I buy my rotary blades in bulk from eBay -- much cheaper. You could check eBay for sellers who ship internationally. That would probably be the easiest way to do it for the least amount of money. You may want to purchase insurance for the package, if insurance is available.
I have had no problems having blades shipped to me in the U.S. from eBay purchases. If there is a problem with shipping, it would probably be with customs at the other end or with theft at the other end. |
Would she not be best ordering from an EU country? Lots of suppliers in UK, and also a good online supplier in Switzerland who ships to all European destinations. I can give names if necessary.

Last year at a quilt show in Lancaster, PA, I saw a tool that sharpens rotary cutter blades. Have not seen it in any quilt shops locally. Maybe do a www.google.com on this.

I just got five blades (sealed and in a plastic holder) from JoAnn's shipped through the mail. I also used to work at the Post office, they have international mail guidelines, some items are definitely not shippable to certain countries. I doubt that rotary blades are considered weapons. You could ship several items at once as "quilting supplies". Of course, it is up to customs as to if they open the package for search and/or seizure. But do check at your post office for a list of items that are unshippable.

Before you try to ship replacement rotary blades, have your friend check out the art supply shops in Poland. Here in Lebanon we have no quilt shops (not a one); therefore I can not get any cutting boards, templates, special fabrics or any other quilting tool. But I can find replacement blades for my rotary cutter at the local art supply shop. (I bought my rotary cutter there as well.) I can buy 10 blades in a package for less than 1 blade costs in the US.

I'm sure you could ship them

They seem to be suspicious of everything.

Poland is not very far away for here. They can go to Germany and buy the supplies there. Or they can order it online in Germany or in the UK wich also belongs to Europe. And for cheap blades they can go to the toolstore. I'm sorry but I don't see why we should help.
