This is independent of the $200 exemption. Theoretically, a $10 pair of sock could cost you $35 total if shipped via Fedex. I've seen others post different experiences, this is just my recent experience with Fedex shipping.
    I only use normal postage service . I find this makes postage a little more affordable

    Well, I guess there are some advantages living in Norway:

    I ordered a black Freelander sporran yesterday, and it was in my postbox this morning!!

    In my eagerness to wear it out tonight, I must remember to put my kilt on too...


    Thanks for excellent product and service, David.

    Freelander!

    My "cait sith" (black cat)* Freelander sporran is, without a doubt, the best sporran I have ever owned. You can't go wrong with a Freelander!

    I got my sporran last night. At first glance, although it's a very nice sporran, I kind of wondered what all the fuss was about. It didn't look any bigger than other sporrans I have. However, I figured it out. Although the body of the sporran looks the same size as others, the flexible leather and the cinch opening allow it to open up much more than other sporrans, even flexible ones like Buzz Kidders.

    This sporran should get a fair amount of use. I may even get another one someday in another color.

    Thanks David and Sten.

    They do look great, I can't wait to wear mine!!! It currently houses two kilt pins, flashes, a sgian dubh and some Freelander cards. 4 weeks down, only 8 or so to go for my kilt!

    I'm terrible about getting pictures of myself as I'm usually the one with the camera... but I received my fantastic Freelander Sporran not long ago (a couple weeks or so) and I am nothing but pleased with David's work and his customer service!

    I was surprised initially at how small it looked, but that size is misleading when you realize just how much stuff you can fit into it COMFORTABLY! And of course I don't have to tell you how nice it looks as you can tell from all the pictures of people with these great sporrans!

    Also, David had initially told me it'd be about a 4 weeks to get it... then I got a huge surprise when he emailed to say that he and Sten had gotten it done early (about three weeks early!) and that it was going into the mail. I had it less than two weeks after I ordered it!

    I PROMISE I'll get some pics up after this weekend... we're going to be going to the Ohio RenFest and I'll be kilted, so we'll get some shots in.
