I am just curious if anyone has used the products from True Earth, http://www.true-earth.com/en-uk/index.html. I am curious to know how they work? Also has anyone ordered the products who lives in N. America, any issues with shipping?

Thanks

I received a few samples to review on my forum but haven't had a chance to fully test them out yet.

I ordered a good amount of items last week from them. I have asked questions about the products & sight to them directly. They have been really great on replying and providing answers. They sent my stuff last friday. So, just waiting (10 days). No problem so far, just the waiting !! agh ! lol.

okie dokes everyone. I just recieved my stuff from TRUE EARTH today !!!!! So from Italy to Los Angeles, 9 days. What I do like about the products is that on the labeling. It shows you what effects can be produced with that particular bottle. OK, yeah, so its the little stuff, but I still think its cool. I will definitely be buying from TRUE EARTH again. 5 THUMBS UP !!!

Hey Lou,
How many bottles did you order and how much was the shipping (if you don't mind me asking)? I once ordered a PE set direct from Royal Model (Italy) and the shipping was astronomical. I'm really interested in these products.

I ordered 11 bottles, think currency conversion is like 6.55usd per bottle. Total cost with s/h was around 82.00 usd.

Im going to use them possibly this weekend. But from the test runs I have done, im liking them shall we say. You also get a book that they PDF to you via email. Lots of pictures and techniques. Its worth it as far as im concerned.

Thanks Lou. Wow! $9.95 shipping for 11 bottles from Italy? That's better than some shops stateside! Now I'm really interested.
Post some experiment results photos if you can. OR you could go for the full adventure package and write a review for us! It's very easy.
