    Currency surcharge

    have put an order in with a UK supplier for some transfers from the states, they said that there would be a currency surcharge which is calculated on the day they place the order, i was expecting 5-8% maybe - well they have placed the order and the surcharge is 13.6% !!

    I guess that will also now attract more VAT on top.

    Might be the last time I order this way, as it is far too unpredictable way of placing orders.

    I am guessing the US supplier doesn't sell on Amazon.com? If not perhaps you can email them directly and ask if they could and get Amazon to delivery :-)

    Can't you get direct from someone in the UK or is it copyrighted transfers.

    I buy internationally regularly. Always look if the seller has the option to take paypal. I have a multi-currency paypal account which I always keep a few dollars in and buy when rates are good. Greatly reduces surcharges.

    If the transfer supplier takes paypal that is a good option, their currency transfer rates are not too bad.

    Arfur they are copyrighted transfers. Custom print, I do that already with other items I buy from the states but this used to be a better way of getting transfers, I am wondering if their price list is actually out of date so the "currency surcharge" is actually part price increase as well.
