Phantom is For Sale

I’m just other side of blue water bridge near Pt Huron. Happy to take a shipment to my home and meet you just on either side of the bridge. Also maybe contact tethrd see if you can’t work out a different shipping arrangement. $500 CAN sounds crazy but with exchange and international shipping maybe not so crazy. I know I shipped some items much larger than a phantom to BC and it was an additional $30 USD to ship int’l.

Yes for sure.. Tethrd is now $49. Maybe H2 subtracted the free US shipping. Go on the H2 website and make a fake invoice and get an estimated shipping cost. The recon sling was similar for shipping from Florida. Yup I try them all. I guess that is risky for Tethrd but I expect the phantom to be great and hope it is.
I think they put it in a package not a box if that makes a difference. It had tracking and insurance and was snail mail fast.

I return a flex for warranty to Washington for a similar amount I know 37.91 Cdn or $28 US. The flex was warranty because of the flaky material.
I like the flex but I am hoping the phantom is as comfortable but more minimalist.
Most of the time there is duty, brokerage fees and gst but not always. That can add another $100 to the shipping. So really between exhange, brokerage, gst, shipping a saddle can be almost doubled. I guess that is why I am not cool with the cost of shipping.

Just so you know, getting pics of any saddle like that is a complete PITA! hahaha! That pic is my favorite as well ;)

We used to rig up garments with fishing line and photoshop out everything afterwards. We also used superglue to keep folds and whatnot straight. Some of my friends who did campaign work for fast food chains did a lot of really insane stuff to make hamburgers look really good. Resin epoxied meat, spot freezing and burning with compressed air and blowtorches...
 
I guess I am putting these comments up for my fellow Canadians. Not to get service from Tethrd. I am communicating with them directly and the information is valuable to fellow Canadians.
And some of my friendly American friends on this site have tried to help me out with shipping in various ways. How can you beat this site and the guys here. I would say there are bad apples everywhere and despite some of the recent comments about similarities to archery talk I do not see it often. There are many great people here. Fling and some other tethrd pro's have obviously tried to help me out as well... and two Texans in posts above.

Ordered mine this morning........ Now only 11 more months and it will probably, maybe, hopefully, wishfully be here!
 
I've been waiting, and when I saw it was live last night ordered mine. This is my first saddle, the neighbors are going to think I'm crazy for climbing trees in the back yard now trying to figure it out :D

wait till they start seeing you rappelling from trees.
 
If you're really trying to cut costs, @Ontariofarmer, just drive to Novi, MI this weekend for the Outdoorama event and sneak off with one of the Phantoms being used for the Teach-N-Train event.
Or buy one if larceny is not your thing. I believe I heard Greg say they would have some Phantoms for sale there. Stay the weekend and you might be duty free.

Yep. Lots of little tricks to get it to stay that way for a photo. It for sure involves a LOT of fishing line haha!

I have thought about the 6 hour round trip. I am working on shipping it cheaper with tehtrd.
 
I'm trying to get them to ship it in a padded envelope like H2 did. It only cost $27 to ship that way instead of $108 ups. That would be reasonable and less trouble for everyone.
 
Well Tethrd got it all fixed... $23.65 in a flat rate USPS package. Much better so I got one coming. Maybe I can have a Canadian meet up at Hullet..

We can try various saddles. I have several and am looking forward to trying the phantom.

Saw this on Facebook.

"Once again, saddle hunters supported Tethrd like crazy. We sold out of our inventory (which we thought would take us 2 weeks) in 5 hours.

Phantom orders placed after 9:15 PM EST on February 26 may experience a 5-7 day shipping time. Orders placed before the above time will be shipped in our standard processing time (1-3 business days). Orders will be shipped in the order they are received.

This isn't bad news...just a small delay. Our USA Manufacturing partners are rock solid and we'll be caught back up in no-time. We have another big batch coming next week so things won't get out of control.

We will also have limited stock at the Raleigh, NC, Novi, MI, Des Moines, IA, Lansing, MI, and Columbus, OH tradeshows to be purchased in person.
You guys rock. Thanks for the outrageous support! You guys and gals are the cat's pajamas!"
