Default What's the best place to order MFT if you're not in the US?

Where do the rest of you non US residents buy your MFT?

I can't stomach the shipping prices (they just increased again) and then duty on top of that - depending on where you are, almost $50 just to get your order to you - no thanks.

I don't understand how their rates can be that much higher than other websites - in some cases more than double, or even triple - smh. I wish they still offered the low USPS rates - even if you had to agree to take your chances if it got lost.

Now that being said I love my MFT- their product is amazing - and would still like to continue to buy it elsewhere so any suggestions would be appreciated - within Canada would be a HUGE bonus but US works too.

Thanks!

I hear you! I placed one order after their shipping options changed, and as well as the higher shipping it cost me half as much again as my original order total in tax and brokerage. Tax is fair enough, but the brokerage was the killer and the next time I won a gift cert I gave it to someone else. I used to love the cheap rate for stamps and dies, but if Kim was having to replace a lot of orders that went missing I can see why she felt she needed to change. I never had any problems, I'm glad to say everything I ordered arrived very promptly.
She doesn't carry the full range, but you can get quite a bit from Frantic Stamper:My Favorite Things Die-Namics Dies, Clear Stamps and Stencils

Haven't ordered from MFT since the postage changed. If there is anything I want I get it from Simon Says Stamp.
