The U.S. dollar exchange rate is so bad vs the Euro; I used to order Vestments from Rome, the prices were very reasonable compared to church supply stores here (100% mark-up). Now, the prices have doubled (at least!) and are way out of reach.
Dollar vs Pound is no better. So I would assume many folk would be having second thoughts about importing things from Europe at this time. Which is a real pity for both sides. My buddies in Australia are heading to the U.S as goods here are half price compared to the Aust. $ right now.

Really? I guess the shipping charges didn't cancel out the savings? How would you do that, online?
