Fabric price woes

Yes, shipping would have been £10 from that seller.
Though I just ordered 7 yards of a moda fabric line from another American seller and only paid £16 shipping. Which means I'm still £50 ($77) better off on that order than buying the fabric here. Crazy!

Last time I ordered from US the parcel was opened at customs and returned to seller. The only reason I can think was the reason is drugs used in the manufacture of the fabric. I can't think of another reason haven't ordered any since.

Wow I feel lucky that never happened to me! I often have to pay the VAT and Royal Mail handling charge (though some do slip through) but that's the worst that has happened!

Is the price difference due to economies of scale? Or tax differences? I just can't see why an item (often of Chinese origin despite country of company incorporation) is so much higher outside the US. Maybe I should finance my trips abroad with bundles of fabric. : )
