Those of you who are buying several yards of fabric at a time from the US - don't you ever get stung for customs duty? If the shop has declared the value of the fabric on the customs label, you're going to be over the limit and in danger of having to pay. I think Customs only do spot checks, but one of my parcels was caught. It vanished for 3 months, and I assumed it was lost, then I got a demand for duty to be paid before I could collect it - and it was expensive. Since then I've restricted myself to 3 or 4 yards at a time, but US postage has gone up so much, as people have commented, that it's not always worthwhile. Fortunately I have friends who live in the US for some of the time but are based here, so sometimes I get fabric sent to them and they bring it over.
