WARNING I sent $2000 and never got squat . I only deal with GEMWOOD for EIR. They will require a ban transfer . Also just to let you know , to import Rosewood into this country you will need to get a customs broker , this will cost you about $800 over and above the shipping. They may say we can use the postal service , and they may but I never saw my wood.
Just to let you know .
