I'm going to send a quilt along soon and I think the postage will be rather a whopper, so let me wait and see how that goes. Here's hoping folks who are inspired but not able to send a quilt can chip in a few $$ to help with the customs fees for the quilts others are sending. Thanks for helping the rest of us make a difference, Lynne!Poppyprinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08251892807966340175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513356584940430771.post-53644536950723807522012-04-25T16:50:41.908+01:002012-04-25T16:50:41.908+01:00donation 115963donation 115963Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17460833804648863770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513356584940430771.post-31809898390513454972012-04-25T16:19:20.544+01:002012-04-25T16:19:20.544+01:00Just Done!

I think alot of people write selling prices as values when posting their items which could cause lots of problems as even gifts can only be valued at £40 I think before there is a charge!

It needs to be made clear on the customs ticket exactly what the item is for and who it is for. If it cost $30 to make a quilt but to resell it would cost $100, put $30 and not $100. Value is so subjective. I have successfully appealed all bills sent from customs so good luck.Jay Nellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04076651986764102357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513356584940430771.post-33252475504078084912012-04-25T13:16:12.961+01:002012-04-25T13:16:12.961+01:00I've been wanting to participate, but I was co...I've been wanting to participate, but I was concerned about shipping costs from the US.
