Uhhhhhhhhhhh hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. x]

As weird as it may sound.
Some art materials aren't being sold where I currently am residing at.
Which is Costa Rica.

If no one has any idea where that is (since I'm aware most ppl don't even know it exists among other ideas). Its in Central America yes... the little bridge you see on your map connecting North A. with South A. T___________________T
Because trust me, I had ppl asking me crazy and funny questions about C.R.



And to kill the curiosity yes, I'm an asian girl currently living in a latin country. domokun


The thing is, I don't want to bother my cousin at L.A. anymore to get them for me, or some other cousins of mine at Taiwan either since most of my family is there.

So. Do anyone of you know a fairly GOOD and SAFE site where I can get art supplies online and have them shipped internationally (to C.R.) without any problems?


Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance <3

I buy from http://www.utrechtart.com/
I also get a student discount and I get coupons all the time. They have deals with certain schools.

Shipping is a lot overseas, so let me know and I'll see if I have a valid coupon code for you to use. 3nodding

Hey thanks. xD
I think everything on that site is ok. There's just one small problem:


*Please note: We can not deliver to Post Office Boxes.
That was part of the shipping information

Have you tried http://www.dickblick.com/ yet? I don't know their stance on shipping to Costa Rica, but they are a fantastic place to get supplies.

Uhh, I'm not sure if they'd deliver to a P.O. box, but www.megagear.com has some reasonable stuff for supplies.

Ouch. Is there someone nearby who can accept the boxes that you know won't steal anything? (Cause I know that I've had a neightbor that stole something I ordered before.)

I go to MisterArt.com. You'll have to check though, I live in the US so I've never had to worry about this kind of thing. >>

I know once I bought someone a gift card for an online site that supplied art materials instead of going through paypal for them ^^
Of course it may cost extra for shipping but that can all be put on the card :3

Thanks everyone!
Although, I'll be getting a bunch of stuff @ my grad trip.
So that should be sorted out by Jan 08.

Guess I'll stick to tablet for now ;P
