I heard back from the Ito Shoji Co. in Japan. It took them around 2 weeks to get back to me, because of the language thing. Because we speak English and they speak Japanese, this makes ordering very difficult, so please be patient in all of this. Also, this company does not normally export or ship to the US, so this is all new to them too, they are figuring this out as they go, just as we are.

Right now I am trying to find out who is interested in ordering planters and how many are wanted. I need a total # of planters we are going to order before I can get a price for shipping. That's how it works, so don't ask me how much they will cost before ordering...I don't know! Obviously the company knows that if the amount is outrageous we are not going to order them.

We can also order just the foam inserts, or order them as extras for our baskets for the next few years. I don't intend on make another order like this, so please don't rely on me to do so. If you think you want may want extra inserts next year plan on getting them now or taking care of it yourself.

Also, PLEASE don't tell me you want one planter now to see what the price is and then end up ordering 6. THAT WILL CHANGE THE PRICE of shipping!!!!! It will mess things up and no one will appreciate it, especially me or the company I am dealing with. I'm sorry this is how it is, I don't like it either. I don't know why it's this way, I don't know how it works. If I knew the price I would tell you. If you don't trust that I'm telling you the truth then do the homework I did and contact them yourself...I have posted ALL the info you need in this forum.

I'm not trying to be mean or snotty, this is just how it has to be. I need everyone who wants these to get in NOW. I can't add on to the order later, and there won't be another order done by me. If someone else wants to do it another way, be my guest. You'll feel the same way 2 seconds into it.

With that said, I'm going to link the other threads to this one. Please list all interest in ordering planters here.

Here is the pic of the planter. I have been told by the company that the price per planter is 1,700 yen. According to yahoo currency converter http://finance.yahoo.com/currency that is about $15.00 US.
