    Whittles not shipping to Canada?

    Does anyone have any idea why Whittles Fabrics is no longer shipping to Canada? I've ordered lots from them before, but now I tried to buy some fabric and it wouldn't let me ship it to Canada, and their "policies" page says the only international country they ship to now is Australia??

    Well, that is a shame. I can't imagine why a company would stop shipping to Canada! I hope you find another fabric place you like.

    Have you sent them an email inquiring why they are not shipping to Canada? I know my favorite online store Fabric Shack does ship to Canada.

    Yes we are a commonwealth country, but the European rules don't apply to us at all. NAFTA rules do though. I would think they'd research that sort of thing before they cut us off, as I'm sure Canadians buy a lot from them. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted, but I guess I'll have to take my money elsewhere as it seems they don't need it.

    That's good information for some as lots of companies won't ship to Australia.
