Deal Details
These likely will come shipped from Amazon, even when bought from Viltrox directly. Same price everywhere, but Viltrox won't charge tax, saving about 50–70 dollars over someplace else, including Amazon.

The entire Viltrox store is on sale for 20% off, combined with no tax is closer to 30% off.

There are multiple coupons accepted in cart, but are removed at checkout... wonder if there is a code that works out there in the wild.

Official website purchase may have customs duties though, not sure how much it may charge us.

I've bought from Viltrox, 3x and my orders have always been shipped from Amazon's warehouses stateside.

Not discounting this - they obviously have it listed for a reason. Just it has not applied to my orders.

Edit: This is right on the product page as well:

"Free Shipping
Fast shipping from local EU & US warehouse"

135mm LAB for the Nikon Z is confirmed not to be shipped from China. It's on a UPS Ground now. I should have it by Tuesday.

My official policy on this is, if they're dumb enough to ship and dump duty payments onto us, I reject all shipments for a full refund - their stupid loss.
