I am in for a Model T with the Azurite clip jewel, the store worked great. It sounds like the faster we order the faster the pens will be produced....

 

 

 

 

So what are you waiting for.......:ninja: :ninja:

Why is the postage so high, especially for people not in US, CA and EU? It's almost half the price of the Passaporto!

I guess because it costs that much to buy a box and bring it to the postoffice and send it. These things go by weight, not by size.

If I'm not mistaken, it's because shipping (at least internationally) is through a packaging service, DHL, I believe so it could have tracking speed and insurance I suppose.

In some things in life it's better to take a Zen approach. If you think too much you won't achieve your goal, wheras if you don't think and let yourself go, it shall be achieved with ease. I find this helpful in writing, kendo and music.

Why is the postage so high, especially for people not in US, CA and EU? It's almost half the price of the Passaporto!

The original shipping price actually was € 35, excluding other costs, for all countries but the US and EU countries. We managed to bring it down considerably. We actually looked into all options available to us, and this was the best we could do. You'd be amazed to find out how costly it is to ship something from Europe to countries outside the EU. And to be very honest, not even USPS is that cheap anymore - we did check pricing on shipping. At worst, with regard to countries very close to the US, we are slightly more expensive than USPS, but do note that these pens are shipped from Europe, not from the US!

 

HTH, warm regards, Wim

Still 30$USD for shipping of a pen seems a little bit ridiculous, posting anything in Australia (where i'm from) is pretty expensive(because of the small amount of people we have) but I wouldn't see it amounting to 30$, with the large number of people in the EU I would have thought the price of postage would be cheaper. Is this for express shipping or something? Could we get normal shipping? I wouldn't really care how long it takes for to get here, as everything takes awhile to get to Australia.

Sorry, we can't.

 

Any other way would mean shipping twice, which, even if done via the cheapest route thereafter, would cost significantly more from Europe to Australia in any case.

 

This honestly is the best we can do. We investigated all possibilities open to us.

 

Warm regards, Wim
