For the list of countries from which we can accept orders and the postage charges please click here Please note that some items which are heavy or are an awkward shape which requires more packaging can cause the delivery charge to increase. For example, wadding is expensive to ship overseas because of its volume. It may not be cost effective for customers outside the United Kingdom to purchase them. Removing these items should reduce the charge. If your country is not on this list and you are a Cotton Patch Club Member then please choose Cotton Patch ROW as your country location. |
