Are you sure? I emailed the owner of the company about shipment to Ireland and Switzerland, it was $4.00. It's just a little envelope.
Just saying...

I hadn't personally checked the amount, but as a generality I am a bit leary about costs of buying mail order from overseas. Especially as sometimes we will get charged duty on the item, which Royal Mail collects, and they then charge £8 on top of that for collecting the duty owed (regardless of whether it is £1 or £8 or more). That is the bit we have to look out for. If, however it is sent as a gift from a 'domestic' address, we are less likely to get stuck with the duty (provided it is under a certain amount, which I cannot remember at the moment)

The advantage with Lorna is that she has a miltary services address here in UK and it eases the flow - as it were....

PosyP OFFLINE Posts: 4106 Thank you received: 361	At the beginning of course Hey Lorna, there has been some interest in the spiral eye needles from those of us in UK (and possible Denmark too) but the postage from the site is prohibitive - any chance that you could come to our rescue on this?
