Jim,

If you cant bring down the postage Im happy to order some stuff to make it more economical for you. Im crew changing out of Darwin/Truscott on my current job so can pick up my share of the order from you when I come off the rig and overnight in Darwin. Will be a good excuse to get to meet you.

[DarwinStrings]

Good on ya mate, would enjoy a beer or a chardy with you Martin. I better offer up a group buy if anyone else is interested. Yep it is only a $50 minimum for his off the self stuff.

Gurian group buy for anyone interested

Have you looked here Jim ... I Haven't ,so please don't take this as a recommendation, but I have been tempted to try them. 60 or 10 sets of 6 landed at your door for less than $50

what's everyone think ?

[ozziebluesman]

Yes Jim I'm interested in some sets of bridge pins!

I prefer 5 degree slotted pins only cause I have a 5 degree reamer.

Would like some ebony and rosewood sets.

Cheers

I buy from Gurian quite often. You just have to give them an email to say you want it sent via USPS as their shipping calculator and using UPS or Fedex is poxy.

They will work out the order with the postage and let you know.

[DarwinStrings]

Okay thanks for that Allen I will E-mail them. If they will send it USPS Alan and Martin then there is probably no real need for a group buy. I want 3 degree un-slotted and un-dotted that's why I headed for Gurian rather than Stewy Mac.

Thanks Tod they look ok if they are accurate and not varying in diameter, not the type I am after though.

Group buy probably off

Jim

Cheers

I should have some stuff arriving today from him, so I will let you know the quality. I bought a temperature controlled bending iron from him for $80, and there wasn't an issue. Somebody else on the forum put me onto him in another post, so they might have input.

I've had a couple of orders with them without any drama's and the quality is not too bad either, especially for the price.

YEah, Col, that was me over on the OLF, possibly....I've gotten a few different things, from bindings and purfling, to little planes, and I can't remember what, but I do remember that I got 50 strips of purf's for cheap, and good quality stuff. On my regular list toi check out the new stuff

Hi there Jim
Re Gurian, I had the same experience a couple of years ago with auto postage calculator.
I emailed as Allen suggested - I can't recall the details but for some reason my inquiry went to two different people at Gurian.
I got 2 replies. The first indicated the large minimum order requirement and basically wasn't very helpful. The other was a lady (Dianne ???) and it was all "can do". I ended up dealing with her getting half a gross (72 - 36 ebony, 36 rosewood) with postage of around $15.
