    Random Question

    What is the least expensive way to order a Lonsdale Authentic Peanut bag? I noticed if I were to get it shipped directly to me it would cost about just as much as the bag itself...

    Would it cost less if I got it shipped to my friend's place in London then he ship it to me or would it be about the same?

    Also, which of the UK Lonsdale bags would you say is the best? The Authentic Peanut or the Super Pro 8?

    My swiss friend is coming here in July and he can get his hands on a Super Pro 8 but not the Authentic Peanut...

    Any thoughts UK baggers?

    P.S. Does anyone want to participate in a group purchase from SugarRays? We can divide the shipping of ~$43 between however many people choose to get something, then I'll send you your items via your choice of shipping if you want to pay the extra (I'll ask Ralph what his method is). If anything, it will be less expensive for all of us instead of paying a buttload on shipping

    Please let me know if you are interested!!!

    Would think much less to have your friend ship it. A bag is lightweight, I get old books from the UK and the shipping is not outrageous.

      I have wondered the same. If you are going to get one, maybe we could get 2 and combine shipping. I'm in Sacramento area and my son lives in the bay area so it might work out. I would love a natural color peanut bag.

          I'm a big fan of the Lonsdale authentic peanut and also live in the UK. I'm happy to ship bags to you if it works out cheaper, I'm sure it will. I'll check the price and PM you.

                          I haven't them personally but they are all the rage right now. I see lots of people using them around here and they are now include in most local gyms and fitness centers.

                            Got my Peanut Ball (Thanks to Mrs. Mitts!)...and love, love, love it! It's really nice to hit, has a great shape, quality bag (ball) & just plain pretty. It's a nice addition to the collection.

                              I have the same questions

                              In addition to the questions below, I'm also interested to see a comparison to size of the Lonsdale authentic peanut (brown) next to a Cleto Reyes.

                              If you haven't ordered yet, I'd be interested in jumping if someone can answer these questions.
