Let''s add 1/4 lb each of the imperial pearl and black pearl to my order too. At this price point, I can stock up on tea for work and it's not even splurging.

If someone needs another buyer to buy the last 1/4 lb of another tea to hit one pound, I might be convinced.... :roll: :wink:

Here is an update:
"Hi Cody,
Yes, you can have the prorated price and 12 cakes. I will type the order for you. If there are too many packages to split, we might need to charge 0.35 for each pack. I will let you know after receiving your list.
Thanks!
Christine"

It seems like we will be good to go on non-full pound orders. :D

Thank you very much, Poseidon.

Please put me down for 250g of dark roast TGY and 250g of the famed imperial pearl.

PP is fine with me, just hand me the total bill.

And thanks for putting this group buy together.

Before I forget, are we having the tea shipped to us by the vendor or will it go through you first?

Just so I can figure out the cost of shipping as I live in Ireland!

The tea will come to me first. It will be sent from Frankfort, Kentucky 40601. I haven't shipped internationally very much so if you have any guidance it would be much appreciated! I can do which ever carrier you choose, if one is less/faster/more reliable than another feel free to let me know.

Its probably a good idea for you to figure out what carrier you would prefer Haddemall as well due to my inexperience of shipping to Sweden. :)

Hmmm FedEx and UPS are ridiculously expensive, and USPS is also extremely expensive by the quotes I'm getting! $80 shipping renders the savings from the bulk buy useless...

Does anybody have experience in American international shipping? Verdant tea is the only company I've dealt with from your part of the world, and their shipping is like $8 usually :|

That could be due how much volume they ship. Ususally businesses get a nice shipping break if they are high volume. I can ask Mountain Tea if its possible for them to ship to you if its less.

If anyone has any other ideas for our non-us sippers, help us out!

USPS Priority Mail Small Flat-Rate boxes are $24. If you're sending less than 2lb, you could also look into first class packages as a potentially cheaper alternative. Also, have you looked into DHL?

By the way, please also confirm me for:

1 Oriental Beauty cake
1/2 lb Dark Roast TGY
1/2 lb Spring 2014 Lishan
1/4 lb Imperial Pearl
1/4 lb Black Pearl

Nobody wants any GABA? Last time I ordered, it was pretty tasty...

Those flat rate boxes are the way to go, IMO.

I would be extremely happy with $24 flat rate box! I will do some more research into the other companies too, DHL crossed my mind alright! :) thanks!
