Re: Where to get pots?

Post by ralphrmartin »

Stuart,

if you have any shallow 8cm Kuma pots, could I persuade you to sell me about 500 (or whatever number thereabouts make up a box)?

I've tried contacting Schwarz Kakteen (in German) to see if he will deliver to the UK, but got no reply. :cry:

Otherwise, it's off to Uhlig...

Sorry, I don't have any spare pots, I only buy 6.5cm pots and space is always limited when I'm abroad so I can only buy 2 boxes at a time.

I tried Schwarz Kakteen a few weeks ago with a 500 euro order, likewise no response.

Hoi Ralph & Bill,

Schwarz Kakteen does not respont on emails! The emailadres is ONLY for ordering.
For info, just give him a call (0049 91 22 77 270). I do not kwow if he sells to the UK. (=UK still EU ???)
I ordered his low square pots 13x13x9 and 16x16x10 cm. Good quality and service.
Payment only by banktransfert. I dont believe he accepts paypal.

Peter.

Well, Kakteen Koch only deliver pots to Germany. As for Sima and Kakteen Schwarz, while I can just about manage some rudimentary German for an email, I'm not up to discussing details over the phone. How can businesses operate in this day and age without email? I suspect my order would be too small for Sima to directly supply me, anyhow.

As I said, I'll either order with Uhlig, or maybe piggyback on some order with Bill, when he gets back to me...

Yes it is very aqward not to be able to communicate with Swarz by e-mail. I have just placed the order, waited for a quote, this is sent by e-mail, payed by bank transfer (only option), and waited for a delivery. In the several orders, during 10 years or so, it has workt, and the Sima pots, and the labels I usually also buy, are good quality for the money.
