Looking at the overhead shelf and side molle panels. Quality looks excellent from the photos. Requires a bank transfer though for purchases.

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.

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.

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

Quality is excellent, the interior molle panels are a quite unique and integrate really well with the shelf. When installed they are rock solid.

Kaon do have card payment facilities, plus Paypal, zipPay, Afterpay, etc.

 

[parb]

strange. i wonder why the OP said you have to do a bankwire?
I'd use paypal any day of the week for something like this.

 

[Dopplemax]

I do see where they accept other forms of payment. The initial quote they sent me appeared to only accept bank transfer. I’ve emailed them for clarification.

My interior shelf and molle panels arrived today. Will install them this weekend. Thank you for the input!

I just got some stuff delivered from Kaon, looking forward to installing the 1. door Molle baskets, 2. rear side window Molle panels, 3. the roof shelf

Quick notes on the experience:
1. Fast customer service and shipping (delivered in 6 days)
2. accepted credit card
3. very favorable exchange rate for USD/AUS
4. Customer service reached out to refund me after getting a better shipping rates and refunded me about $160USD.
5. Didn't get hit with tariffs (surprised as I was prepared to paid) maybe because this is under the $800 personal exemption?

Oh my decision for the rear door baskets; having used Molle things for years - panels close to the glass/backing are a pain to attach things to AND more importantly there is no conflict with Wolfbox rear camera mounted at the top of the window on the larger rear door.
