Great video man. Appreciate all the extra extremely detailed info and recommendations. Gonna try and do this w a few friends.

[@davidmcgee2900]

Great video Joe, I wish I had seen your video before I bought my kayak from China. I ended up buying one kayak with a pedal drive and motor. All in I was at about 1,2000. USD I;m happy with my kayak but your way of buying is way more cost effective. Thank you for sharing you're awesome!!!

[@capitolbassfishing]

I did this last year, forms were a pain with local company for import.. I will try easyisf... I bought 3x in different sizes and keep 2x.. Was only going to keep 1x but my son loved it, he has the "Fater" and I kept the "Marius 10.5". 13' was so freaking big and heavy, so glad ordered a mix. Very stable and loaded with features. Sold the 13' for 1700... Love the 2x we kept, great video. The process was a bit nerve racking with this much money, overseas and worry about importing(fees, fines and paerwork).

[@capitolbassfishing]

Yeah, when you pull the trigger and spend like 3-4000 and all of a sudden youre like ... wait...what if my money is just GONE!? LOL good for us good ending.

[@echofoxtrotwhiskey1595]

Does Easy ISF only help with importing from China?

[@jameswilliams4566]

Sounds to me that after you pay for the Kayak, shipping , and then the Taxes and any other Fees you could buy one here the US.

[@capitolbassfishing]

Yes on a one Kayak purchase I agree buy US but likely the one you will buy at a similar price will be...you guessed it - Made in China. I buy 3-4 at a time and sell the ones I dont want and the shipping/tax etc scales. So by the time I am done I paid nothing for two of my kayaks...just my time and energy to import them. Its not for everyone. If you have the money, buy US, US Made and get a good one!

[@jameswilliams4566]

@@capitolbassfishing Yes, I agree. I'm wanting to buy a 3 Waters Kayak. It's really stable.

[@andrew34543]

Thanks Joe, very informative. I was just about to place an order with Vicking ( tandem modular kayak that comes in 3 modules ) however they suggested if I were to ship via door to door service I should pay for them to be boxed (wooden). But if I send to local port there is no need to box. From your experience do you need boxing if you are just buying one kayak? And are vicking kayak of similar quality to hobie?

[@capitolbassfishing]

Mine were on the floor in bubble wrap and paper. All fine. They are robust (plastic) so I dont think wood is needed for a port delivery. They will be ok.

[@user-zr5ik5yl5g]

Hi Joe, How did you get them from New York to Dulles? Who took care of that shipping process? (Was it not possible to have them sent to the seaport in Norfolk, VA?) And how did you get your kayaks out of dulles? Are they in like a huge wooden box? Would this be feasible if i rented like a 15 foot uhaul?

[@capitolbassfishing]

great questions...they come wrapped in cardboard and plastic, they travel in a metal container. Luckily they are very tough and hold up well. EasyISF is the place to use for handling almost everything from fees etc. I am not sure how the transport from NY to Dulles happens...it just "happens" - I think it is lined up from the china side of things. Or maybe determined at the port ... knowing the destination, once it hits the port maybe the port manager decides the best way...TBH I dont know. You could ask them (china). Claire Jin was my rep at Viking Kayaks on the alibaba site.

[@adrianl9366]

Hey, I’m looking to purchase the same kayaks but import into Toronto Canada. Would you have any advice for that? I’m not sure if Easy ISF is for Canada as well? Thanks!

No idea, reach out to Armin Garcia via email: [e-mail]

Hi Joe, I am buying a Kayak from China. They tell me it will ship straight to my house. The shipping cost is around 1000 dollars. Is this accurate? Where do I not have to deal with anything US shipping ports or customs?

[@capitolbassfishing]

You can get it shipped direct to your door, yes. My thoughts were... if the kayak is say $450 and shipping is $1000 then thats about $1500. If thats the case then why not just buy local...there are 3-5 suppliers that sell them for this much. In my case I bought 4 kayaks, Shipped for the same $1000 (for all 4) so each kayak shipping averaged out to about $250 making their individual cost about $700. Then I sold three for $1250 so My kayak costs were $3000 shipped and after selling three for 1250 each I had $700 bucks and a free kayak.

[@berniesalang3761]

Hi Joe. In the process of ordering from Vicking. I was asked for my passport number. Were you asked for your passport number?

[@capitolbassfishing]

Nope - never
