Has anyone ordered from multicolor lately?

Hi all,

I have ordered from Multicolour once in the past but it was a while ago. It was a kyanite for my mother. Anyway, I placed an small pair of mali garnets in my shopping cart today. I want them on either side of my small spessartite for a ring. Anyway, when I browsed the shipping options, it was $6.50 (which could take up to 90 days in to the U.S.) or $40 to $52! As you can imagine, the small pair of mali garnets is not very expensive. What should I do?

I live in the U.S. and purchased from them last year. Shipping was $40.

Thank you sparklesLuver! The pair I'm interested in is just under $50. I have seen mali garnet pairs anywhere else though and I know Multicolour has a good reputation. I just think the reliable shipping options are steep for such a small order.

Send David an email and see if he can offer you any other options. Worth an email. And yes, I agree about the shipping being costly for a purchase like yours.

I actually ended up placing a call. Those are the only shipping options. I told him that I would probably order the garnets when I had more items to add to the cart. Basically, I would bundle an order so the shipping price makes more since. I'm not sure who I spoke with, but he seemed to think that was the best option in my case. In other words, I'll just wait. Thanks again for your help!

Ah, okay. Well, now you know. Good thing you didn't link to them. I'm sure it won't be too hard to add to the cart once you're able. Sure thing!
