What i will probably do, to keep postage costs down, is ship the stuff in bulk to one person (in the USA), and then get them to forward the stuff on from there. If i can get four or more orders from the UK, we can do the same thing. Questions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 I'm interested, and I'll put myself forward as a potential receiver/distributor - hopefully I'm well enough established on here that people will feel comfortable trusting me. Any other UKer's? Euro' foks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhoads56 Posted September 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Well.... looks like this was a waste of time Setch, Mattia, let me know if you still want anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javacody Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 I'm still interested, I'm waiting for other Americans to jump in. It may take a couple of days, as we just got over a 3 day holiday here (Labor day). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Slow down a bit Perry, I bet there is a lot more people interested, just because we don't jump and say here doesn't mean that you wasted your time... This is a very nice thing from your part, but remember that most the people here haven't done an inlay job. I would be PMing you about it, not too soon, since I got no tools here, but I'm definately want to get my hands at inlaying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 That's a good price, but if I'm in, I'm ordering at least $100 worth. Since I'm at school and mother nature just owned my shop, I'd be sitting on it for a while. Well, I'm definitely going to think about it. $17 for an ounch of .05" MOP is a steal as far as I'm concerned. Anybody have any clue what it'd cost to ship(maybe as much as 10 or 15 ounces) of shell from Australia to New Orleans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted September 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 sorry guys, im very impatient at times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted September 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Ok, here is a general rule of thumb, IF WE send the orders as individual parcels. * priority air despatch from Australia * delivery within 3 to 10 business days, depending on destination. USA 1-5 ounces $8 USD 6-15 ounces $13 USD 16-24 ounces $18 USD 24-32 ounces $23 USD UK 1-5 ounces $9.50 USD 6-15 ounces $15.50 USD 16-24 ounces $22 USD 24-32 ounces $28 USD Also, someone asked about straight and curved strips: STRAIGHT - Approx 1" long MOP silver 53c MOP black 55c MOP gold 53c Washboard mussel 65c Paua 65c Green ab 70c Green ab rippled 75c Green ab heart 75c Red ab 70c Red abalone heart $1.00 Awabi 75c CURVED - Approx 1" long MOP silver 53c MOP black 55c MOP gold 53c Paua 65c Green ab 70c Red ab 70c Awabi 75c Found it cheaper elsewhere??

Mattia Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Lookin' good! I need to do a bit of thinking as to what exactly I want (I think I'll get m'self some strips of various kinds while I'm at it..) Perry, you got an inner diameter on the curved strips? Ie, suitable for rosettes? I'm going to contact a few local NL folk, see if they're interested in partaking as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 (edited) Also, someone asked about straight and curved strips: Other question here, Perry: are these laminated shell strips, or solid shell? (and radius on curved strips would be nice :-) I've got at least one person in NL who's interested so far, says he wants 'a couple hundred euros' worth of stuff. Hopefully I should get a few more reactions soon. Edited September 8, 2005 by mattia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 all natural shell, unless you want laminated, and then the options get more expansive Curved to your dimensions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
