To my friends in the UK!
« on: January 16, 2016, 06:01:12 PM »
I wonder if anyone who lives near a post office might be able to do me a favor...?

I was reading this blog and found an idea for a flagstone floor:

https://thegrinningskull.wordpress.com/2015/07/31/grims-dungeons-of-doom-starting-at-the-bottom-dungeon-floors/

Looks pretty cool but I am having a hard time sourcing similar wallpaper.

I did find this one, looks great and a bargain too:

Would anyone be willing to ship me one if I purchase it and have it sent to you in the UK?

They do not ship to the US, unfortunately for me!

I can either paypal you money for the postage cost, or if you'd like, I can buy two so that you can keep one when they arrive.

Looks like shipping to US would be about 7-8 pounds so same difference to me, whichever you prefer.

Let me know, thanks!

Are you sure they don't sell this in the US? It's just standard Vinyl Bathroom/Kitchen Wallpaper. Or it may be called Embossed or Blown. I know in the UK and Canada you get it in any Home Decor store/Garden Centre. Have you tried Target/Canadian Tyre/Walmart?

I ask as I know the postage to Canada (and I assume the States) is horrendous. My family and I have stopped sending presents across the Atlantic as the postage was coming to more than the presents.

I know the voices aren't real .... but they have such FASCINATING ideas!

Salibaba, I'd recommend the international delivery companies, as per Ximtao's recommendation, but if you don't want to use them happy to be a Brit of assistance send me a PM to arrange - we'll work out postage and payment via PayPal.

Thanks for all the responses folks... all sorted.

I knew someone would offer to help out!

Funny how it seems like a "community" even when people are spread across the globe and have never met, when you're involved in such a niche hobby!
