    Hi,
    Does anyone know were I could purchase a Peter child pyrography online?
    Some English websites have them for sale for £99 but do not deliver to the Republic and the same kit costs €175 from McQuillans in Dublin!
    I would be expecting to pay about €130, were mcquillans are getting their prices from I don't know.
    Thanks

    Just get yourself a Parcel Motel account and order it from the UK.

    Even though they don't deliver to the republic!
    Will they deliver to the parcel motel because it is a P.O box number?

    Thanks

    Parcel Motel have an address in Northern Ireland that you can use.

    Read all about it here http://www.parcelmotel.com/

    I use it all the time to get stuff delivered from retailers who will only shop to UK addresses.

    I understand how it works now. Great stuff and thanks.
    If I don't find a Irish supplier then I still go down the motel route.

    I just phoned Goughtools on little Mary street in Dublin. A family run business with excellent customer service and they supply only the best tools, they quoted €155 including delivery.
    I think with exchange rates and motel charges it might not be too far off.

    Richard who runs the shop is a gentleman and very helpful, so I'd rather pay the extra to the likes of them .
    Thanks ;-)

    Make sure the box will fit in their pickup slots. If it doesn't then you'll get royally screwed as you get charged for the 'dimensional weight'.

    Hi,
    I ended up getting the Peter Child Pyrography Starter Kit from W.H. Raitt.
    They also have a great selection of quality tools and machinery.
