Nova Balanced Autococker Valve

[RAZRBAKK]

I am once again reminded why I have never bought anything from Nova. 111% shipping cost on a $70 item.

yikes

Also gonna get hammered on brokerage fees with UPS 😬. Contact them directly and see about USPS rates.

[Alexndl]

PM me if you want one

[iamthelazerviking]

Call or email TJ about lower shipping

[RAZRBAKK]

Yeah I emailed the orders account to see. Honestly though, it's frustrating to have to to that, especially with an item that might sell out fast.

[SETHZILLA!]

Ooof, i paid $18 for shipping for a 1oz. part, wish i had seen the post about cheaper shipping before i jumped on it.

[iamthelazerviking]

More so for Canadians/Hawaiians

[RAZRBAKK]

I've emailed them to see, because that's just ridiculous. I've priced things on the Nova site before and the shipping is always what stops me.

I’ve talked to them before and said they said they do different shipping if you call them. I’ve ended up getting both my Novas used though and my N4 was even in Canada.

I was quoted $18 for UPS ground to California. not paying $18 shipping for a 5oz package. Here is the pirateship quote

Just bought two, and paid the high $15.18 shipping. They're only ~1.5hrs (one way) south of me, but it would cost me more in fuel/time to drive down to them, and then I'd have to pay 6% sales tax, so meh.

Yeah not sure why anyone would not use Pirate Ship + Ground Advantage to ship anything 😂 that's what I ship 99% of everything with

I paid 18 for two coming to NY

[RAZRBAKK]

Honestly pretty disappointed right now. No response to my email asking about alternative shipping options. And sorry, I'm not placing a long distance call to SC just to order one.

Oh well.

[William the Third]

Got mine in today.

[Araphel]

Does the machining around the transfer ports look like it was drunkenly cut with a file on anybody else's valves?

[iamthelazerviking]

Lol oh great!

[Myrkul]

I need pictures.

[Jivesauce]

Looks like it’s pretty rough in William the Third’s picture a couple posts back. I don’t think it really matters, but I understand not being super impressed by it.

Just watched the video they put up on the Nova Enthusiasts page. Its clever, that drilled through stem to balance the valve and the mounting option. I'll get one later on. I've been going the other way though- converting cockers to run on high pressure by fitting Crossman 2240 valve stems on stock Cocker valves using Phantom springs. Filling the pump shaft with resin and adding a delrin shim means 30 good shots at 300fps on a 12gram Maybe if they did a suitable valve spring for a pre 2k body would peek my interest some more?

[RAZRBAKK]

In regards to my email asking about shipping options internationally:

Normally the only other option would be for you to send in a pre paid label or box but you will still be responsible for any extra custom charges.

Safe to say I won't be buying anything from Nova anytime soon.

Not trying to dump on these guys, because I get it, they're a small business selling niche products to an already small market.

But come on.

Would love to know the efficiency on these. I might pick one up to torture test in one of my cockers

Anybody else having trouble finding a 1/2" socket that fits into the lower tube?

[jetenginekyle]

Found a 1/4 drive socket that works

[SETHZILLA!]

Haven't gotten mine yet, but i would suggest a nut driver if the socket is too thick.
