Threadless.com $9 sale

Threadless have everything reduced to $12, except the shirts reduced to $9.

Styles are mostly super fabulous, shirts are good quality, and so long as you remember the customs limit they're a nice bargain for Christmas gifts.

www.threadless.com

Edit: Customs limit is £18, so one or two tshirts at a time!

    No its around $36 not £'s. It needs to work out under £18 to not have to pay customers charges.

    It's £36 if it's a gift.
    This is from the Royal Mail website

    You might have to pay Customs duties for mail coming from abroad. The cost will depend on the type of mail being sent to you and its value - for example, you may be charged VAT if you’re being sent merchandise (business to consumer) worth more than £18 or £36 for gifts (consumer to consumer). There are other limits and charges for tobacco and alcohol. There's also a handling fee of £4.00 per item, which is a contribution towards our costs in carrying out activity on behalf of Her Majesty’s Customs & Excise. However, if there’s no Customs charge then we won't charge you anything at all.

  • Slightly off topic but has anyone used 'split the atom' for t-shirts? I did once but now can't get to their website and wondered if they had closed-anyone know?

    yup watch your limit.

    And the one's reduced to $5! Not many and fewer sizes, but I've ordered 2 x $5, 1 x $9 and 1 x $12 and still was a few $s short of customs max.

    Cheers for this. I had the email from them but didn't notice the cheaper one's until it was pointed out!

    I bought three t-shirts from threadless about a year ago, because they looked OK and were quite cheap.

    They held onto them at the post office depot and wouldn't let me have them until I'd paid about thirteen quid I think. A small portion of that was for the import, about a tenner was the PO "release fee".

    And actually, when I opened the package the t-shirts were rubbish quality. I wish I'd never bothered.

    Sorry to burst your bubble , but the customs limit is £18 including postage costs.Don't know how much postage you paid, but I think you've gone over the limit.
