Hmm, does anyone know the cheapest method and rough estimate of cost for shipping them pins to Australia?
I emailed the Plastixs company about 3 times and got no reply, I just don't want to end up spending 100$ on shipping for 20$ of small metal pins.
Thanks.

Did you try to write to them at

(customerservice@plastixs.com),

or even send them a info request on their site at

(http://www.plastixs.com/info.html).

I believe they do international deliveries, but I am sure that the shipping fees are whatever the norm is for your region.

:-O thanks i didn't notice that email address.
I'll give it a try :-)
thankyou

Let us know.
 

Well let us know how that works out for you. Plus let us know what you think about using these pins as an alternative.

Well the info request proved useless and I still have yet to receive a reply, so last resort is that email address you suggested.
:-Z What could be wrong..

Oh My Gosh!!!
Finally a reply but lets have a guess.
8 pins weigh less than 1kg i guess,
do they ship for $20? $30? $45?
NO!
they ship for $90 !!! OUTrageOusS!!
:-/ so I asked Linda for a cheaper method, i cannot believe shipping is 4x's the cost of the product....

Rediculous.
 

That is rediculous. Sorry to hear of your situation. I have no idea what it costs to ship a package to your location from the USA, but that seems to be quite a bit overkill to me. Try researching these push pins in Europe. Surely they are not the only providers on the planet, are they? These pins should be quite previlant in the plastics industry. They are manufactured for use in plastic molding machines for removing products from their molds. Good luck with that.
