Post subject:  Hobie dealer with International Shipping

Hi there again,

I'm from Mexico and I want to find a Hobie Dealer with International Shipping for any kind of Hobie stuff,

for example I´m on the market for harnesses and some shockcord.

the only dealer in Mexico is a company called Velerisa, and they are quite expensive.
Almost 300% of the original price. So, I'm not that rich...

The harness does not need to be a Hobie harness and neither does the shock cord. I have to replace my shock cords and will just get some at the local hardware store. I'll buy a bit longer than needed and trim to fit.

I did get some Hobie parts from Fogh Marine in Toronto and they ship internationally.

Good sailing shock cord and hardware store shock cord are light years apart!

I'm in Costa Rica and I just have a freight forwarder setup in Miami, I shop on Amazon, Ebay, etc no problems. The billing address of my CC is set to the same as my freight forwarder to make things a bit smoother.

The freight service is called Aerocasillas or Aeropost. (http://www.aeropost.com/main.htm)I didn't see Mexico listed but you get the idea.

I have found that the dealer in Miami doesn't carry a lot of stuff in stock and keeps having to order from the Hobie factory in California which causes delays in the order. I would instead purchase from a dealer as close to the factory as possible and ship via UPS ground or something of that sort.
