About Us
My name is Josh Merrow. In the year 2000 I moved to Barcelona, Spain from New York City. As an avid do-it-yourselfer, mechanic, and sculptor I've been carrying a Leatherman with me since I discovered them in 1992. I managed to lose mine, and upon checking european prices discovered that they were a good deal higher than those back home in the USA. I asked my uncle, who is a construction materials wholesaler, to send me a new one. Shortly thereafter friends began asking me if I could get them Leathermen, and the idea for this company was born.
Since then I have sold Leatherman tools and other products to customers all over Europe via this website, web classifieds, and through friends and colleagues.
Although I accept returns, the quality of Leatherman tools and the rest of the products I sell is such that I've yet to receive one. I ship orders the same day via UPS 24 hour express. Thus far I have 100% happy customers.
With time I have added several other products to our catalogue and thanks to a positive public response, business is steadily growing. With the exception of those brands legally protected from being imported by third parties, we import all other items ourselves.
Americanexports isn't a faceless mail-order house, it's a small business with a real person behind it. I look forward to hearing from you.
