Was delighted to see that Joanns and their great prices are now shipping to the UK. Sadly the excellent prices available in the UK don't seem to be replicated in the exchange rate (increase in prices?) for those in the UK, with a standard posting fee of £12.99 not sure they are going to get many takers!

I baulk at paying £2.50 postage so I won't even be looking at the website.....that way no temptation is possible.Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

If orders are under £135 then the website should be including the importation costs which may explain the "poor exchange rate" as sales tax wouldn't be included in the US listing whereas the UK would include 20% VAT at a minimumBrie said:And don't forget there will be import duties and whatever fee the posting company cares to impose for processing that.0
