Post by: Vermis on 14 January 2015, 07:43:39 PM

Just saw this posted elsewhere:

Water-based paints, wood varnishes and enamels

...Volume per item should not exceed 150ml. There is no restriction on the number of items than can be sent in each package...

 :D

What sort of crazy world do I live in where people do reasonable and sane things sometimes?

Great work! I read this yesterday before going to sleep and immediately ordered a bunch of paints - probably will get all kinds of funny colors because I was too tired to think properly  lol

Excellent news!

Now we need to get them to reduce the Customs "handling fee" and stop this "in the interest of safety what's in the package" nonsense  >:(
