    Good info here, thank you. Right, no duties - agreed.

    I've fallen into the habit of calling all the extraneous charges that accumulate as a package crosses the border (taxes and brokerage) "duty". Bad habit.

    I'm totally ok with paying either taxes or brokerage, or both, just nice to know up front, you know? My first order from an American vender was for $8 worth of stuff, and there was a $40 brokerage. Which my parents paid, and I was stuck with. I would have refused the shipment, if I had been home.

    To be clear, that was nearly 20 years ago, and I was 19 at the time. Not a HF vendor.

    I don't have a problem with 'We only ship on Fridays' sort of setups for cottage vendors. I don't understand the 'we can't be bothered to cut and ship your fabric unless we sell the whole roll' concept. It could be months/years!

    (And does fabric all come in 100yd rolls these days?)

    Some marketing 'gimmicks' don't work for me, I guess.

    Thanks for your questions VictoriaGuy. If something is confusing certainly don't hesitate to ask. I learned a long time ago that everyone interprets things a little differently . Hiknhanger basically summed it up, but the idea behind bulk fulfillment is that it's much more efficient time wise. We don't spend as much time processing orders and so we pass that savings on to you with lower prices per yd. All the products listed will be rolls of a certain size. To your point, not all rolls will be the same size. I just chose 100 yds this particular time for everything. Future listings may be for 200 yds or maybe 50 yds, with the time available and price/yd adjusting accordingly. You won't have to wait forever because the final end date is set for any given roll. You can find this date on each product page. Your order will ship on that date at the latest. If the roll sells out before that date, your order ships out sooner.

    We do ship to Canada, but unfortunately I don't have that functionality built into the site yet. I apologize for the inconvenience, but if you PM me with what you'd like to order along with your shipping address, I'll get a paypal invoice with shipping costs out to you right away. We also use USPS for all shipments to Canada.

    Thanks,
    - Kyle

    Excellent - I think I'm full up for this year, just ordered a dozen tablecloths

    You're definitely on the bookmarks for next season though.

    Website bookmarked!
    You got it. Most close dates will be set to ~1 week after the roll is posted. I'll also do some quick sales of smaller lots (e.g. 50 yds) every now and then that will only last a day or two max. Thanks for the kudos as well!

    Shipping out the first round of orders in the morning. Still a little time left to get in on this round. Order tonight and it ships in the AM.
