Tomoe River Paper

[Dhruv_Sood]

Hi,

 

I will be importing around 5000 sheets of Tomoe River paper from Japan in the next month or maybe by October through a seller friend of mine.

 

So, my question is, are any of you interested in trying out this paper? Maybe in a batch of 100 sheets.

 

My experience of exchanging or selling to members hasn't been pleasant but I hope such troubles won't arise with the local members. I would prefer not to get into too much hassle.

 

Edit: It's pretty much self explanatory since it has been posted in the Indian forum that this is for Indian Members only (those who live in India, not of Indian descent living outside india).

 

I cannot give you the cost estimate per 100 sheets because I am yet to pay anything. I am guessing it'll be around Rs. 2 per sheet/ Rs. 200 per 100 pages. Don't quote me on it though.

 

If interested, PM me and maybe we can work something out.

You can decide the method of posting i.e. Speed post, registered post etc. (which you will have to pay for plus the packaging costs).

 

Paper details:

GSM: 52 GSM

COLOR: Cream

SIZE: A4

 

Regards

Dhruv

how much would it cost? if this would cost more than rhodia them i would opt out

[Dhruv_Sood]

Hi,

 

This is not a group buy. So there is no opting in or opting out. It's either you want it or you don't. Even if nobody wants any sheets, I will still go ahead with my order of 5000 sheets for personal usage. I am just giving indian members an opportunity to use the paper at less cost. I think paperforfountainpen sells it's 174 sheet journal for $40 and $50 for shipping, so the pages I will give are going to be a lot cheaper than this.

 

I don't know how much Rhodia costs. Never bought it or used it.

 

To answer your actual question, please re-read my post above. I cannot give you any sort of estimate since I am yet to pay anything. Anything i say will be an estimate for which I will take no responsibility if actual costs do come more than that. Do you pay less than Rs. 2 per sheet of Rhodia? If yes, then I don't think this is for you.

Hi,

 

please keep us posted of the developments so that we can purchase if okay by you

[Dhruv_Sood]

Hi Rohit,

 

Thank you for showing interest. I'll try to keep you all updated.

These are loose sheets and you will have to get them bind yourself. Please consider that too.

 

Regards

You're welcome.

 

If you want to order normally by yourself, you will have to go through the freight forwarding service like whiterabbitexpress(WRE), but since I am on good terms with a seller, he is going to do it for me. Freight forwarding services charge a lot and hence I decided to avoid them.

[Dhruv_Sood]

He is ordering the paper from tomoegawa (manufacturer) now and will be finalizing the quotation in 2-3 days.

Minimum order is 4000 sheets which I have accepted.

[mehandiratta]

Iam game for few 100 sheets..

[Dhruv_Sood]

Alright, thank you for showing interest. You can probably pick it up from me whenever you come to south delhi, that way, no postage cost for you.

We can decide a mutually convenient location to meet.

can you ask him to send you 2000 white color

and 2000 cream color... if possible...?

[Dhruv_Sood]

The paper is being order from the manufacturer directly who doesn't accept an order of less than 4000 sheets. I believe they will send only of one single color. If you want 2 colors, you'll have to order 8000 sheets.

Besides, the order has already been placed.

Dear Dhruv,

 

I am interested in trying this out. Please count me in for 200 sheets.

 

Thank you for making this possible for all the FP lovers in India.

 

Thanks & Regards,

dhruv, would it be possible for you to share 100 pages with me too?

[Dhruv_Sood]

No problem.

I can give you as many as you want.

One thing i forgot to mention is that you would need to pay by bank transfer, details of which I would forward you once I have the paper and all the costs. No PayPal.

Those who would pick up from me personally can pay in cash too. Do carry the change though.
