When I decided to pull out my dye supplies last week, I realised I was pretty low on just about everything. I hopped onto the website of the two local (Australian) suppliers I use for procion dyes and was horrified to find that the 250g tubs I wanted were $69 each!!! So I checked a couple of American sites and found that I could get what I wanted from Dharma trading for, on average, $15 a tub (each colour is priced differently - I bought 8 and they varied from $6.59 to $19.89).
Given that the Aussie dollar is heading towards parity, it only added a very small amount to convert from US to AU$ - and even with $55 postage, I still saved over $350 ordering from overseas! That is unbelievable. And to cap it off, I ordered on the website on Friday, and it was delivered to my door on the following Wednesday! It takes longer for stuff to come from Canberra, three hours drive away!
Now only Hancocks of Paducah would hurry up and have one of their 'free shipping' events while the dollar is still around 96 cents, I would be in seventh heaven!!
