Cheers Bruce....buying them that way is a lot cheaper than the $3.50 that I paid singly for mine at my local news agent....

...Thanks...

...I just went through the motions on the Officeworks site to see what the postage would be and it was $5.95 for two packs of pencils to me here on the Mid North Coast ...but if you spend $30.04 or more with them you get free postage. It seems a good deal for several years worth of pencils and much cheaper than the Chinagraphs that I was using :)

Cheers

Opps...I gave a bum steer in the last post... :oops: ...You need to spend $55.00 or more for free postage....I didn't read it correctly....I needed to spend another $30.04 to qualify for free postage...

...still the two packs for ~31 dollars is OK...still well less than buying them for $3.50 each!

A lot of trouble for white pencils John.
Wouldn't it be easier to order from O/works
next time you were in the city- Port McQ ?

Actually easier Bruce....Firstly I am 1/2 an hour from Port and then when I am in there I have to remember! :D ....so doing it online it is better because by the time I forget that I ordered them they will come in the mail to remind me! :wink:
...with the bonus of actually having them!:)

LOL

The awkward part is when something arrives on the doorstep and the wife asks, "so what did you get now?" and I can't remember what it was that I ordered. She's used to the um's I offer as an answer and just laughs at me. ADD and old age really do a number on the memory.
