I guess it depends on where you live and what shipping costs are.

For me, costs are only one part of several.

I want to know what the quality of the tanning process is for the quality / grade of the hide (holes, range or bug bite marks), evenness of color, how well it tools, takes dye, the temper or firmness of the hide, tightness of grain, and other expected but often overlooked check boxes of leather.

I've purchased and used a variety of leather hides from mystery non-USA hides that my local chain leaTher store had on sale one time that smelled like they were cured and tanned in urine and were very dehydrated to quality leathers from W&C and H.O.

What makes this source a competitor in the leather craft market for us?   Why should we try it, sight unseen and with no confirmed users?  How often can the quantity and the quality be resupplied? If I buy from W&C or H.O. I know I can get the same quality, color and consistency each time.

So, is this from a tannery that rivals those available in the U.S. or well-known and established tanneries in other parts of the world? 

Convince me.

It matters not a whit where the leather is tanned. Good and bad leathers are found from all over the world.

@hamim how are you going to convince leather purchasers that your leather is, in fact, of comparable quality to the leathers available here from all over the world? That will be the deciding factor, is it not? Not where it is sourced from. For all the naysayers, there will be others who have no problem buying from the East, provided the quality is guaranteed and consistent.

You would be more likely to get info from the OP than by quoting me.  So you should tag the OP so he/she gets a notification.  I have no information to share with you, nor to answer your questions.

@hamim  You have some questions to reply to.
