Hi All, The current thread about postages charges reminded me that I had intended to send a message to you all about the postal charges for the Lace book from V & A. This is of special interest to those of you at this end of the world! (Oz, NZ)
I ordered the book through the V and A site and had no problems, when I put in the option to have it sent to this part of the world the postage came up as 25 British pounds and like a fool I clicked to send the order! The book itself is 30 pounds and the cost of postage didn't penetrate through to my one brain cell until after I had sent the order off. I was horrified when realised that the postage was nearly as much as the already quite expensive book. There was no option to click on a cheaper method of postage. The book duly arrived a week later and it is very lovely and I am delighted to have a copy, though I would have preferred the balance to be more bobbin lace than needle! In future when ordering things I must remember to get them sent to my daughter in Tadworth and have her send them on to me. If anyone else in New Zealand or Oz is thinking of ordering this over the internet I would suggest that you contact the V and A and see if there is a cheaper way of sending it out here. From NZ we can send Economy Air which is supposed to take 45 days but usually takes much less and is also cheaper. Sue Fink Masterton, New Zealand Apologies for the length of this one! - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
