Anyone have any 11mm-3 hole or 2 hole stanchions for sell? In the US. (Photo attached)
IMG_7197.pngI’m look for 15-20 plus, if you have them.
I found some across the big pond, but postage is outrageous

What do you consider outrageous for brass pins, maybe it is the shipping that drives up cost.

I see a bag of 20 for $11 online.

Thank you for the reply.
Yes shipping costs $25 or more.
Where at online? I’ve done searches and only place is in the UK

I’d be happy to take delivery for you and put it in the mail to you Justin.
Shouldn’t be more than 2 USD to post if we can make that work.

Thanks for the offer. I found some on eBay that will work for me.
Maybe on the next project, I’ll reach out to you.
 
How Tariffs Work for missing pieces. I contacted Occre for replacement of a missing part from my Diana wooden model ship kit. They said that due to the new US tariffs they could no longer send a free replacement since the regular post did not collect tariffs. They would send if I wanted to pay Fedex and any duties. So they sent the part, worth about 50 cents, by Fedex, costing me 10 pounds. They listed the value of the part as 1 cent. Fedex helpfully collected the tariff on 10 pounds (plus 1 cent) of $1.50 and charged $4.50 as a handling fee, all of which was billed to me by Fedex a few weeks later. So, the free replacement part for a kit previously imported from Spain under the pre-Trump tariff regime cost me $19.36. When the Supreme Court overturns its injunction on lower court rulings the tariffs are illegal sometime in 2030, I should hopefully get a refund of $1.50 from the US Treasury (maybe subject to a $4.50 handling fee by Fedex) leaving me out of pocket at least $17.86 for what would have previously been a cost of zero. And that is how Tariffs Work for model ship builders who already have their kits.
 
Perhaps there’s a place for reciprocal arrangements here - uk members could take delivery of small parts from uk suppliers and mail to USA in the normal post. Likewise US members could do the same back the other way..
We’d need to sort out the postage payment arrangements but, just a thought?
 
Hi,
I was looking for some suppliers (chains, stanchions, etc) and found a promising-looking one, the name of which rang a bell with me from ancient times: Maristella. But the site does not respond, and there was also a sign of 'Not secure'. What happened to Maristella then?

Turnabout is fair play, I suppose. In 1773 in Boston harbor, we Yankees took exception to an English king's tariff tax on tea and we all know how that turned out!
