How are US folks paying Wilsons?

Money transfers inside EU are cheap- free for 2 working days transaction- and handy because of EU regulation and also taxation on trade is simple. Jari T made good points there. Hope trade rules between EU and USA will get simpler, proper treaty on commerce is needed. Situation is like 1960’s or something, feel sorry for our American friends.

I had no problems paying with my Visa card. Maybe they’ve heard about Julius Malema.

hehehe Wasn’t sure Master Majors. Good on We damned yanks do manage to generate enough of our own bad PR as 'tis though don’t we (-;

Damn I was hoping someone would say illict favors, body snatching, or body disposal. Well I guess we can’t get into every sale we want.

@AllanH: “Money transfers inside EU are cheap- free for 2 working days transaction- and handy because of EU regulation and also taxation on trade is simple.” Are you talking about money transfers from Ireland to another EU country or another country that has (sensibly) adopted the Euro ? The U.K. is in the E.U. but as I’ve said, bank transfers cost us a f****** fortune !

It’s all EU countries covered with this, not just Eurozone and all financial institutions follow the rules. Maybe UK got an exception or something, don’t know. My banks applied the new rules straight away some years back.

Wilsons & Co. (Sharrow) Ltd. P.O. Box 32, Sharrow Mills, Sheffield S11 8PL Great Britain (or do i use United Kingdom) Is this enough address to get my mail over to Wilson’s. The S11 looks almost like a zip code but I was uncertain. Anyway, I would like to get this in the mail so if somebody knows for sure please get back at me.

Use United Kingdom or just U.K. instead of Great Britain and the rest is fine. S11 8PL is a “post code” - our version of zip codes.

“S11 8PL” is indeed the post code. For the country use either United Kingdom or England.

Sent mine off today! I felt important getting my cashier’s check and going to the Post Office and declaring “This is heading for England!” Now…if I had to do it every time I ordered…

They still haven’t gotten back to me.

They don’t want your trade Xander (-;

Well, I got my check off today. I guess others have had trouble, but I have now sent and received 3 emails that were all answered within about 12 hours (but that could be due to me being like 8 hours behind GMT). Anyway, the lady that helped me said this was a temporary fix, but honestly after my Wilson’s order gets here I should have no reason to order snuff for at least 5 years. Seriously, I have to quit ordering.

This looked like a monumental hassle (why I’ve also not ordered larger quantities of molens from Jaap). I couldn’t see how they could honor a sale that ended on a Monday well before a mailed payment would get to them, couldn’t see try9ing to go out and fumbling around to making a money order or whatever I would have had to do. Really glad now that I just watched and stayed out of this one. Xander yer making me a bit paranoid (It was me who was looking at the Beatles)

Uh, well, they still have to honor the price at the time of the sale. The sale is a contract. As soon as they tell me how to pay, I will.

I wouldn’t be glad. I would be kicking myself for missing this one.

@Xander: Actually, they’re not under contract to do anything until they’ve taken money from you.

They made an offer, and I accepted. That’s the basic definition of a contract.

Xander is right about contract on sales. Payment method is a different matter.

I just sent them a good old fashion check and postage was only 0.98 USD. It may take longer, but I’m not anywhere near running out. And at 45.00 to wire money through my bank or 20.00 at western union, I’m fine using snail mail to keep this deal a bargain. I’m actually hoping I’ll just forget about this order and then be super surprised when it shows up.
