Hi Chris,

I received an answer from WNC after a question about the shipping costs.
I wanted to buy a quart package (7 rolls) and some 10 4" blue containers.
However, the shipping calculator on their site indicated a shipping cost
which was way too much (shipping to The Netherlands).
They would look into it ... that was 3 weeks ago, and I never heard back.

But there is also good news!
Herbert pointed me to ebay item #230099227038. This guy, Jeff, lists
1" paper rolls for just $4 per box. And in a box are 7 rolls!
That is a bargain, and I bought 2 boxes. Shipping costst are $101.50, but
still 14 rolls for $110 is cheap. I am keeping 2 rolls, the others go to
other listmembers in the UK and Sweden.

So, if somebody needs 1" paper tape, go for #230099227038 :-)
When I bought the 2 boxes he still had 39 left ...

Question.
If somebody orders at WNC, I am interested in buying 8 to 10 R30 blue
containers at $3.05 each.

thanks,
- Henk.
