I successfully bid on some empty dilbert tins on ebay, they were fairly cheap since no one else bid on them but the shipping is the killer! Probably the reason why Altoids.com didn't want to do international shipping unless to retailers.

???

I didn't find the dilberts'

I buxom lady altoids came in.

Now waiting for the love tin,Tiny Tin(wintergreen),Apple Sour,Tiny Tin(peppermint) and Heat Miser Cinnamon.

Only hope that the ch*w*ng g*m altoids can make it in whistling.gif

 

a side note on shipping, if u find shipping too high, do you guys ever bargain on the shipping/handling charges?

I attempted this not too long ago on something from eBay and the result is suprising.

The seller actually lower the price, but his answer was given in such a way that i expect the packaging quality to go down.I know that packaging/handling charges is one of the ways they earn on a deal but the rates are way too high for some.

Patchi luxury chocolates from Saudi. The tin has a neat window which should make a great looking DIY amp enclosure. Measures 5 5/8'' x 4'' x 1 3/4" (LxBxD). Deep enough for the obligatory Neutrik socket & Alps/Noble pot!
