I set up a Facebook site to promote my work & hopefully to get new customers & I'm pleased to say it's working pretty well after just 2 weeks.

I got a message from someone in New Zealand who liked one particular mug & I told him how much it would cost to send a single mug to New Zealnd. He's come back to me saying he would like 50 mugs as he would like to give these as Christmas presents to family & friends.

In the past I have sent packages of products to Australia which has consisted of something like 3 mugs, 3 T-shirts, mouse mats, key rings & button badges which will fit into something shoe box size & costs about £50 via DHL.

I'm now sat here scratching my head wondering how the hell do I get 50 mugs to New Zealand. Any of you good people here have any ideas please.:wink:

FedEx... assuming these are European Mugs I can estimate a weight and get a price for you. If you want to pm me the zip code and area I'll get a price for you.

Also worth putting the details into something like:

http://www.interparcel.com

where they then trawl for prices for you from different companies.

Many thanks Martin & I will get the address details tomorrow all being well. They're all asleep over there just now. Each mug will be in a smash proof box & the weight for each mug in a box is 0.434kg.

Many thanks mate. :biggrin:
