I've seen a lot of people from America asking about purchasing from ProJump recently.
The inventor of Jumping Stilts, Mr Alexander Boeck, holds a patent on their design, and every pair that is sold includes a royalty fee that is paid directly to him. The patent covers the UK, most of mainland Europe, and the US.
The royalty fee only covers the country you are in, so UK based sellers can only sell to the UK, US to US, and so on. Therefore, if you are in the US you CANNOT purchase ProJumps, as the patent agreement only allows them to ship to anywhere in the World apart from the USA!
If you want to purchase stilts in the US, check out www.air-trekkers.com, www.getjumpingstilts.com, www.dcpowerstilts.com or www.xphub.com
The brand that GetJumpingStilts are selling is the same as ProJump, they come from the same factory off the same production line, they just have a different name stamped on them.
Sorry if this causes any problems for you.
Naz, Spud or Jason, can you stickify this? :P
