[sdiy] high quality, affordable pots in Europe?

[Derek Holzer]

Hi Julian,

[replying on-list]

Thanks for the tip! However, shipping to Europe is expensive (GBP 27 for
10 pots in my initial test run of the site!) and I have been told (but
haven't confirmed it from the website yet) that there is a minimum GBP
100 order for non-UK customers.

Does anyone have a continental EU supplier for these?

best,
d.
