Best place to buy Safari Snorkel?

[R_Lefebvre]

I'm going to be in the market soon for a Safari Snorkel, and have been looking around and seeing prices like $460-470 for them from the Discovery II. Wondering if anybody knows of a place with a better price? $470US becomes like $600 CDN by the time I get it up here. I'm really struggling with that... I could buy a whole kayak made out of the same rotomolded plastic for that price.

It became apparent on my first trip this summer that I NEED a snorkel, and I like the look of the Safari, but man... $600 for a plastic tube is tough to swallow.

Contact Wendy at Sierra Expeditions. They treat us Canadians well and ship in a way that minimizes the dreaded duty and taxes.

Plus they have a 10% off sale right now - probably covers your shipping

One other thing... I believe that Canadian dealers can bring in an OEM Land Rover snorkel. No idea on price, but give it a try.

I would agree on Sierra Expeditions as being a great place to buy.
They will treat you right.

Huh, and they even have a lower price than the other guys. Bonus! Thanks! (But if there's an even better place, still let me know please.)

Edit: So where is the bit about 10% off? The snorkel also says free shipping.

I think the free shipping is only in the USA... but you have to ask Wendy.

Ok, ordered from Sierra which has been great so far.

British Pacific sells them for US$399. If you as them, they might ship to a Canadian address. They usually ship only to US addresses. Alternatively if you have a friend in the US who could forward it to you.

You won't be disappointed, I have placed a few orders with them now and they are great! Great communication too.

SE had a better price with their sale anyway, and "partially" free shipping (since I'm in Canada), but thanks. I can't keep track of all the different Rover shops, and they all have different prices. Some higher, some lower.

Thanks Rob for the order!

You'll be crossing that the river in no time at all! :wings:
