This does not seem like much of a deal. I can find this online for $224 with free shipping.

GerBillPlease post a link to a US version Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55–300mm f/4.5–5.6G ED VR Lens for $224 free shipped so we all can take advantage of that great deal.

GerBillAt that price @GerBill mentions, I suspect it is a factory refurb.
$220 Amazon factory refurb: https://www.amazon.com/Nikon-55-300mm-4-5-5-6G-Certified-Refurbished/dp/B00R1MXPFW $296 Amazon new: https://www.amazon.com/Nikon-55-300mm-4-5-5-6G-Vibration-Reduction/dp/B003ZSHNCC
This drop is for new-in-box US version, if I am not mistaken,

$249 here and free shipping. I did not see the indication that it was referbished or international. I also can't vouch for the site.

GerBillI also saw this and contacted Ritz through their mail system. That is the same lens as Massdrop's offering, but for less, and is New In Box.

GerBillI had to perform some Google-Fu for a bit, but finally found the real difference. The lens is materially the same as a US version, but the international version does NOT have a valid warranty within the USA. So the $16 difference between what we have here on Massdrop and what we see on sites like B&H, 42Photo, or Ritz is that we can get service within the USA if we need it. I don't know about B&H or 42Photo, but according to Ritz's website they do warrant the product for 1 year, but apparently it is only valid with them as opposed to any other service station authorized to perform warranty work.

SamwiseInternational version is what we used to call gray market. Nikon will not honor the warranty for international versions of their products. B&H photo sells both US warranty and Gray market products so you need to be sure what you getting. They will tell you right up front which is which and they are clearly marked on the website. But they are great source for photo products and have no problem with returns. Good luck
