It's a shame you won't ship overseas. All it takes is a jiffy bag and a few
extra cents! Charlie. "Vedis" wrote in message ... D'oh. Sorry. I am in IL, sending to...well....anywhere in the USA really. No overseas shipping yet. Thanks!

We've experimented with this, and sending a bead in a padded mailer, arriving safely from the US to the UK is around 80 cents for airmail. For bigger amounts, a padded mailer tucked into a Global Priority envelope does the trick. Smaller GP envelopes are a flat rate of $5 and larger ones are $9, with a maximum weight limit of 4 pounds for the small one and I forget for the larger one. We're out here, we have a good exchange rate and we're happy to buy from the US, so please don't forget us. -Su |

Oooh yes, very good exchange rate! It's nearly as cheap to buy from the UK
if the shipping is reasonable. Charlie. "Su/Cutworks" wrote in message ... Charlie wrote: It's a shame you won't ship overseas. All it takes is a jiffy bag and a few extra cents! YES!

Right now with the dollar running at almost 1.9/1 it's great for us to buy from the US if the people know how to ship with minimum fuss. I won't buy from anyone who charges silly international shipping prices (ref my gold-plated marble paddle!!) but there are lots of great bead people who know what we want and how to send it! Hmmm... actually, maybe they should be more difficult? My husband thinks so, he's afraid to look at our credit card bill. :-D -Su |

This is quite true! The only inconveniences of shipping overseas to most
countries is that you actually do have to go to the post office, and if the package gets lost you are totally SOL. As long as you can make it to the PO once a week and your buyers understand the nonexistence of tracking or insurance on the packages, it's WELL, WELL worth the extra PO trip, IMO. There are piles of UK, NZ, and AU buyers, plus I get quite a few in Canada and a smattering of folks from Japan, France, Germany, and Hong Kong. -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.snipurl.com/kebay Charlie wrote: It's a shame you won't ship overseas.

*blush*
I am working on upgrading mine. My current one is very defunt...and I would be very embarrest to put the link on here as I have visited some of the websites of the ladies on here and they are WAY better than anything I have a the moment. But I will be sure to drop you all a note when I get my new page up...say in about 2-3 weeks. I am taking this beading thing fairly slowly, to make sure I do it right. Sorry...*blush* Vedis On Wed, 21 Jul 2004 15:40:09 +0100, "Charlie" wrote: Aaaaaah, I see. Well, let us see your website then! Charlie. "Vedis" wrote in message .. .

In article , "Louis Cage"
writes: This is a "duh" kind of suggestion, but be sure and put an invoice or something inside of the package so in case the address on the outside is ruined or unreadable, the shipper can open the package and send it either back to you or where it is supposed to go. It's also nice for those of us who inventory our beady stuff.... It's a real pain to sort back through PayPal notices to find/print out the one for the package that arrived "today", when you have only a vague idea when the notice came. More "professional" that way, too-- and if you're selling beads, you're a "pro". Kaytee "Simplexities" on www.eclecticbeadery.com |
