Over in US your choice is so much wider. I tend to do Internet shopping from the other side of the pond. The problem is the postage and customs. I have had parcels refused at airports and had to pay very large extra tax as well. Parcels ripped and no idea when they will arrive and consequently borrowed from neighbours to pay when arrived. The one area at present not happy with is eBay. Some of the US companies are selling featherweight on UK EBAY shipping cost doubles item eg £50 upwards. Why not a depot in this country which holds these items.

I love new gadgets and follow you here and other shops in US TO BUY
FABRIC. I love specific designs .
Somebody mentioned magazines. I have no problem as we have excellent shops locally which. Stock American. Australia New Zealand , Ireland as well asUK. THEY will also order for you. I also purchase from the Internet copies o patchwork quilting mags from over the world.
This is getting too long and wordy. I also have friends who visit US and post items to me. One friend has a brother over there who will shop for us on gadgets.
Bye for now
