Title: [Potential Selling]Foodstuffs and one other service Post by: Third Way on May 02, 2011, 09:41:19 AM I excuse for the bad English, quite tired, not my language. I have a question about U.S. or E.U. based customers regarding the buying of things such as vegetables or some fruits over the mail. My big concern is that this is not possible, but if I can find out or someone can be of help I gladly appreciate it.
I am based in U.S.A. territory, Puerto Rico so all U.S. laws AND P.R. laws are applicable to me(what a bad deal, right? Such cases.), now if anyone interested I could provide with: Mangoes, Star Fruit Lemons Plantains Pigeon Peas Mandarin Oranges[I get back to you on this one] I am willing to set a BTC price of per pound and relate it to the exchange rate as well. The other service. This other service I find a bit childish or silly, but I have so much time now that I am unemployed and only go to college 2 days weekly I am also willing to take requests from people to do their research papers on homework papers. Not much but something I can do. Title: Re: [Potential Selling]Foodstuffs and one other service Post by: Garrett Burgwardt on May 02, 2011, 10:38:44 AM I'd be interested in mandarin oranges and maybe mangoes, could you give an estimate for how much a pound of each would be shipped to the USA (14127 if that helps with calculating shipping)?
Title: Re: [Potential Selling]Foodstuffs and one other service Post by: Third Way on May 02, 2011, 11:05:03 AM I calculated shipping, but not the price, because the way things look, shipping may turn a lot of people off, because the cost of shipping can be a bit more than the fruits and goods themselves.
As of today shipping in a USPS(sorry for lack of other post-mail services) Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box to 14127 which I assume is New York, (is that right?) for both products would be $10.95 I still want to be better able to quote prices for both seeing the BTC "value" go up and down as it has, but I think it is as stable as it has been for a few days at $3.08 Title: Re: [Potential Selling]Foodstuffs and one other service Post by: Third Way on May 02, 2011, 11:47:08 AM I have two more fruits and one more vegetable to the list available.
Guavas Papayas Small Tomato (the little mini round ones, not regular tomatoes) Also, though it makes things a bit harder sometimes to start a grow I do not use any pesticide. Anyone can up and say they don't use them but if anyone is interested I can go around the backyard and take pictures of what is currently growing and will be available most promptly. Though I can't force mother nature.

Shipping isn't that bad, I assume it's fast enough that the fruit wouldn't spoil? And I suppose only a pound is too small of an amount to be economical with regards to shipping - how about 2 lbs of mandarin oranges and a pound of mangoes and 1 guava and 1 papaya (how much are you growing!? :) I don't want to buy ALL your fruit, then you'd have nothing delicious to enjoy!) And if you could show us pictures of your growing operation, that'd be pretty cool. It's still terribly rainy and cold and dark up in New York. For rough price quotes, quote in whatever currency you want and at time of payment the amount of btc can be decided. I just want to know approximately how much I'd be paying. |
