The company has a cooperative relationship with HuaHua Fencing Club. If it is a member of HuaHua Fencing Club, there is a 10% discount. When ordering for the first time, it is best to talk to the company and confirm it. The goods will arrive in about 5 days. The delivery fee and customs duty add up to an additional 30%.
Going to the United States to play competitions in the future is a much more cost-effective to buy on site. You can buy it on site, or you can make online order first, then notify the merchant to ship your goods to the competition site, and then go to the competition site to pick up the goods by yourself.
Now the club manager tells me that another fencing equipment supplier also cooperated with the club:
https://www.blue-gauntlet.com/
Fan Huahua Club members can also get a 10% discount.
If you have any questions, just ask me.
