Good Point Jay,
In fact, I am about to re-do the Walsall pages to reflect the larger range of Shohin Pots... and others.... all for under $50. These post easily anywhere in the world.
There is certainly reluctance to buy from pictures, pots that retail above say $100 - $150. We are therefore changing things at the higher end to reflect "what" can be done and at what price. These will then be available at various distributors across Europe to feel and touch before making your choice.
There is still a major problem in getting anything of size and weight over to you guys in the states... so if anyone is in the International freight market... by all means send me a PM.
If only one of the International Air carriers (FedEx - DHL etc...) took the brave step to offer a 10 day service rather than overnight or within 48 hours..... I think a whole new demand would be created and prices would fall to sensible levels. However, that would still not remove the "must see" aspect, but might make it easier for a small volume manufacturer to get product out to retailers at a commercially viable rate.
Even a timber crate packed with say 100 pots and shipped in around 8 weeks would work out at $10 per pot... and with the exchange rate... it makes the larger sizes costly.
No easy solution
Regards,
Ian.
