Maven in the UK? (1 Viewer)

[Will K]

Does anyone know of a good way to field test Maven equipment in the UK?

Because they sell directly to customers via their website, it’s impossible to find their models in the shops, and I’d never buy anything without trying it first.

I know they offer a trial period, where you can send it back for a full refund if you’re not happy with it, but I’d rather not go to the trouble of shipping things back and forth across the Atlantic (for several obvious reasons).

I’m particularly interested in checking out their B line and the spotting scope.

Thanks!

A few models are sometimes available through Amazon UK and shipped by Amazon so you wouldn't have to send them to the US. But it's only 3 models currently. The only one from the B-line is the 10x42. No scopes I'm afraid.

Thanks. I’m quite surprised Amazon have them, actually (it’s not quite in tune with Maven’s business philosophy), but it’s still not really what I’m after. Trying them in a showroom, and comparing model to model would be much better. Plus I’d rather not give Amazon any more money!

Is it worth contacting the company and asking them this same question ?

I am not aware of any physical shops in the UK that stock Maven. There are UK/EU resellers that offer Maven that would make returns and custom clearance process easier. Can't vouch for any of them.

Never heard of these folk before. Claim to be from Leicestershire but all the ip data points to the Shopify e-commerce platform so they could be anywhere on the planet!

This UK business is the UK's supplier of Maven: Maven - Binoculars Maven's business model seems to have changed as there is a supplier in Australia as well.
