economies and governments to straighten out the horrendous situation with international shipping of a small package. The talk of "Free trade" in western countries is a joke.

Perry Miniatures and Black Hussar

I concur with daler. Any company that would ship figs/terrain to Australia at a reasonable price.

Shouldn't the question really be….

Company You Wish Would Open an EU Office?

Otherwise I concur with daler! Providing of course that his statement isn't considered to be politics *tease*

the postage of course is beyond our control, although the way it is packed can make a small difference.
with bexit looming we may all find our favouruite toys being harder or dearer to get.

I never have gotten figures from a foreign supplier so there is that. (And see some Eureka figures I want)
Nothing against it just never have done it.

I miss Dixon not having a US "stockist."

Perry, Gripping Beast, Front Rank, 4Ground.

The Main problem is most postal services in the world are terrible. That why we have so many for profit shippers.

Kallistra for here in the US.

I second Kallistra as it is the only way to get Hexon without brutal shipping charges.

For helpful friendly service and shipping saving, Eureka USA does set a high bench mark!

Baueda would be great to have over here.

I second jeffreyw3. Dixon 15s are super.

Kalistra is the one product I have never purchased because of the brutal shipping charges also.

Redoubt, Orinoco, and Outpost (for their Mexican Revolution range).

2nd Kalistra

Perrys and Foundry for me. At least Perrys can be purchased from a US retailer.

Front Rank

I love my Kalistra stuff. Its so much heavier than a few figures, so I can see how having a US distributor would really help there

For the record, I stock Baueda at ScaleCreep.com here in the US of A.

Perry is readily available from US dealers, as are 4Ground and Foundry. I thought Redoubt had a US retailer as well (Triangle out of NC?)

Kallistra x10. The shipping is a deal killer.

I concur with daler. Any company that would ship figs/terrain to Australia at a reasonable price.

For some of us It is actually cheaper to ship to Australia than it is to receive from Australia. Count yourself lucky.

Yes, everyone I mentioned, save GB, has a US "stockist," but most items that I get, beyond plastics, tend not to be in stock.

Mark, Triangle doesn't carry Redoubt. I would like to see someone carrying Redoubt along with Dixon.

14Bore--Eureka does have a US office:

For me,Ebor,if the figures would still be available for the same low prices,especially the unit and brigade deals. That would give even Old Glory a run for their money.

Baueda and Mirliton … please find a US retailer!

Knight Models

Interesting answers, but I would be interested in what people expect would be different if these vendors had a US stockist/distributor/office? (in order of importance)

Faster shipping, since customs can't randomly hold up the package.
Of course you have to balance that against things occasionally not being in stock.

Much faster and cheaper shipping.
