What finished weight & charges to expect.


On Average - If you supply us with 100 Grams of Rough Material, and it is of good Shape , Quality , Proportion and Color, we can expect a 25 % Return. So for every 100 Grams that you supply , you can hope to get 25 Grams of Finished Faceted Stone. ( Sometimes More or Less )
If the Finished FACETED Stones weigh an Average of 5 Carats Each ( Remember that 5 Carats = 1 Gram ) , You would receive Twenty Five , 5 Carat Stones. You can expect a bill of $4.50 for Each Piece , which would amount to 25 Pieces X $ 4.50 = $ 112.50 ( U.S. $ 0.00 ) , Plus Shipping Costs.. NO TAX...

Shipping Costs

We only charge you only what we pay ourselves. No hidden charges or games here.

We have found the thai airmail postal system to be the most cost effective and efficient, usually making delivery in 10 bussiness days or less. The average cost of a 50 Gram envelope is $3.00 90% of our longterm customers use the method. You can have your mail sent " Registered " for an extra $2.00.

-------------------------------------------------

If you require the extra speed and security of UPS, TNT or FEDEX, we can cater to your needs.
We find UPS to be the best express carrier from thailand and will always recommend their services first.
Usual delivery is in 4 Bussines days. The average cost of a UPS Express envelope is $24.00 + Insurance
