Hi

I know these are old posts, but if you are still interested in buying fabrics I am selling off a lot of my stash.

I have some nice retro 60's/70's stuff too.

Regards
Martina

Hi Martina could you pm me with more details please. Thanks.

A reminder of the forum charter, this forum is not for sales. Visit adverts.ie the sister site.. Open a post, put link here. No more sales talk please

Just looked on fabric.com, its AMAZING lotds of really lovely things. I make all sorts of things but only just started on my own clothes and buying fabric is soooooo expensive, much cheaper to but the garment.

For patchwork I go to Limerick Quilt centre , you can find them on facebook and for household I have been buying from IKEA, you just cant beat the price but they dont change the designs often enough for me.

For linen do visit Hanlys in Nenagh, on the website they concentrate on the tweed and woollens but in the shop they sell end of lines at about €12 a metre.

Im off now to fabric.com and going to try some laminated cottons for picnic table mats.

Hi I havent bought from them before, I habe use pink chalk fabriucs and another site (will look it up) neither got stopped by customs, shipping is added but still works out. It I can find prices I will.

Hi all I have just sent my first order to fabric.com. It was about $60 plus postage. I asked my brother about VAT and duty as he works in freight and he sent me the following info

I have since found out that fabric.com sent buy post rather than courier. Personal address parcels are less likely to be stopped than business address parcels.
Anyway I will let you know when mine arrives.




Do you know if it is coming my postal post (with or without ems/tracking number) or courier post?
If by postal post (with/without tracking number) it is a random check I think depending on how busy they are and value of goods and what the goods are.

_________ mum sent a 3 part parce (from Japan)l, 1 was stopped and 2 got through. We paid vat and duty on 1 stopped.
For something that is only 53 usd they may not bother (I brought in tshirts at 80 usd, no problem)

We clear some postal shipments for customers and on the parcelpost paperwork it says pretty much what below link shows

If you buy online or by mail order etc.
From outside the EU
You can buy goods from outside the EU up to a value of €22 without incurring any VAT charges. Goods up to a value of €150 may be imported without payment of Customs Duty. To avoid these packages being stopped by Customs, the value should be clearly marked on the label. However, VAT and import duty is charged on importations of tobacco, tobacco products, alcoholic product and perfumes even if they cost less than €22. The Revenue Commissioners provide a guide to the reliefs available for imports from non-EC countries.
If your online purchase costs more than €22 you will have to pay VAT. If your online purchase costs more than €150 you will have to pay VAT and Customs Duty. This will be collected by the company that delivers your parcel. The company usually have an administration charge. Methods of delivery and collection differ from company to company, so you should contact them directly for more information.
