Help with 2 x 2 & 1½ x 1½ Staple type

[Nevol]

After successfully ordering some Dansco Supreme Albums from a link supplied by Mila, I am now on the hunt for some of these at reasonable prices. I think they're too expensive in Australia.  $6.50 for 50 staple types. 

I was all set to order some from Canada a few months ago, but the postage by surface mail to Australia was ridiculous, and I was advised by Wendy Schell at Colonial Acres that Canada post does not ship airmail to Australia so… 

Surface mail $33.75 for 1000 and $57 for 2000 - 8 weeks delivery
Express Post $66 x 1000 & $138 x 2000 - 7-9 days (Express Post - Is this NOT Air Mail ?)

I tried Brent-Krueger as well, same result, freight put the total cost way out of the question.

Let me see what I can find for you Nancy.
Are you looking for retail store or ebay seller?

Be back soon.

Ok... this one I can go directly to the store. Long trip for me though (don't drive) I try not to go too often. Not sure if they ship to Austraila though. You can send email and ask.

BTW the same place you purchased the albums also has these holders.

I always use airtite.com, but the price of the freight is still a killer. It doubles the cost of the 2x2's, but still a lot cheaper than buying them here.

[Nevol]

Thanks folks.  I'll get busy emailing & see what I can find out. 

I'll let everyone know if/when I order some & how much it all costs.

I might start with airtite.com seeing as how Steve already gets them there cheaper than in Aust.

Maybe you can buy in bulk and sell to club members Nevol.

I am sure some would be interested in a cheaper price than they are paying now.

I thought about doing that, but I haven't got the ready funds to start it.

[Nevol]

I could probably do this on a small scale, but I think it would only be for local Brisbane members as if I had to post them around Australia, I think any savings might be lost.   

I'd also need to know what sizes & quantities people would need, or if locals are even interested. 

[humpybong]

A week to late....at ANDA I purchased a box that contains 50 of each size, so that will late me for a few weeks or so.

Purchased the box because it was like a dispenser for the 2 X 2's which I thought was a good idea.

[Nevol]

I did a lot of work on my US Collection today & realised I don't really like the US type of 2x2's very much.  They don't have the little half circle tab on the top, & I rather like having that.  Curses, back to the drawing board.  I'm glad I didn't rush off and order a couple thousand, I'd be spitting chips.

Airtite.com takes me to Ebay & I'm trying to avoid buying from there.  I can get 50 for $6.50 from my local supplier & no postage involved.

If anyone knows of a US supplier who has the holders with the half circle tab, please let me know. Thanks.

Nancy, sorry the addy for airtites.com should be air-tites.com, here is the link anyway... http://www.air-tites.com/Cardboard_2x2_Coin_Holders.htm

The self seal 2 x 2's at the bottom of the page, have the tab on them.

If you can get 50 for $6.50 though, it looks like a good price.
