Today I was browsing Flatface, as you do, and I noticed that Blosom decks were up there. They weren't in stock so before you say anything, I know..

But basically, I don't see any of these big American brands like Flatface or NoComply etc being supplied over here. I think that is a really bad thing as personally I hate waiting a few days or even weeks to get my fingerboarding item that I have paid a substantial amount of money for.


So whats the deal? Is no-one prepared to buy stock for the UK? Or has nobody got around to it yet?

Yeah, so anybody could buy a load of fingerboards and sell them, but it takes commitment. The reason I don't go and start selling them is because I'm really busy most days and I don't generally have spare time for myself. So ya........

The UK has no major distribution companies. There's Fusion but that's relatively a small store. I do wish Arctic* was still around. Anyway, it's not really that expensive that much to ship some things from the US to the UK. NoCo has like $3 flat rate shipping or something.

because the UK scene isn't big enough to make a place like this financially viable unless people were willing to pay MORE than what they would getting things from the US. And when FF shipping is 2 dollars, and no comply is 3, no one is going to care.
