GDPR Unable to order from Brownells/Sinclair Intl in the USA
Every time I try to access Brownells/Sinclair I get a big page saying "GDPR"
"Thank you for choosing Brownells!"
To make the shopping experience with Brownells better, we have a number of representatives in Europe.
These representatives will help ease the extensive licensing and shipping complications associated with purchasing products from our U.S. website. Rest assured, you will still benefit from our vast product selection and industry-leading customer service.
For a listing of our Brownells Europe representatives,
MidwayUSA works OK as does Cabelas, Euro Optics etc.

If you really wanna access the US website, log onto a US VPN server and then access the website. They will think you're based in America and therefore will not block you.

Why not just use the Brownells UK site? yes there is a difference in price however what you see is what you pay for the item delivered to your door.

Brownells UK is no use if you want stuff delivered to a US address.

As above, also the range of products is limited and prices on some things are terrible, an RCBS Chargemaster Lite is over twice the price it is in the US.
I used a VPN tunnel last night and used their online chat, best option they said was to order by phone, they didn't recommend using the VPN.

So Brownells USA will accept telephone orders and ship direct to the UK?

I'm not shipping to the UK, they certainly used to though.

Had a couple of emails back from Brownells.
Basically to save any possible GDPR problems they've blocked their entire website from anyone in Europe!, even access to customer service, help numbers, info etc. etc. is all now blocked.
Very short sighted, I know a few people who order stuff and either collect it in the US when they're over or have someone there bring it over with them.

Too late to edit the above, just got confirmation that the order I placed (via a VPN Tunnel) 30mins ago has gone through.

GDPR - another bit of badly thought out legislation - brought about by the Amazons, Yahoo's, facebooks etc of this world who mass harvest data - then lose it (or sell it).
Political Correctness is the language of lies, written by the corrupt , spoken by the inept!
