Thanked: 0Buy a Norton 4000/8000 in Europe
Hi!
I am searching for a Norton 4000/8000 stone, big preference for Europe sellers.
Can you please help me to find good prices for it? There should be European people here who has for sure bought one.
Thank you very much for your help!
Alexandre,
France (Strasbourg).

The Perfect Edge
Howard's prices are hard to beat. European sellers are overpriced.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

I'm based in Northern Ireland and took delivery of some hones last week from Howard at perfect edge. Howard offers an excellent service and the cost of shipping was around $40 which isn't too bad when you consider the saving on the hones compared with european prices.
I bought three hones from him and he told me that the first kg of postage was the highest, additional kilos are much cheaper. Delivery time was approximately 2 weeks.

Thanked: 0So you are saying I should buy many hones on one time to pay off shipping...
I am a total noob, I don't need so much to beginn for the moment. I hope. This is enough expensive...
No custom taxes?
If I buy only one, I am not far from european prices. With risk of custon taxes that don't exist when order here.
If someone else in Europe is searching for the same thing, we could arrange us.

I am "Alexandre", I already wrote to you about it.
You answered me, and I thank you! You just didn't answer about first class mail yet...
