Rick Young harness supplier in EU? (1 Viewer)

[Jos Stratford]

Importing from the UK or US is a bit of a pain with customs declarations and duties, so quick request if anybody knows any dealers for the Rick Young binocular harness within the European Union?

Many thanks

I live in the EU, if I remember correctly I bought mine directly from Rick Young and yes, I did have to pay quite a hefty shipping+customs fee. I could look up how much it was, it was a couple of years ago. I haven't bound with mine, so I'm happy to send it to you for a symbolic price (it's just sitting in a cupboard). Send me a message if I can be of any help.

Appreciated, thanks. But same issue - when arrives here from non-EU, it is held in customs till declaration is submitted and duties paid both on product and on shipping cost, plus an admin fee ...and all of this effectively near doubles the price, as well as adds hassle.

Not a very big issue in reality, but if an EU supplier exists, then simpler

Easy to make your own, functionally identical, for a fraction of the price with a length of bungee cord and a few plastic fittings. Go for it!

👍 That is my plan B 🙂

I just went through this exact same scenario. I ended up making my own based on this resource: DIY – Binocular Harness – By Kurt Holmes

It came out very well and I can see why the RY harness is so popular!

All sorted now, many thanks to all, especially to Yarrellii for the very kind offer 👍
