Am I wasting my time & money with Mac glue

Hi gals,

Started looking into getting some mac glue shipped here to Australia from the US, am I wasting time and money? The shipping will cost way more then the glue!

Where does one purchase the Mac glue? Is it a Michael's or Hobby Lobby kind of item? HD or Lowe's? Delphi?

Linlee, I don't know what the shipping charge would be on 8 oz of glue, but I know that when we were buying a certain type of wood material, the best sample was from a firm in Australia but the shipping from Australia was astronomical and we had to buy elsewhere. Mac glue doesn't seem to be widely distributed yet. I can find it in Fort Worth and California but not much elsewhere.

Maryland mosaics also carries it.

WHAT IF...one of us bought it and shipped it to you. Would it still cost as much for you? For Janie also...?

Has anyone considered being a distributor for Mac Glue? NO, I don't work for them. I live in Wisconsin, and have seen Tina on HGTV years ago, and I have now had her as a "Friend" on Myspace for a couple of years.

Anyway, I was just about to buy her glue from the website, and I noticed the Wholesale prices, and then saw that they only seem to have distributors in Ft. Worth, TX, Californina, Maryland, and...I can't remember. I was thinking, "Why don't I sell Mac Glue?" I mean, I'd be selling from a place between Milwaukee and Chicago.

Although, if someone can just buy it online, why not, right? Well, besides having to pay for shipping, I guess. The thing is, I noticed that the Wholesale price, compared to the Retail price, is rather amazing. I mean, you can buy a gallon jug wholesale for $80, or buy it retail from them for $130 + s/h for another $5.00. So, seems to me, buying it wholesale, being a distributor, might not be a bad idea, if it's a feasible idea...Like, if you have a business already, or are looking to have one. I've been working on a business for a while, but, I haven't gotten it all together yet, and I didn't plan to have a shop or anything.

I was just thinking, reading your posts here, from Australia, (yes from over a year ago...sorry), that since it can be so expensive to buy it from here, get it shipped to there, might it a good idea, if one were interested, in selling or distributing it in Australia.

Just a thought. I'm going to contact them now about distributing it in the Midwest.

Have a great day!
