Sponge forceps to Canada - price w/delivery
I just ordered from Amazon.ca. Keep in mind that these prices are both with Amazon Prime (express delivery, from local warehouse presumably). I subscribed to that premium delivery service because shipping from mega-market USA is a price booster. Plus, coincidently one gets Prime Video, a competitor to Netflix which in my estimation has equally lame selection.
1. 7" - $17 CAD (USD13) for immediate use with my hanging doll. Delivery within 2 days. Amazon says today's date. I am skeptical
2. almost 10" - $11 CAD (USD8+) delivery from Ireland within 2-4 weeks (BTW, an unrelated delivery I had from UK rather than Eire was just a few weeks, so well within maximum. I often order from outside Canada/USA and it's no big deal, so other than the embarrasment and speed factors I don't understand why so many people insist on paying higher prices of buying new dolls from domestic dealers. Personally, I would rather get a deal on an airfare and buy direct from China or Japan - and enjoy a trip as well! I buy domestically only for second-hand).
I ordered the shorter forceps first, then on further consideration, and rereading of relevant post here, decided it is best to have a backup. Also, I am not certain whether 'seven inches' means including the handle. I doubt these prices could be any better from a thrift store. And good luck finding *sponge* forceps without a thousand visits.
Next time I am in China I will buy a dozen and trade with forum members. BTW, is barter permitted on TDF? I am not a dealer per se.
