Principles of Bonsai Design Book

[eryk2kartman]

Hi All,

I was looking for that book for a quite a while, i found in recent treads about pots that its actually available in US for reasonable price(in Europe they going for 200+ euro).
Is there any chance someone could buy it in US and ship it over to me in Ireland? I will cover all the costs of course.
I was looking at this one https://bonsai.shopsettings.com/Principles-of-Bonsai-Design-p133915314
Looking forward your reply.
Cheers

What are you willing to pay for it?
I have a fresh copy (bought last december) that I've opened and read roughly four times.

How much are you looking for it?
Brand new without shipping from US is 32$

I would contact the website via email. I order all over the country. I can't see why they wouldn't ship to you. It isn't a plant.

Mine comes from StoneLantern too.

Mine is from stonelantern too, I paid 54 dollars total, including shipping.
I'm willing to sell mine with a profit, since they go for as much as 200 euros anyways and mine still smells like the printing press.

I'm not looking for 200 euros, but a reasonable offer for me parting with a high demand and low supply book (that I don't need to get rid of) and having to spend time and money on shipping is all I ask for.

@leatherback you're looking for this book too, right? I think it's fair I'll let you make an offer as well if you're still up for it.

@Cadillactaste @petegreg - Thanks for letting me know guys, appreciate it, had a look at their web but i cant find any contact email address, do you have it by any chance?
@Wires_Guy_wires i think i will let your offer go but thank you for that anyway.

I was going to buy from the American Bonsai Society site. The book costs $31, but they want over $140 for shipping to Europe! I think someone delivers the book by hand.

I can't find the address, but did "incomplete" shopping and this is what I would be asked to pay, if it helps.

I ordered the book, and some other stuff. Never arrived at my place. Some commercial customs service took the parcel and is now asking a few hundred E to release it.. So.. If you do get it, it is a steal.
I am now discussing with SL on how to get the parcel released.

That's crazy.. I wonder if they filled out the paperwork wrong. Because I've sent packages to the UK...I've received them from all over the world Thailand, Japan, China, France and the UK just the tip of the iceberg. Never a glitch. Always arrived in a timely manner too.

Nope. Nothing they did worng It sits on the Dutch side that things went wrong. It cleared customs and then the package was pulle dout by a commercial handler because the delivery address was on my work location. Somehow they think that entitles them to handle everything. And charge me through the nose for it. Funnely enough, upon refusing to pay, they have now been sitting on the parcel instead of sending it back to USA.

Got it on Stone Lantern.

Thanks all for your help.

No I dont, i used guest checkout on their web without creating the account, you can go as far as shipping to see how much they will charge you.
I hope that helps.

 

[PieterVE]
