I've bought a big shot today!

[soapbox]

And a few dies for it. From the shop that won't be mentioned but hopefully it will all turn up!

I've also bought some great brads and eyelets from a US supplier who only charges $5 delivery charge.

Oh and lots of other bits and pieces too!

That's all my Christmas money spent, but looking forward to spending the winter months getting into a new hobby

Customs charge is pot luck - sometimes you get charged, sometimes you don't. It's only equivalent to VAT plus maybe a handling charge I think.

Maybe I'll get all our Disney World photos in an album now...

I thought you were not charged customs if the total order inc P&P was less than £50 sterling????

Heaven knows, I always assume it's pot luck and am prepared to pay it if it happens. I wuld have thought the orders were generally small enough though as you can bring back that sort of value from a trip can't you?

it is over £18.

it does seem to be a matter of luck wether or not you get charged or not.

Well, mine's under £18 at today's exchange rate

and it's been shipped already!

Thanks Soupie.

Oops mine was a bit more than £18!

Oh well, I'm only starting out so I have to buy it all from scratch (says she convincing herself)!

I was being very restrained...

lol
