Dear Ursula
I am buying from Masomeh Shambayati, who sends us a selected list every 3
month. She has also been helpful with special requests. The ordinary post
is slow but has proved reliable so far. In the recent past we had great
difficulties paying anyone from Iran or even related to Iran, who did not
have a bank account in the UK. This is something to watch out for.
Please get in touch if you need more details.
Best wishes
Yasmin
