Members WanderlustMike Posted July 17, 2014 Author Members Report Posted July 17, 2014 for what its worth to other readers, Tandy responded to me with a revised shipping quote. The price is now about 15% of previously quoted price (from the online store). They are now willing to ship to Thailand from Australia for ~ $73USD. Quote
Members DavidL Posted July 18, 2014 Members Report Posted July 18, 2014 what tools are you buying? Tandy's been known to overprice items Quote
Members WanderlustMike Posted July 18, 2014 Author Members Report Posted July 18, 2014 DavidL, I'm buying a few tools like a ceramic knife, permalock needles,adjustable v-gouge, bevelers, a few stamps, etc. Mostly, I am buying oils, stains, edgings, finishes, etc. These are incredibly hard to find here. And while I am acutely aware of the pricing disadvantages item by item through Tandy, the one-stop shopping is most convenient for someone in my part of the world, else I may spend weeks finding my complete list of items through half a dozen suppliers. And while I may be paying more for the equipment, shipping from multiple outlets and the cost of my time far outweigh the potential savings especially in frustration. but thank you very much for the advisory. I appreciate it. Michael Quote
Members Budbacca Posted July 18, 2014 Members Report Posted July 18, 2014 Hi, I'm in Bangkok also it is hard to find supplies if you are looking in English. You can check this link www.sorsrimongkol.com he is in China Town but he imports from Japan. Anything you order from overseas may get hit with tax if it is over 1000 - 2000 baht. I haven't bought anything from him yet but I'm waiting for a price quote. Good luck if you find a good source in Thailand can you upload the name or link. Also where are you going to get your leather from? Regards Luis Quote
Members WanderlustMike Posted July 18, 2014 Author Members Report Posted July 18, 2014 Excellent, thanks for the guidance Luis. Michael Quote
