It converts automatically, but if you'll remind me I can send a money request in AUD to make it easier for you ^^

do you know how much shipping would be to australia? and how about to england?
im going to england over christmasΒ and i might be able to order one from there, since shipping wouldntΒ be as much or take as long, im guessing. ive figured you're from europe somewhere, since you said the price in euros. also how long do you think it would take from ordering to arriving?
sorry for all the questions (and for the late reply!)

It's okay, I'd ask too if I were comissioning someone ^^
I'm from Slovenia, a tiny country in the EU. From what I see on our Post offices' website the price for shipping to other EU countries and worldwide aren't different. The prices are calculated based on the weight of the thing one is sending (+50c / 0.65AUD for the envelope).
Anyways last month I sent two letters, one needlefelt to Germany and one embroidery to US. The letter to USA was 4β¬ / 6AUD because it was was sent as a registered mail, meaning they checked it when shipping and when arriving. If a mail like this gets lost the reciever might get a refund, but I don't know how since it hasn't happened to me. The letter to Germany was a 'normal one' and it was 1.80β¬ / 2.7AUD. They both needed two weeks to arrive because that depends when the planes (ships?) for a specific country that's not on our continent leave.
So you'd need to pick one option from those (a cheap letter or a more safe one) but I think shipping to England or Australia wouldn't make much a difference.

Okay, I might have to see what I can do.Β
And honestly, it'd probably be quicker shipping to England just because the post around here is terribly slow, haha.
What do you think are the odds of the cheaper one backfiring and not arriving?

Sorry I'm a bit late...
It might be faster shipping around England itself, but for how long will you be there (and when)? Do you have a person (or a hotel staff) in England that could ship the letter to your Australian adress if it misses you? If you pay for the more expensive one it will hopefully ship back to me if nobody picks it up there. I think the odds of a mail getting lost are really small though

w-h-i-s-p-a In reply to nkyvi [2017-11-10 09:20:10 +0000 UTC]
No worries,
Yeah I have family there and will be staying at a house address, so that's no problem. It's for all of December and the first week in January.
I may end up just orderingΒ it for here, to avoid hassle.Β
Btw, is the only paying method PayPal?

nkyvi In reply to w-h-i-s-p-a [2017-11-10 09:31:37 +0000 UTC]
Great!
Well I could make a commission widget on DA for you (since that is the only way to transfer points to money) but then DA would take 20% from us.
With PayPal you only need a credit or prepaid card to pay though. Or you could ask someone that already has an account to pay for you and give them money (I have a neighbor that I used to ask all the time)

w-h-i-s-p-a In reply to nkyvi [2017-11-11 03:00:06 +0000 UTC]
Oh that could work? How much would that be though?
Yeah, I'm not old enough to have my own credit card, that's the thing, and my mum isn't too chuffed about me using hers. I might be able to, though.

nkyvi In reply to w-h-i-s-p-a [2017-11-11 18:55:44 +0000 UTC]
Of course the final price would depend on what kind of needle-felt you want. For a fox like this I'd ask for roughly 1700 points if I'm correct in calculations (about 12β¬ (the fox was about 7cm big) + cheap shipping + 20%). But you'd be overpaying it because DA needs to get some money (the 20%) when you use a commission widget. And if you only donated the points to me it would be pretty much useless since I can't convert them to money that way
I understand your mom, mine is the same but I have my own card now (obviously)

w-h-i-s-p-a In reply to nkyvi [2017-11-12 04:54:57 +0000 UTC]
Ah, so I guess it's much easier to do it with paypal.
I will ask her again, as I would really like one, since they're so cute!

nkyvi In reply to w-h-i-s-p-a [2017-11-12 19:30:08 +0000 UTC]
It is. I have my fingers crossed for you! I'll work extra hard to make it even cuter if she says yes

w-h-i-s-p-a In reply to nkyvi [2017-12-01 06:07:17 +0000 UTC]
Sorry for such a late reply, I just had to get around to asking!
She said yes, but was a bit reluctant about setting up a PayPal, but sort of thought it might be a good idea anyway.
We'll have to open one up but we may not order until Christmas time, if that's alright?Β

nkyvi In reply to w-h-i-s-p-a [2017-12-01 15:40:45 +0000 UTC]
Ahh it's okay, I know how it is with parents ^^
It is alright, but I'm wondering how will it be with shipping then because let's say you and your mom pay me in late December, meaning I ship the comission to you in late December. There is no way it would get to England in time, so I guess I'll have to ship to your Australian address?
Anyways, I better get to work now so I'll just have to ship the pluhsie when I make it. So you have to tell me exactly what do you want? A fox exactly like this one? Do I change anything in the design? Or do you want anything custom made?

w-h-i-s-p-a In reply to nkyvi [2017-12-03 06:29:35 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, she reckoned it'd be better to ship here, in time for my birthday (late Jan).
Okay, that's a good idea!
Honestly, this one is perfect, I can't think of anything you'd need to change.Β
Also how much would that be, including shipping?
Thanks x

nkyvi In reply to w-h-i-s-p-a [2017-12-04 10:25:04 +0000 UTC]
Ah that's smart thinking!
Okay so with the cheap shipping it would be 22AUD and with the expensive one 25AUD.
I just went over our entire conversation and saw that I forgot to mention that the plushie is only about 7cm tall, I hope it's the size you imagined it to be. And it's made out of wool. If you'd want a bigger one it would increase the shipping cost
For the payment: When your mom makes the PayPal account send me a note with the e-mail address she used in PayPal, and I will send her a payment request

w-h-i-s-p-a In reply to nkyvi [2017-12-07 16:00:50 +0000 UTC]
Okay, thanks so much.
Yeah that's about the size I imagined it, so that's no worries.
Yup, will do! Thanks again x

Thank you ^^
And I'm almost finished with the fox (it needs the eyes!). I did take some more time to do it since you weren't done with setting up the PayPal. Family comes first of course. So how's it going?

w-h-i-s-p-a In reply to nkyvi [2018-01-10 03:36:00 +0000 UTC]
Omg that is so adorable!Β
I'm back in Australia now, and I've reminded my mum so will hopefully get it set up in a day or two. I'll make sure it happens, dw.
Thanks again x

Yup, she said as soon as she's done the PayPal she'll order it, she's just gotta find some time (hopefully today aha).
We were gonna go with the more expensive one I believe. $25 in total you said?Β

nkyvi In reply to w-h-i-s-p-a [2018-01-11 19:50:02 +0000 UTC]
That's cool, but I'll probably be shipping it on Monday cause PayPal takes some time to process the payment and the Post offices here are closed on the weekends.
Yes, 25 AUD

Okay, so slight change of plan, but doesn't really matter, I was talking about it at dinner and my dad suddenly piped up that he has PayPal, so we checked and it's still active, so there's that problem sorted.
So do you need the email address that goes with it or...?

ProbablyAPotato LuckyFanGirl I'll take that as a compliment, didn't think I'd actually get replies ^^
If you're seriously serious note me details about what you'd want. A fox like this would be 12$ (it's 6cm tall) but I can of course make custom small plushies too, as long as they aren't too complicated. I also have a giveaway you can participate in Lavander swirls (giveaway)
Hovewer I would have to register a small business before actually getting payment and sending crafts around (this is because of my country's tax laws), it isn't a problem, but it takes a few days.

I'll definitely think about it! I have about $5 on me right now, but when I get more than 10 I'll note you

nkyvi In reply to ProbablyAPotato [2017-09-29 07:27:16 +0000 UTC]
Thanks ^^
But Oh I forgot to state the shipping costs above, international postage should be about 3-4$ I think... Anyways If you choose a not complicated and a bit smaller plushie I can make that cheaper, like 8$ + postage
