Strike anywere matches

[Chopper]

There has been much interest in these matches following the match case advert.

I have finally found a supplier in the states, the matches are 58mm long, 20mm longer than swan's and much thicker, they are boxed in 250's and cost $3.00.
I ordered three boxes amongst other bits and they arrived within two weeks, and yes they are definatly differant to Swan's.
This company can be found at

This is quite an interesting site and well worth a look.

How much did the postage sting you for chopper?

 

[Chopper]

I ordered a lot of other bits for a friend and I, the p+p was $14.00.

 

[Hoodoo]

Those are very good matches.

 

[Schwert]

Yup, the Penley's are made in Chile and are good.....over here I get them in the grocery for $0.99 a box. Glad they would ship them over.

Why do you want some spurs and a stetson too?!

Drop me a PM....whacha after?

 

[scruff]

Just done a quick dummy order; the shipping for 6 boxes of 250's is $16.00!

 

[Buckshot]

I wouldn't mind a couple of boxes as well.
Any idea how the p+p steps up if 10,20 or 50 boxes were ordered?
I'm thinking a grup buy perhaps....

[scruff]

i catch your drift there bucky...jus gimme five....

....Postage costs for 30 boxes is the same! 60 boxes postage is $28.00.

Jumping on the band wagon!

I'd be interested in a few boxes too.

Sounds very interesting folks, if this ends up as a group buy then I would be interested.

 

[scruff]

Peeps - Don't get too excited but I am going to email River Junction.

Will keep you informed.

 

[British Red]

Group buy sounds the way to ge doesn't it?

Hmm mental maths says......

30 boxes at $3 is $90 add $16 makes $106.

Current exchange rate is ...... $1.85 to the pound(ish) so £57.29. Call it £60. That 66p a box....suddenly thats appealing. Now whoever organises the buy would need to post em on in the UK etc. Not worth messing about for 1 box as it would push up the postage too much...but I reckon £6.50 for 5 boxes on the group buy would cover stamps etc.

Wouldn't make much diff if it was 60 boxes - price works out about the same

If someone wanted to organise a group buy I'd be in

Red - I've sent River Junction an email so we'll see how they respond. What ever the response I'll try and get something going re. a group buy.

For the time being folks please wait for further info and/ or a Group Buy thread before inundating me with requests....it will be the first group buy I've organised....so be gentle

scruff,

Didn't mean you had to organise it mate! Damn good of you though even to investigate the viability - have a rep point!

[scruff]

Hey no probs. I just was checking the postage costs after you mentioned it. It seemed to be the same up until a certain quantity anyway so I thought why not get a group buy going.

Spread the love

Peace

ps. ta for the rep

 

[Lithril]

I'd be up for some please.
