Important things in BOLD for lazy people

Alright basically i live in the uk and want to find a website or a store on the south coast like close to poole/bournemouth the stuff im looking for is some new jiberish or saga stuff because i cant be bothered getting crazy shipping bills or sending it to my sister in the states and waiting like 5 months for her to visit me.

We (http://www.freezeproshop.com) have Jiberish, it's just come in too! Usually ships in 24hours.

Can't get Saga unless you buy it direct though buddy!

OP. If you don't want to order Saga from the US, you can get a selection of Orage outerwear here in the UK.

http://www.skibartlett.com/ They don't have a lot of men's Orage but their selection is good enough imo.

OP, postage and import fees from Saga really arent that bad. The best way to do it in order to avoid import duty, is to order pants and jacket seperately. Sure, you will have to pay 15 quid more for shipping but it stops you being hit with import duty when you get it here. You will still have to pay VAT but since Saga labels them down alot thats only 10 quid for the jacket and pants.

And you will have the added bonus of being one of the few with saga in europe.

Freeze are dope.. so are Ski Bartlett but more for skis than clothes. They do have Line Hoodies and Armada Outerwear though.

I had to pay £20 tax when my saga got here and it didnt fit so paid £52 to ship it back, then another $50 for them to ship me a smaller size then £28 tax when that got here! they did send me a free hoodie but i still spent far to much, moral to the story, you need to be 6.2 + for xl saga

I would never order a suit from the states again its long,

ellis bringham also sell orage and i think armada?, oakly have some nice stuff this year, there must be a oakly stiore some were near you? find what you want online and they can order it in.

With all due respect, it was completely your fault for ordering something in the wrong size. Had you got it right in the first place it would have worked out cheaper than a full suit of comparable quality/steeze over here.

I just fucking hate parcelforce. My jacket got shipped express and took 14 days to arrive, some pants i ordered after the restock are shipped standard and they are already in customs after 4 days, and i had to pay 13 quid for them to deliver it instead of the 8 it will this time.

I saw no mention of anybody ordering any item Also live in the UK and would love saga, freeze pro is by far the best shop in Britain, even if it is located in the worst country in Britain

Well before i ordered I used a tape measure & when looking at the saga sizing chart a large was the same as the orage I all ready had & I wanted bigger + I emailed them asking if the pant would fit,told them hight/waist & they said XL would fit? The jacket was below my knee, but your right if I'd hit the nail on the head 1st time it would have been £320 which is ok, Also big up freeze pro hands down best UK shop, you can call them for great advice all ways seem happy to help

Hey man, if you like stuff big then go XL, if it's too big you can always send it back to us for a smaller size (if we have any left!).

Thanks for the support!
