If a group order got up and running I would put my hand up for 10. I think we should be thinking about refills too (unless someone knows if we can get them here:?)

Carl.

Approx how much for a kit. I have no idea and would like a ball bark figure before I put my hand up even though I know nothing about pen making.

this teacher would put her hand up for 10+ but would like to have a 'ball park' (not point!!!) figure for cost if possible ...... probably need more red refills than blue!!!!! :oo::oo::oo: By the by, I have bought red refills for the normal parker type pen kit too at Timbecon if anyone is interested.

If you went through CSUSA, for 50+ it would be $2.85 a kit.

Carl.

If it is no more than $ 8.00 ea inc. postage landed in Australia. delivery from you to me would be and extra on my part. You can put me down for 10. If any more than I will negotiate with you.

The $8.00 amount is so you do not have to worry about the nickel and dimes with some unknown postage and handling costs getting them to Australia.

Postage from the USA is easy to calculate if you can obtain the weight the
USPS service I use has flat rate packaging indeed our USA members can easily confirm this.

I have recieved many flat rate envelopes that contained up to 4 lb weight
for 11.90 Us and with the Aussie at around 96 cents its no big deal, plus delivery has been 6 to 10 days delivered to my door from different states in the USA.

If you go to the metal work section of the forum as I do there are many instances of shipping costs.

I repeat only recommend USPS United States Postal Service, so far no strings attached and no Customs Agent needed, no obvious problems.

Have success Peter:2tsup:

Yay, mine arrived today ... thanks very much for your time and effort to organise and the freebies too!!!!!:) :D

I would like to have the timbers identified - I received 'blonde' ones (is my web cam on?????) one camphor, one (looking at previous pic) I would say willow, silky oak? (of the banksia family looking at the grain) and a spalted one that looks like Morton Bay that I have used but I am not certain..

Thanks again

ok..

the spalted one will be wllow, if the one you think is willow is fairly samll in size then its swamp cypress, and there woulda been a silky oak and a camphor.
