    On second thought this might just be too much like the "Kick Me" signs in Middle School

    Turpin: I send all our sporrans marked as gifts on the package. No Company logo on the parcel so it should go under the radar .But it's a good question to ask .

    In Norway I can except gifts og up to 1000Kr = $160 however I'm not allowed to import anything of a value of 200Kr = $32

    Have you similar rules in the US ?

    Dave,

    Good for you! I love my Freelander. I'm going to post some pictuires tomorrow (hopefully) of the same outfit with my Two tone Freelander to show how brown and black leather can work wonderfully together. You will be very happy with David and Sten's work.

    Cheers

    Customs supposedly exempts items for personal use less than $200 in value. But if the nature of the item triggers "formal entry" such as woolens greater than $5 in value, then the Fedex Customs Broker automatically charges a $25 minimum fee. This is independent of the $200 exemption. Theoretically, a $10 pair of sock could cost you $35 total if shipped via Fedex. I've seen others post different experiences, this is just my recent experience with Fedex shipping.

    I only use normal postage service . I find this makes postage a little more affordable

    Well, I guess there are some advantages living in Norway:

    I ordered a black Freelander sporran yesterday, and it was in my postbox this morning!!

    In my eagerness to wear it out tonight, I must remember to put my kilt on too...


    Thanks for excellent product and service, David.

    Freelander!

    My "cait sith" (black cat)* Freelander sporran is, without a doubt, the best sporran I have ever owned. You can't go wrong with a Freelander!

    Just don't get near the end zone if the game could be decided by a field goal!
