Just make sure you buy from an authorized US distributor; look around on line long enough and you'll find a cheaper price somewhere, but it's just possible it may be from a "gray distributor" that is not an authorized US distributor. Buy from one of these guys and you do not get a warranty on the binoculars. For the amount you're going to spend on Swarovki's, I think it's just best to bite the bullet and buy from someone you've dealt with before even if it costs a little extra. Once you get them you won't regret your purchase, I don't go anywhere without my Swaro binoculars.
