  • Re: Nuova Point Cup Sale

    Please note that I have decided to suspend any further orders at this stage - there are a few sets (very few) remaining, however I would like to set some of these aside as replacements in case of any breakages (please, let there be no such thing).

    A huge thankyou to everyone who has asked questions, expressed interest, and purchased along the way. I never imagined that this thread would be read by so many people and to tell the truth, I almost decided not to proceed due to the amount of orders I had at the time, compared to the amount required to break even. It was a new experience for me to transfer a considerable amount of money to NP via telegraphic transfer and beads of perspiration formed on my forehead while I checked that I had transposed the 27 digit IBAN code correctly on the application.

    It was another new venture dealing with Worldwide Customs and Forwarding Agents, though I felt quite comforted when they sent an email including the comment "we will look after your shipment".

    Ive had many thankyou messages and although these have been appreciated, none of this would have been considered possible if not for the generosity of Mr. Andy Freeman. I call him by his title as he is indeed a true gentleman, and by sponsoring this thread has enabled 48 Coffee Snobs to date, to purchase cups, that otherwise would not be available. Thankyou Andy - Ill make sure the 1st set mailed will be posted to you!

        Our cargo of cups has left the factory and I am awaiting advice on the details of the vessel.

                        GOOD NEWS!

                        I have today contacted Worldwide Customs and Forwarding Agents who are the people I chose to take care of our consignment.

                        They have informed me that our cups are on board the "Adelaide Express" (its not a train, its a ship) which is owned and operated by Hapag Lloyd. The ship was originally meant to leave on the 3rd October and arrive here on the 27th October, but didnt get into the port of La Sprezia on time, eventually leaving the port on the 7th October.

                        The consignment is now due to arrive in Sydney on the 1st November!

                        Yippee yi ah!

                            Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Might be an end of semester present for myself by the sounds of it.
