I just purchased from apexemb.designs.com and couldn`t get it to go to my memory stick so I understand it expires but can go to the website and get it.
How long does it stay in your acc on their web site?
Will get my sisinlaw to help me.
Also do they all charge shipping and handling when they email it to you????
Thanks Gale

did i understand you correctly?

they actually had the nerve to charge shipping and handling for an email delivery?

i'd scratch that vendor off my list. :hunf:

Something doesn't sound right. I've never heard of anyone charging shipping & handling for an email delivery!!!

I get my patterns from embroidery library and they do not charge shipping and handling.

I did it once from something called e-patterns, I think
No s/h, no tax (I live in NH)

I wouldn't use any e-pattern vendor that charged s/h - avoiding it is the whole point of downloading a pattern.

I would not deal with them anymore either... that is ludicrous!!!

I get embroidery patterns from several companies over the computer but I have NEVER been charged s&h. sounds like a scammer to me!

You could always call them and see if it was a mistake.

I think you should download to your computer first, before you try putting it on a stick. --Linda--

The shipping and handling was only .50 was it because it went through pay pal.
I realy wanted the pattern was only 1.99

That seems reasonable to me, as Paypal charges about .60 for transactions.

Hope you can get the pattern :thumbup: I would question the handling fee, that should be built into the cost of the merchandise :roll:

I use Oregon Patchworks and they don't charge a fee to email designs. They email it to you and click on the link and you can download them as many times as you wish.

I try to find patterns I can download right from the website. It's much cheaper. Pam Bono is one site I buy and download and any place that has e patterns, I go to first. No charge for downloading. I would not pay any fee for buying a pattern to be emailed or downloaded. How do you get a pay pal charge? I never get a fee charged from buying anything through pay pal?

The seller pays the fees. Most people just build it into the cost, but it's probably more fair the way she paid, as she only paid the fee once, instead of it being charged per item.

For example, if I am the seller and I sold, say 100 items last month, and I paid $100 in fees (these numbers are TOTALLY made up!), then I need to add $1.00 per item to the prices to cover costs. However, I could also say, oh, I paid $100 for 80 transactions (some people order more than 1 item), and choose to charge $1.20 per transaction instead of a per item fee. Buyers who order less end up paying a tad more, but buyers who buy in large quantities benefit.

You as a buyer might prefer to have these costs wrapped in, but you still end up paying it in the end. I always total up the shipping/handling and consider it in my final decision.
