Hey I am looking to pick up the tech 21 bass deluxe but live in Australia and I'm looking for a store in the states that would be willing to ship one over? The tech 21 site isn't shipping them here yet and tonefactor are out of stock so I am in a pickle, plus the Australian price is pretty insane. Anyway if you know of a store and or website that is willing to ship to australia please let me know

Thanks

The only downside with buying the pedal outside of your country is that you will not be able to obtain warranty service in your country. From our website:

ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS
Tech 21 Authorized distributors are under no obligation to honor or facilitate warranty repairs on units purchased outside their native country. If you live in a country where there are no Authorized Tech 21 distributors, please contact us and we will advise you.

ATTENTION EBAY/AUCTION OR OTHER ONLINE MARKETPLACE CUSTOMERS
Purchases from sellers who are not Authorized Tech 21 dealers are at your own risk. Warranty coverage applies only to purchases made through Tech 21 Authorized dealers. For your own protection, ask before purchasing!

Buying one online in Switzerland is slightly less than double the price buying one from ebay.com. The difference is just too huge, no matter how valid the reasons. I decided to forgo the warranty, take my chances. If it breaks I'll get a second one for the same price it would have cost me buying one locally, anyway.

I understand many of the reasons of the massive price differences country to country, but I suspect higher expected margins here are part of the game.

We feel your pain. Here in the states we can ship directly to dealers so the cost will be less. To sell our products out of the country we use distributors and then there are exchange rates, tariffs, shipping etc. and they in turn sell to local dealers. All those factors will drive the cost up unfortunately.
