    First and foremost, shipping will cost you alot because of distance and I don't think Gorvin will go international that far(have to ask him). If you packed your material in gaylords(double/tripple-wall boxes on pallets) that would probably help on shipping rather then attempting to ship an entire container. Also location will dictate price. It'll be less expensive to ship to Florida then to NY.

    Secondly, I would suggest video conferencing instead of a physical trip, again because of cost of airfare. Just some logistics to think about when creating business relationships. You can PM me if you have any questions on anything.
