No sales tax.

Oh - that is awesome...even better deals!

My proxy said no taxes.

Just a proxy tax.

Bunch of shell restocked right now if anyone is going. Better hurry. Mostly in 8.5/9

All this hype has me thinking I need some shell in size 9 ? ? ?

Want to proxy for me?

Only stopped in for 10 min during a break.

For anyone curious about the massive shell restock on Viberg's website, Zach just replied back to my email stating that it looks to be delayed til Summer of this year. Hoping that won't be met with a higher retail price for those service boots...

Anyone have much experience with the sample sale? I bought Amaretto shell through a proxy and I'm debating mules. For something like mules, would it make more sense to wait a day or two or does it get pretty thin?

This was added to the mega proxy group a while ago. Shrunken Ram. I'm in to it, but not my size.

So, I'm unfamiliar with the usual proxy system.

Is this something local guys do for non-locals and in return they normally get a fee or a percentage for the trouble of buying and shipping (seems like that would be fair)?

Or do people normally do this just as a favour to other enthusiasts at cost only (which would be very charitable)?

This is my first sample sale experience, but the group that I'm a part of has a $100 fee per pair. There are somewhere around 200 people in the WhatsApp group so I'm assuming that's kind of a standard proxy fee.
Regarding "favour" - hello fellow Canadian!

Lol - dead giveaway from the spelling (that, and maybe my footer indicating I have pairs of Dacks, McHales, and Hartts).

Thanks for the info - that makes sense re the $100 fee, which I imagine is separate from also having to pay shipping costs to your proxy? So $575US + shipping cost for most non-shell boots if you buy via proxy is still a very nice deal.

(But I'm still really pleased I was able to snag a pair I liked from the 3sixteen sale this week for $340US + shipping...tough to top that 50% off bargain!)

For the $100 group that included shipping. I saw another proxy group that was $50+shipping . I saw shell going for $140 (proxy fee) though

Ha! I didn't notice the footer, but ya, giveaway as well.

Ya, I mean, I think it's a reasonable deal. US shipping is included in the fee but international shipping is just whatever extra from they would pay from the US shipping (at least I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere in there). The average price of a service boot on .com is ~$1,000 CAD + tax + shipping - so about $1,155 (in BC anyways). Sample sale pricing for non shell is $475 + $100 USD fee, but no tax and whatever for shipping... so around $730 CAD.

Congrats on the 3sixteen score - those were a great deal!

my one score from the sale. first time seeing any shell at the sample sale. they are 1/2 size larger than I normally wear, but yet they still feel snug. I like that they put out stuff throughout the day. in and out under 15 minutes.
