POSTAGE INFO
~I send worldwide given that you give me a correct/valid address.
~I send mostly to America. Sometimes Canada, England and Australia
( Sending to Australia is cheaper since it's closer to NewZealand^_^ (I live in NZ) )
~I've also sent to (once or a few times) Netherlands, France, Brazil, Austria, South Africa, Belgium, India, Bermuda, Saudi arabia, Cyprus & Singapore

Below is a list to give you an idea of postage prices. (Postage depends on weight of package)

Minimum postage is $11.50NZD which is around $9.63USD (conversion rate changes everyday), for up to 200 grams (weight of package) which is about 10-30 sticks. 

So it's better to get at least 20-30 sticks because some people buy 10 sticks and the postage is more than the sticks and not really worth it.

The more the package weighs, it goes up by a couple of dollars
 up to 200g = 12.94NZD/ $10.67USD (10-30 sticks)
250g = 14.14NZD/ $11.65USD (40 sticks)
300g = 15.34NZD/ $12.64USD
350g = 16.55NZD/ $13.64USD
400g = 17.75NZD/ $14.63USD
450g = 18.96NZD/ $15.63USD
500g = 20.16NZD/ $16.62USD
550g = 21.36NZD/ $17.60USD (100 sticks)
...etc

It may be a bit more expensive to certain countries. But the main countries I send to (america, canada, england...) are the prices above
----------------------------------------


Disclaimer: Parcels from New Zealand to overseas do not have a tracking number (Unless you choose that option, but it's expensive, over $80) therefore I can not do anything if a package is not received, which rarely happens. 

You must provide a valid/ correct address and let me know if your address is different to the one on the Paypal account.

I am not responsible for the package once it is sent. I will give a refund (for the sticks only) if the package is sent back to me.

4-10 working days (not counting weekends or public holidays) is the target amount of days it takes to get there. In a few cases it has taken a month even with the target of 4-10 days.

Hey people! If you want to make a bigger diamond pattern swan, here are some written instructions sent in by spelcika1990 on Youtube:


(If you haven't seed the video for the normal sized diamond pattern swan, watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWEbFTdPhpk)

 spelcika1990's instructions:
Normal sized swan & Bigger swan





PIECES
770 white pieces (+48 for the neck)
494 colored pieces (+23 for the neck)

2. Outline the diamonds 3 times
3. Add another row of diamonds
4. Outline the diamonds 1 time
5. Add another row of diamonds

CHEST:
6. 2 white outlines on 2 diamonds
7. between 2 outlines (between the mountains) make a diamond
8. Around the diamond make 1 white outline
9. Add color outline
10. And add another white outline until the last colored piece (leave it for the neck)
11. Fill out the spaces between the diamonds with white

TAIL (inverted)
12. On top of the last diamond color piece put 2 color pieces
13. Continue with 1 white, 1 color, 4 white, 1 color, 4 white, 1 color, 4 white, 1 color, 4 white, 1 color, 4 white, 1 color, 1 white, 2 color pieces

16. Make 2 outlines around all 4 diamonds
17. Between mountain spaces add 3 diamonds
18. Outline 3 diamonds twice
19. Between mountiain spaces add 2 diamonds
20. Outline 2 diamonds twice

21. Now outline the whole tail with color pieces
22. Next outline is white
23. Finish with 2 color outlines around the whole tail.

NECK
I'm sure I don't need to have to explain you, it's the same, I used 48 white pieces and 23 colored pieces.

I added another black piece to make it realistic and another orange at the end.
