I've been trying to order one too for a Savage Mod 16. I'll have to try ringing them as no joy via website. :-(

I'll give them a call again on Monday and find out what's going on with their website.

Lol
I recommend that anyone considering purchasing a stock waits until they sort the website out!!
3 phone calls several emails to be told oh can't send to England it is not in my drop down and then can't send as the computer system says ring for a quote! (This was by the guy on the phone!)

Eventually got it sorted but we seemed to spend ages going round and round in circles, with him asking me what he should do!!

Not your usual US level of service!

Still, stock should be with me in less than 3 weeks, just hope it is the right one

I called them about 2 hours ago and just getting the chance to report back now. Fella I spoke to told me it may be the new year before they fix the website.

thanks Blu!!
and yet i was sent this today....

Dear Stuart,

Have you seen? We've released our new website to the world!
As a valued Boyds customer, we wanted to tell you first. We hope that it makes the shopping experience easier and more enjoyable for you.

While our new site continues to highlight our fine hardwood gunstocks, it also provides more information in an easier-to-find format. Other products, from gun parts to walking sticks (did you know we had those?) will also be easier to find. Over the coming weeks and months, we'll continue to add functionality to the site and also provide you with a totally new enhanced mobile shopping experience.



With the new site comes a new login process. Your username will be the email address on file with us; it's the same address to which we sent this email.

Guess you guys will have to wait and see, the fella I spoke to earlier did go away to speak to his supervisor to find the answer to my question, what I wrote earlier is the answer I was given.

I ordered a stock for my CZ friday evening on the new website, had an email yesterday to say it's been dispatched! not too shabby :)
The only problem that I did encounter was that my old username and password no longer worked, just had to enter my email address that I used to set up my account, request a new password (forgot password link) then got an email with a new password all worked fine after that

Right then ladies I went back to Boyds site and successfully placed a pretend order using a fake UK address. When I got to the page that says "call for a quote" on shipping, just ignore the quote thing, go down and tick the box accepting the terms and conditions and hit the submit button. This will then take you to the payments page where you will also see your name and address details as well. Fill it in with you CC details and hit submit, job done.

Now then regarding shipping. Boyds only use UPS to ship. Here in the US the only options it gives is how fast you want the stock as it offers Normal Ground, 3 day, 2 day and overnight shipping but it is still all done through UPS.

So UPS is going to be the freight carrier to the UK as well unless it hands it over to some other company when it leaves the US. Shipping prices to the UK I don't know about but I reckon and I could be wrong in that it's going to be much the same for all over the UK. Either way it's up to you and how badly you want a Boyds stock. Anyway below is a capture of their payments page to show it can be down using a UK address.

Hi Blu.
I did all that the first time but as it does not add the shipping cost Boyds simply cancel the order the next day.
Ordered via phone and shipping is $69.99 with USPSI?
