Re: CEBIT Expo 2006 GNOME Booth

2006-07-26 Thread Murray Cumming
 We got members in Istanbul, and currently I'm in Ankara, but it's no
 problem to ship stuff to Istanbul because Expo is in Istanbul as well.

I found the Expo's postcode in Istanbul to use with the UPS calculator. It
would cost around 400 Euros for each delivery, so that would be 800 Euros
to get it there and back. So, that plus the expected customs/border
problems make this a bad idea.

I don't think it would be economical or reliable to send a poster either.
I think it would be a much better idea to print some posters in Turkey for
you to use repeatedly.

I feel sure that the GNOME board would like to give you some money to do
this. You should ask them on [EMAIL PROTECTED], suggesting what you
need and precisely how much it will cost, plus by when you need it.

  Hi Murray;
 
  There's a possibility that we might have a GNOME Booth at CEBIT Eurasia,

  Expo is 5 days long, and it's possible that we will there for 5 days.
  Expo starts at 5th of September, and people will start setting their
  stands starting at 2nd of September.
 
  Can you please tell me the availability of GNOME Event Box for that
  event? If you can ship one to Turkey, can you please tell me the average
  cost and customs information about shipment from Germany to Turkey (if
  possible)?
 
 Baris, yes the event box seems to be available for that time. But I doubt
 that we would be able to ship it to Turkey easily. We would probably have
 delays and costs at the border.
It generally does not cost astronomic amounts. And you generally get
items from customs easily (if you list the ingredients completely). (I
had shipments from different countries of Europe before). Is it possible
to ask for UPS, or DHL about such a delivery? 

Forgetting about hardware, do you have some booth material handy to ship
to us? Like GNOME Poster, lanyards, t-shirt etc? Shipping them might not
cause any customs problem.

 
 Feel free to CC marketing-list.

UPS have an online calculator. But I need a postcode/Zipcode in Turkey (I
guess it is in Istanbul.)

There is a big GNOME foot poster, but I am currently trying to get it back
from Sven Herzberg. He's a pain.
