Hi, I usually am a lurker but this caught my eye. I have been waiting to get these rollers for years! I hope I am not too late.
I would like to purchase 3 pack of rollers and 1 pack of pins. I can send money asap once I receive PayPal invoice.

Lol! We're good ladies! The 6 are in, as of today we have our 48! #happydance
And so the pack I ordered last week arrived today. The turn-around time was exactly 7 days, so hopefully they're that prompt with the large group order. I weighed the pack in my kitchen scale and it weighs over a pound. 1lb 3.7oz to be exact.
The boxes I posted before cannot weigh more than 15.5 pounds (7kg) so they can only carry about 10 or 11 packs per box. So it's looking like those boxes are not going to work. AH...I'll will keep everyone posted. Trust that I'll try to find the best/most affordable option. And if anyone has any ideas, please post 'em up!

As an aside, the roller pack has another vendor listed on its tag. Now this vendor is pricier than our current one so we're not switching (unless they want to give me a better price, still trying to sort that out) but they do have two other sizes available. However only ONE pack of each. If anyone is interested in the red 1.5" (40mm) or the blue 1.3" (35mm) and willing to pay nearly as much as the 2"...lol...do let me know. Either by PM or written here.
This place has two locations in Paris so I would them pick them up locally. The price of the rollers would be added to your shipping price, if you've already placed an order.

I'm still concerned about how tight my set will be at waist length with 2 inches.......I don't want it too loose. Hopefully it will still look great.

@Amarilles If you're shipping from Europe to @MileHighDiva for most of the rollers, is there a reason you can't ship in the box the rollers come in? Assuming they come in one huge box, that is. Would that be cheaper than sending a bunch of smaller sized boxes?

@MissCrawford, here's a video of someone using them to get an idea of the curl. I think she's on the board.

1.5" is 17.11 € (tax included in both)
1.3" is 15.18 €

Indeed the plan has always been to ship one box to MileHigh, but I do hope we don't have to resort to shipping in the orignal box. A few days ago I posted a chart detailing regular international shipping, and there it shows 160€ ($180ish) for 20kg (44lbs)...and our package will weigh over 60lbs. I liked the box I had in mind using as it was a fixed rate box. If they charge us per weight and box size it will be an ugly price.
I'll check out a few different shipping carriers and update on this soon!

Checking in...we're at a solid 50, 53 packs to be exact. But look at this thread in page 3! I see y'all no longer care now that we've hit 48!
The other vendor that's listed on the pack is trying to beat our current our price, lol. I wasn't even trying to haggle, I just said "no thank you I have a better price" and the guy is all "who is your vendor and what price are they giving you??"
If we work something out I'll apply the credit to the overall shipping cost.

@Amarilles, I was wondering, with the large box needed to ship these rollers will there be any Customs fees associated? You should check that out. We wouldn't want any surprises down the line. Also, we would need to add that to the costs.

Hmmm... I don't think so, I've sent things to folks stateside and never been charged a custom fee...one US company did charge me an custom fee to ship to me here after I had already paid and everything, but DH and I never understood why. I'll definitely look into it, now that you mention it.. I don't think it will apply to us though!

That's so weird. You might be able to find it by searching 'French bouffant rollers' on Youtube, but if it's not working at all I dunno. You can also find examples if you look through the Setting for Success thread from 2015. Some of the ladies there have posted pictures of their takedowns and installations. (I've lurked a long time.)

@Amarilles, has anyone claimed the one (1) pack of red 1 1/2" rollers that you found?
