Cool XJ Snorkel

Hey guys, Im thinking about bringing about a dozen XJ snorkels and I wanted to get a feeler out there of how many of you would be interested in buying one. Im looking at about $250 shipped UPS to your door. It would include everything you'll need to install it (hardware, flex pipe, SNORKEL, etc). They would NOT be Safari brand, however they are made of the same thick durable material.

What do you think. Post or PM me if you would be interested.

The picture attached is kind of grainy, but it gives you an idea of what you'd be getting. The snorkel does not have any logos, or brands (words) on it whatsoever thus making it an awesome sticker spot.

So they aren't the name brand, but a knockoff. Aren't the knockoffs alot cheaper on ebay?

They are, but you're paying $90+ for shipping and if the package gets tied up in customs due to paperwork issues (my sample was labeled as a "gift"), gets broken, or you receive the wrong one, you run into problems.

Also, shipping is rarely (if ever) reimbursable so... you'd be gambling on ebay, on top of that, those snorkels are made all over the board, and you cannot be sure that you'll be receiving what is pictured. I have located this manufacturer, and I am purchasing direct from him, I ordered a sample to ensure that the quality was up to par (it is), and will be taking care of the shipping operation inside the US where your product will not only arrive in a timely manner (UPS Ground 2-3 days), but also safely (no holes in the box, missing parts, etc).
