New Terra?

helenfc · February 26, 2012, 02:06:01 PM

So I keep seeing people popping up on LE chatting about DH releasing 'Terra' made to the original batch from years ago and just as lovely. Does anyone know any more about it, and will we be getting it in the UK? (Hint hint suppliers

)

Just found this...must.wait.til.payday...
(do you think customs would catch a $25 order?)

Not sure Helen, but I know a lot of folks over on LE were disputing that this is like the original Terra, and a lot of people were getting nowt from it

Yes they will ... ask me how I know!! The tax free limit has been dropped from £18 to £15. I was over by about 60p and it cost me over £11!

I've had a quick play with it ... only very quick and I'm getting colours from it!

hmmm, it is tempting, off for a good thorough read on LE...but not sure I fancy footing that customs charge! What is their postage like? x

Something like $7

If I were you, I'd go in with others and place one big order then the £8 PO handling fee won't be so bad. You could dish out at FO

If the parcel gets too large it apparently goes to Parcelfarce and they charge a £15 fee - RM has never charged me more than £8, PF always charge me £15. When I queried it PF said it was the size of the parcel.

I bought some and had it sent to my friend Florida hotel - and it was stolen by the staff from what we can tell. Delivered but not passed on ... very angry

Especially as a US friend has some and used it side by side with original terra and loved it!

Oh, rubbish Sue!!

Seems like a very specialised, weird thing to steal?

Would anyone be interested in a joint order then maybe? After Tuesday though!

I LOVE some. Terra Original is my all time favourite glass. Please let me know if anyone wants to place an order.

I can't afford it after losing so much (wasn't just the terra), I wish I could

helenfc · February 26, 2012, 04:43:06 PM

Sal I would be interested, but if I was organising would need payment from everyone like the same day as am very muchly broke atm (not broke enough to stop me from getting my mitts on 1/4lb of Terra though bwahhahaha)

Sue, that is so awful, is there no way you can claim anything? xx

awrylemming · February 26, 2012, 04:47:06 PM

My friend has to get the ball rolling as it was sent to her, but she's up to her eyeballs at work at the moment, she's a head physio and like most areas of work nowadays, she's lost staff and is working a skeleton crew. Hopefully, we'll be able to address it on Tuesday at dinner $:-\$

Redhotsal · February 26, 2012, 04:48:30 PM

Yes, I can pay up front. Just let me know what/when/how much etc. if you do decide to go ahead, Helen. Thank you

helenfc · February 26, 2012, 04:52:08 PM

Whoop! anyone else?

Hope you get it sorted quikly Sue x
