Wadding Orders to Overseas Destinations From April 2013


We have been able to negotiate a better shipping rate for our customers with our courier. This is especially of benefit to European customers who wish to purchase wadding. Because of the fact that wadding was not heavy but occupied a large space then wadding orders were often expensive because of the shipping costs. This is no longer the case and below is an example order to help illustrate this.

If for example a queen size wadding, 2 metres of fabric, a book and a jelly roll were ordered this would incur the following shipping charge.

To Ireland £18.70

To Belgium, Luxembourg or Netherlands £19.60

To France, Germany or Monaco £20

To Austria, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Portugal, Spain or Sweden £21

If 2 further queen size waddings were added to the order, the shipping costs would not increase.
