International Print Distribution

Just thought I'd create a separate post for people interested in foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) distribution of Ctein's print (see the post just below this one)—those who are interested in doing the distributing, and for those who want to contact them.

So far, Lubo C. in Canada and Mike S. in the U.K. have offered to distribute prints if they get enough interest. If you're in Canada or the U.K. and you want to buy a print through them, please contact them either by email or by leaving a comment on this post.

(Please don't make any general comments on this post—this is just for people interested in foreign distribution of the prints.)

If there are any other volunteers I'll post them here.

Mike

UPDATE: Josh M. in Australia has volunteered to distribute in that region.

UPDATE #2 from Mike S. in the U.K.: "Update on U.K. (and European) distribution. I've had lots of emails in the last 24 hours so we're going ahead. As well as the U.K., I have had several from Europe that I am happy to fulfil, but postage will be a bit higher. I will sort out prices this weekend, when I can get the packing and post priced, and email all who have contacted me aiming for Sunday evening—sorry, work means that I can't email you all before then. As Ctein has graciously given us a few extra days, I suggest that I keep the offer open until 9 p.m. on Sunday U.K. time; that should give me time to add any stragglers to the email list.

"After I email, I will need payment by PayPal by midnight Tuesday in order that I can pay Ctein on Wednesday. I will include a small leeway in the currency conversion to guard against exchange movements—any excess will go to the MND Association as I recently lost a colleague to MND. If the exchange goes too far against me then I'll politely request that you send the balance and trust that you will. Once I receive the prints from Ctein I will pack them individually (tubes) and post them out. Given we have well over 40 order this will be a weekend job, but I'll keep you informed."

FURTHER UPDATE from Mike S. in the U.K.: " I've just emailed 85 people re prints in the U.K. Prices are £21 for U.K. delivery and £22 for Europe (including non-EU). I'm amazed at the response and am looking forward to seeing the prints. I'll update again when I order from Ctein."

UPDATE #3 from Lubo C. [email contact above] on reselling within Canada: "We now have a couple more than 25 interested buyers and they have all received detailed instructions. Anyone else in Canada interested in a print please email me before the end of Sunday."

UPDATE #4 from Australia: Josh M. has confirmed that he too has more than 25 orders, and so will be going ahead. His email contact is above as well.

P.S. Also, please note that neither Ctein nor TOP will be involved in non-U.S. distribution of prints—you'll be dealing directly and entirely with fellow TOP readers. We make no guarantees!

Add me to Lubo's list!

[martsharm]

Have emailed Mike S for a UK print.

Please add me to Mike S's UK list

[per andersen]

I live in Denmark and I'm very interested in a copy. From Mike S in UK?

[Josh Marshall]

Hands up for Australia distribution volunteering here.

[ctein]

Since I know it's going to take a few days for folks to get their ducks in a row, and since these bulk orders aren't going to come out of the 1000-print limit on the US sale, I'm happy to let this remain active for several days past the close of the US sale.

That should give enough time for potential resellers to line up potential buyers.

[Hugh In Winnipeg]

I've emailed Lubo, as well.
:-)

[Len Metcalf]

Josh, I would be in for one here in Australia.

[Nigel]

Have emailed Mike - interested.

[Martin]

If anyone in Australia volunteers to distribute prints, I'll put my hand up for a print.

[Gordon Cahill]

I've emailed josh in Australia.

I'd also be happy to distribute if he can't.

Would it be an idea to bulk order the bulk-orders for (western) Europe? Shipping between those countries is much easier than inter-continental, And if several countries don't get to 25 by themselves, but would reach the `magic number' together, one recipient (the country with the most orders) could then send on the required amounts to the distributors in neighbouring countries for further distribution.

[Roger Bradbury]

I've emailed Mike S. in the UK.

[Mark]

I'm in, and email sent.

[Bernard Scharp]

Also, forgot to mention that if there's enough interest, I'd be willing to be the `distributor' for the Netherlands.

[Bojidar Dimitrov]

Hi Mike S, are you willing to send a print to Germany? If yes, I'll be happy to participate.

[Tony Holt]

Have emailed MikeS for a UK print. Will definately take one if he has enough interest to go ahead.

[Peter Marquis-Kyle]

Josh: thanks for stepping forward. Please put me on the oz list too.

[Marc D]

I also emailed Mike for a print to Germany. Hope this works out.

[Stephen McCullough]

Well cool. Community in action.

[Mark Walker]

Also contacted Mike S. for UK
Thanks.

[Jeff Wilson]

And another for the UK - email sent to Mike S.

For shipping in the Euro zone -- in general yes: but it depends on the service that you use and where you live.

For example, for me in France, if the shipper uses the service that is peered with what was the government postal service (La Poste), typically I find them excellent. Not as quick as a courier, but overall their delivery reliability is better.

Why? They know the area, so the know the guardians, the door codes, and they have a local depot where they store the parcels for up to 2 weeks in the case you are not home.

Mike, you ask about Europe - my understanding is that there would be one inbound VAT charge going into Europe and no subsequent tax within. Postage within Europe is standardised (at least from CZ) and would be a little more than within the home country. I would think this would apply to the countries of the European Free Trade Area, but I don't know beyond that.

[Tom Vinnicombe]

Thanks Josh, please put me on your list for one.

[Hans van Driest]

Perhaps there are issues here I miss, but would it not be an option to make, for a fee, the file available so international customers could (have it) print it themselves?
I know there might be a slight difference in calibration especially since, as far as I know, a 3880 is nor factory calibrated, such as the bigger printers are.
just an idea

[Dave Stewart]

Have emailed Mike S. to join the UK list.

(Thank you to: Ctein; Mike; and Mike S.)

[Andrew]

Thanks Josh, I would like one in Aus. :)

[Loïc]

European people, has anyone been able to get an answer from UK Mike S?
So far, I have not had any luck.

Our American Mike: yeah, it's pretty simple so send a package to another European country. And it usually gets delivered in less than 7 days. Never had an issue on Eba with European guys.

[Carsten W]

The email address for Bernhard doesn't work for me. I have emailed Bernhard via his website for a copy. If there isn't enough interest for Bernhard to get set up, I would also ask Mike in the UK.

[P. Nielsen - Denmark]

Dear Mike S.
I really appreciate all the hard work you are doing, making it possible for us Europeans to be able to enjoy the work of Ctein.
Also thanks to Ctein and TOP for providing us with this great offer.

A am sorry to hear about our loss. If possible, you could allows us to pay an extra amount, so you are able to make a donation to the MND Association.

[Bernard Scharp]

So far, I've only had four reactions (only one of which actually in the Netherlands), so I don't think I'll reach the magic 25 in time. I've emailed those people and adviced them to contact Mike S in the UK.

@Mike: Could you remove my name from the list to avoid confusion?

[BrianW]

Mike S.

I have emailed you twice, on Thursday and on Sunday, but I don't appear to be among the people you've replied to as I haven't receive an email from you.

"Mike S.

Hi Brian

I've emailed you again - please can you check your junk folder if you don't receive it - since Tiscali took over Pipex emails sometimes seem to gett redirected. The source will be mgww... rather than Mike Shimwell.

The price is £21 per print in the UK and payment details are in the mail.

Thanks to everyone who has paid already. I'm now about to go through the emails and add you to the list.

Mike
