    If i pay using a credit card, will i be charged additional fee's?

    hi, I have never been charged any extra fees but if item is quite expensive you will prob be charged duty tax.

    the dearest item I have brought was $18 which was about £11 and wasn't charged tax I'm not sure what the amount will be when they start charging. HTH

    that's a nice cute bag, I love the print which is on first row last on right the pink one

    Can't believe I didn't reply to you - I know I started to (ages ago) I remember looking at the link, but can't see any reply on the thread so I guess I must have got distracted and forgot! :o Sorry :o

    On my screen the last one on the right is purple - maybe it's displayed differently. Do you mean the one that's numbered 6 (if you hover over the little box)? If so, I agree that's a pretty print. :)

    Ah yes the pinky/purple one is lovely! :)

    I like the shape of that one in your link - looks a nice boxy spacious one with lots of pockets - and they have it in the grey letters print that I like :T (they also have it in your purple swirl pattern) :D

    I am always charged a currency conversion fee if I pay In dollars, it shows as a separate charge on my credit card statement. However, I have now worked out how to pay in sterling, so I convert the price shown to sterling and pay direct and avoid the currency charge.

    What sort of exchange rate do you get by choosing GBP? Is it better than factoring in the charge from your card company?

    I have a Post Office credit card that I only use abroad or for non GBP transactions and don't get charged any fee and also get pretty much the Inter Bank rate. Think Halifax Clarity card may be same?

    Has anyone bought kids clothes from here? It states that they are in US sizes but I can't see a size guide. My 7 year old DD is in 9-10 sizes across here so does anyone have any idea what would she be on this site?
