Bricklink Seller Review - Gruttoshop

Grutto makes me think more of an Italian word for greedy or engorged.  Or maybe it sounds like a cross between Greedo and Watto.  It's nice to know that the word is actually Dutch for a type of shore bird similar to a sand piper.  That made me feel more warm and fuzzy that I was supporting wildlife instead of fat selfish narcissism.  I like wildlife much better.  Can this store offer both low, low prices AND great service?  Read on to find out!

Recommendation
Prices are very low as is the Dutch shipping rates.  I tried unsuccessfully to reach the minimum of €12,50 in order to avoid the service fee.  Due to the low prices I ended up throwing a bunch of junk into my cart.  After reviewing it I threw a lot out, reduced the weight down to the next lower shipping point (leaving 25% for the mailer) and called it good.  I ended up with some nice sand green and dark turquoise pieces for pennies each as well as getting my pet parts for roughly 2/3 off!  Some of the printed tiles were very scratched and not noted as such.  They were all around 2-3 pennies each and they are for hidden filler anyway but you might want to be aware of that.  Even if you can't meet the minimum to avoid the service charge, this store is still a great deal.
