WayneMahler Posted February 28, 2018 Report Posted February 28, 2018 First thought this was a joke. Then I read the 4 Easy Payments. Good Grief Charlie Brown. OCtoolguy 1 Quote

Frank Pellow Posted February 28, 2018 Report Posted February 28, 2018 Hey, I really like New Zealand and have even thought of living there. But, a price like this for Baltic Birch Plywood is a strong deterrent. It makes me wonder about just how expensive other woodworking supplies and tools would be. OCtoolguy 1 Quote

OCtoolguy Posted February 28, 2018 Report Posted February 28, 2018 This wood was grown in a mushroom forest in Tasmania. And milled by gnomes. R Quote

So whoever does import it can charge what they like. Oh well, back to my reclaimed rimu! Rob OCtoolguy 1 Quote

It is a beautiful country but a lot of things are really expensive here. Some of that is due to our remoteness but a lot of it is lack of competition. Rob OCtoolguy 1 Quote
OCtoolguy Posted February 28, 2018 Report Posted February 28, 2018 That and the fact there are not many trees in Antartica. R Quote
ike Posted February 28, 2018 Report Posted February 28, 2018 That makes a piece of Baltic plywood 4'X5' fir $20.oo sound good IKE Quote
OCtoolguy Posted February 28, 2018 Report Posted February 28, 2018 Just for the sake of saying, isn't BB usually sold in 5' x 5' panels? At that rate, they are sending a very odd sizing. Or am I wrong? Also, I see that they ship it from the U.S. to anywhere in NZ. Most of that cost has to be in the shipping and import fees. R Quote
OCtoolguy Posted February 28, 2018 Report Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Just for the heck of it, I just went to their site and ordered 8 pieces 1/4" x 12" x 24". They don't offer it in the same size as that add so I just doubled the order to get the same board footage. It was $10 each but because I was ordering 8, I got it for $8 each. Free shipping to my home in So Cal. $80 total. Something doesn't make sense in that ad. R Edited February 28, 2018 by octoolguy Quote
Chiloquinruss Posted February 28, 2018 Report Posted February 28, 2018 I really don't see the problem, folks. I mean after all it does say "PREMIUM"! I think I would take up rock polishing before putting out that kinda cash! Russ OCtoolguy 1 Quote
