Looking at the overhead shelf and side molle panels. Quality looks excellent from the photos. Requires a bank transfer though for purchases.
I was wondering the same thing. I wanted to buy their divider and rear shelf and then wondered if shipping and time and other issues were going to be a problem so didn’t pull the trigger yet.

Bison is a solid choice in my opinion. Great trunk shelf and molle panels. I've had mine for 8 months and they have been great.

I'm always a bit worried about paying things with a bank transfer (having said that, this is how I bought my grenadier).

Kaon are a well known brand in Aus and a relatively large scale operation (when compared to many of the other Grenadier accessory suppliers). I don’t think you should have any doubts about their legitimacy in terms of taking your payment and dispatching your goods.

Having said that I found the packaging on the shelf and molle panels to be fairly basic and the bare minimum required (they traveled 1100 miles to reach me). They are only pieces of steel and therefore inherently robust but not sure they would stand up well if subjected to abuse during transit half way around the globe. Maybe ask them if they take any additional packaging measures when freighting overseas.

Check out Bison out of Poland. They support the board and the quality is exceptional. I have the roof shelf and couldn’t be happier.
Thanks @Krabby

when I put everything in a cart it said UPS priority international shipping ($300) was 5-7 days.

Kind of my thoughts as well. Buying things with wire transfers isn’t a big deal for me and they say they only ship with UPS International Priority. Were you pleased with the quality of the items you got from them?

If you're in the US you have a significantly higher level of protection when paying with a credit card.
If kaon is of any size they should have a credit card option, even the tiniest outfits have that these days.

My few cents
