Thanks guys,

Another good day, I was at a Holiday complex today and the boss of it told me that he is cutting down most of his Pepper trees because they shed too many leaves etc. and it costs him a lot of money to get it picked up for disposal. Probably about 30+ trees in all, most about 8 to 10'. I couldn't see him struggle like that, so I very kindly offered to get rid of them for him, as long as he got them cut down. He was very grateful, of course. The best week I have had in a heck of a long time.  Cool. Too much Pepperwood, but it is good stuff.

I know, I am just too helpful sometimes aren't I.  Shocked Wink

Robert,

Sorry, it just all happened at once, after months of paperwork in Spanish, transators etc. etc. hard work and begging is a good combination. Begging seems to work very well here.  Shocked

If that's the case, then he should share.

Could be right, pepper makes me sneeze, more than happy to share, but the shipping may put some off. I think it works out to around $10 per lb. not much wood in a lb. or a pound or a £. Cry

Thanks all for comments, infamy here I went.   Undecided

Chuck, I'll look into it a bit more and see what I end up with.
I am about 2,000 miles south of Brendan, which may be the difference, but am glad to look at other shipping options and see if I can send a few bits out.  Cool

Leo,
Since your in a different country yours may not have flat rate international shipping.

No all we have is the CORREOS/ POST OFFICE, or very expensive private companies, but I will keep looking and just see what happens. Cry

You'll find that shipping to USA is a lot more expensive than shipping from - it's called greed...sorry, I mean 'market forces'.
