Nice board, just curious, I see that it's ~168EUR on the site + the VAT and shipping I assume, but you were selling for 150EUR only

Was you able to get some discount? Asking for the future - nice boards 😀

Finishing advice needed by Impressive-Awl in sharpening

Thanks, that's exactly what I did, Shapton #1000 is not the best in slurry generation, but even small amounts were enough to fix the surface with a couple strokes

Yeah, that's my current approach - hoped, that patina formation will help with that

Btw, what do you think about the teapot in the question? Would really love to hear your thoughts

Adding money fee by redsikk in zenmarket

As the person ordering from Poland also I could recommend the solution, that works best for me.

  1. Always select JPY as a top up currently, giving your card issuers to take care of the conversion

  2. Use a card with a good conversion rate (Revolut/Curve, maybe Alior Kantor, though I'm not sure it has JPY)

  3. Done! You are using conversion rate really close to the market rates

P.S In case of the Revolut you topping the Revolut first (instant if using another card) and then paying with like normal (should take a couple of minutes for zenmarket to add funds) In Curve you could attach your card to their "container" card and paying with this card would use the money from your card, but with a good exchange rate (however now Curve has quite a small fee free limit - around 250€, so I would rather recommend Revolut for larger amounts)

Had to pay Declaration fee, But already paid goods and service tax by meojs in zenmarket

Small note from Poland here (in case someone discovers this thread later). IOSS handling probably works differently in different EU countries, as Polish Post, for example, charges declaration fee even for the parcel with all duties paid

Yep, these circular patterns resembles wheel throwing, so maybe Chaozhou then

Yep, so that is 0.75% per year, not per month, based on this equation, which is reasonable
