hmmm... that address seems inadequate for some reason. hell, sending a
letter to the next county in nc requires more than that! no zip
code-like things?

also...i know your first name is myron...is riverman your last name? g
do i preface it with herr doktor?

how about llbean gift certificates?

...or, even better, troutflies.com harry, can you simply charge my
account and send flies? that might be the best roff approach...pure,
within the newsgroup, and dang good flies at a good price.

I can set up something that would offer X number of flies for Y
amount of money, Y being what would amount to my cost. I will throw in
20 boxes for the flies......
The package would take more than two days though.

if this sounds viable, let me know- Hide quoted text -

Harry...this is very generous of you! Your prices and quality look
excellent, and I'm glad that I'm now in a postition to start buying
from you. I'm going to amend my LLBeans order and not get any flies or
boxes from them, but channel all this through you. Are you okay with
shipping stuff overseas? I will cover all the charges.

I'm imagining setting up an account with you and sending some seed
money from here and letting any roffians who wish to contribute do so.
Then, after a couple of weeks (Mid November) you can tell me what the
balance is, and I'll create the order based on that. that would give
you several weeks before they go out, which is fine. Should I email
you privately to discuss prices, etc?

Be sure the boxes that have your shop info on them....if any of these
kids become lifetime fishermen, there's no fly shops in HK so
hopefully this will have a spinoff effect for you. :-)

If anyone would rather tie some hand-tied flies for the kids, that
would still be wonderful and very special for the kids. I think the
best way would be to have each tyer just mail them in a simple
envelope....customs shouldn't be a problem for individual envelopes,
but I worry about some overzealous customs agent getting a red flag if
a package mentioned something about feathers and fur....it might jam
up the whole works. I think a box from Harry's shop would be less
worrisome, as it's a commercial enterprise.

Mailing stuff here is really easy...not like Congo.
