Kiltmaker's Input Requested, & Who Wants Cthulu Tartan Yardage?

[artificer]

I just tried to navigate the customs.org website but finally surrendered. Looks like textiles have a $250 limit before they become "reportable" so this shipment would certainly exceed that amount unless we all do our own deliveries. But since this is for non-commercial use we may be able to sneak out that way. I'd imagine the manufacturer would be able to assist as they must ship to US businesses. It might be easier to arrange for a US kiltmaker to receive and make the kilts, then they can deal with the importation paperwork.

But ultimately even a 60-70 yard shipment is SMALL potatoes in the world of textiles, they are used to dealing in kilometers of fabric, so I gotta think this is no big deal in the grand scheme of things.

Unfortunately, 'breaking' and reposting shipments is time consuming, and I imagine most people who aren't directly interested wouldn't want the hassle of doing it (and would most likely charge for their time and labour). IF someone was interested in making 20-30 kilts (assuming that's whom everyone wanted to make their kilts) they might consider it, but I'm fairly sure everyone has a kilt maker already in mind already.

As to the customs and the order being small potatoes, I'd much rather cover our bases and go in assuming we're going to get hit, so nobody is shocked when the fees are assessed.

Don't forget Im after 4 yards or so and willing to help if I can being in the uk.

I corrected the totals, as for assistance - thank you, I may PM you and have you give Dalgliesh a call if we don't hear back by Thurs.

You would get dinged on the VAT, if we had you take delivery and break it up into individual shipments.

Too true, and I don't think we want THAT, plus, since most of the interested parties are in the US, the individual postage costs would add up quite quickly vs US 'breaking and reposting'.
