I am wanting to add some True Earth paints and pigments to my collection. The only place I have been able to find them is in Italy and the UK. Is there a US supplier that carries the full range of colors and pigments? TIA

Anywhere outside of Italy? I have only heard bad things about their postal service. I ordered replacement parts for a kit and they arrived over a year later.

I have ordered several times from True Earth in Italy, shipping is reasonable, fast, and I have NEVER had an issue.

How do you figure, their prices are $7.11 USD while direct from the True Earth is about $6.50 USD.

Order from who you like, I just stated that ordering from them in Italy is not an issue. If you would rather order them from Poland be my guest.

You might want to check that again, that is the EURO price.

If you look to the right there is a little drop down, that allows you to pick the currency, and I was just there and is say $7.11 USD.

Have fun with that. You might want to read it fully before you go spouting off.

Those prices are not from the link you posted, but if you can get them for those prices, fill you boots.

Here is a screen shot from the website you posted.

Same site. Don't know why it is giving you different prices.

I have come across Michigan, but prefer to order from a site that has all of the True Earth products I am interested in. Saves on shipping and puts a few more dollars back in my wallet.

Michigan is more expensive than direct from True-Earth or jadarhobby.
