    Thanks for this video. I usually shop from Darts Corner and have them ship to me in Toronto. Usually costs about $6 for a small package. I really appreciate you helping people become aware of these sort of things.

    Thanks to your earlier videos about these sites, I’ve ordered 3 sets of darts and some shafts and flights. Sooo much cheaper than US sites. Plus, with Pure Darts, you can pay 9.99 for express shipping which get your stuff from the UK to my doorstep in US in 3 DAYS!! And when my darts are less than $20, add $10 for express shipping, I’m still saving a ton!!!

    Great video we'd again. Wow shocking prices for US bought darts , I understand why you would buy from the UK. These exorbitant charges are placed on through the importers and distributors and are totally unreasonable. I have used Darts Corner lots and have never had a problem with those guys, I would recommend them .Thanks for another great video from my fave darts channel and greetings from England.

      Thanks Andy! Yeah, the new Daytona's are over $170 at US dart shops. I can get them for about $109 with the discount code at Darts Corner. I don't mind paying a few extra bucks but if I can save THAT much you can't go wrong. Harrows darts cost a small fortune here in the USA. I'm so thankful to know about other options where I can get them for 1/2 the cost of US dart shops. All the best in 2019.

      Guys in the US are paying less than people in the UK your on a winner with these deals. Yeah Harrows stuff is very reasonable in the UK and top quality. You guys have got to complain to the importers/distributors for a better deal.

      If you have a couple minutes Andy have a look at this article an online buddy of mine wrote. He explains more of the "whys" as to why darts are so expensive in the USA. The distributors ARE jacking up the prices on us. www.howtomasterdarts.com/2018/03/darts-retail-in-us-savvy-business-model.html

      @@WorldwideDarts Thanks for the link-that article was interesting reading .it's tough on American sellers and buyers. Maybe purchasing darts directly from the UK wholesale is the answer for these 'Mom and Pop shops plus they could offer dart tailoring like fitting points ,stems and flights to get your dart flying how you want before you leave their shop. I'm sure Harrows would box 100 darts in a box and send it to the US for a shop . This really needs sorting somehow. Keep it up the good work WWD

      The prices truly are amazing. I really don't mind waiting the 10 days to get my stuff in order to save a boatload of cash. I have some darts on the way that I'll be doing videos on.

    I’ve ordered from a180 twice and red dragon once. A180 hasn’t charged me VAT but red dragon did. All three orders arrived at my front door in seven days, and I live in Alaska!! My bank also charges an international order fee but it’s literally pennies. Thanks for reminding me, I need to place another order with a180 lol

    • @WorldwideDarts

    For example. I just ordered two sets of Harrows Clic system flights and shafts from Darts Corner. The flights were 2.92 per set, the shafts were 2.60 per set. With shipping from the UK it came to just under 15.00. From A to Z the flights and shafts are 6.99 each per set for a total of 27.96. Plus, no free shipping unless I spend 45.00 or more. Guess where I always order from? Sure, it takes about ten days to get stuff but so what?

    • @WorldwideDarts
      @WorldwideDarts  5 лет назад +1

      Harrows stuff is the worst here in the states. Their darts cost a small fortune! Somethings not quite right when a Harrows dart cost $104 here but I can buy them from the UK for $52. I don't mind paying a couple extra bucks but I'm not about to pay DOUBLE. I'm patient and can wait the 7-10 days :) Happy to read that you're saving some $$$. Happy New Years Bill

    Iceland charges 25% VAT. So if you buy darts for $115 + $5 shipping, you end up paying at least $150. That’s before they charge you for doing this simple calculation and clear it from customs.

    Just received the Harrows Wolfram Infinity 97% 22's from Darts Corner. Ordered on the 15th and they were delivered on the 26th, not too bad considering over the holidays. Do you have a favorite UK online shop to go to?

    • @WorldwideDarts
      @WorldwideDarts  5 лет назад +2

      Wow! That's a decent shipping time considering the time of the year. My normal go to shop is Darts Corner. But Pure Darts has some incredible darts as well. A180 is also an amazing shop and the owner Karl is one of the nicest guys in the business. I suppose the main reason for me using Darts Corner is the added discount code they gave me to hand out to my subscribers (wwide8). That usually covers my shipping cost of $4 on a $50 order.
