Shipping and Charges to expect

[Jdot84]

I've seen horror stories on other forums about extremly high duties and and handling fees on orders of kilts from the UK. Personaly i'd buy from a reputable shop or maker here in the US.

My opinion only.

You are still paying duty because the seller wraps it into the cost of the kilt. I think that even stateside kiltmakers, who pay kiltmakers' price for the cloth are paying because it's wrapped into the price of the cloth per yard. But there are no "Gotcha" hidden costs.

I appreciate so many knowledgeable people taking time to reply to my query. I definitely get the idea that I should be prepared for some stiff costs if I go the import route. After reading your suggestions, I am going to look more at stateside options.

Thanks again!

You should get quotes from some of the kiltmakers here on the forum. They are all erasonable and, as you might expect, well-vetted.

I ordered my tank through J. Higgins, Ltd. just to avoid all the overseas shipping grief. Very pleased with price, quality, etc.
