    Now is also the time to get our individual financial ducks in a row. When the time comes to order, we won't be able to wait for anyone beyond the time from final quote to sending the order (about a week). I'd hate for people to get left out


    This is primarily due to the fluctuating exchange rates, with this amount of yardage even a few tenths of a pound shift will cause a shortfall that I don't personally want to fill.

    As of right now the costs are as follows:

    ~21GBP for the yardage itself (currently ~$34.68)

    if you are in the US we have:
    +3% (+$.30) for paypal fees
    +3% to cover the international currency fee from my CC (this may go away if Dalgliesh will accept paypal)

    for a rough total of $37.05/yd

    For non-US orderers:
    +4% (+$.40) for paypal fees
    +3% to cover the international currency fee from my CC (this may go away if Dalgliesh will accept paypal)

    for a rough total of $37.55/yd

    I'll end up doing the final math and posting a US/non US total per/yd once we have the final quote and based on the week's exchange rates. But these should give everyone a good idea of what the final yardage costs should be - barring wild currency swings.

    If the currency exchanges are very volatile we may have to either have a smaller ordering window or add a few cents per yard to cover market swings.

    Thank you EKS for bringing this topic back up.

    The international postage will end up being the responsibility of each individual on the order. They will contact Dalgliesh to arrange delivery via best channel for their amount of yardage and locale.

    When I spoke to the factory, they said 4yds double width would fit in the Royal Mail Small Packet catagory. I don't think I've ever paid more than $20US for any RMSP package (including some that were insured against loss/breakage for a fair amount).

    But yes, each individual should allot a certain amount of funds for their shipping.
