I'm trying to find somewhere I can order these in bulk and get a discount.
Hopefully you know what I mean - they're basically flatpicks with a thumbpick hook, and they're great!

Loads of USA sites where 24 picks go for about $20...nothing in UK, nor Europe, as far as I can see.
If I can find a USA site that'll post them to here I guess that'd do and hopefully they'd sneak past any Customs charges(!)

So, anyone know anywhere nearby I can order them cheaply??
Thanks
Iain

Here in Holland, I went to a local guitar shop (Robert's Guitars in Hilversum), and showed one to the guy at the counter. He said he'd order a bunch and he did, so they're always there when I want them. He even ordered me some 10-string steel guitar sets, which I couldn't find back in my home town Oakland CA. Maybe if you ask a local shop they'll do it in bulk for you.

I managed to get somewhere to do that before, but it wasn't cheap and it's a bit frustrating to see the disparity between online USA prices and here - would mean a difference of about £12 (call that $16).

Might have to resort to that again as can't find a USA online seller that'll post to here and the Customs charge'd irritate me anyway.
They're great picks, don't know why they're not used or available more...

These guys in Germany have them. I just asked the local shop to try to get some for me. I hope thy will succeed, or I might be ordering from the germans, and that would be pricy compared to local shopping.

I asked them if they'd do a discount for bulk purchasing - they said no!
Strings prices there are good, though.
