I have a question. If your are sent a gift from the US do you still have to pay custom fees?

Wow! If my calculations are right, that comes to about $25 per yard. Unbelievable!

Why do they have such a mark up on fabric? Or is everything that expensive?

HOLY COW!!!!!! Until I saw you order online, I was going to offer to buy for you!!!!!! I'm wondering, too, why the large markup in price. Shipping shouldn't be that much more to ship large quantities to Switzerland.....is it the cost of rent for the shops there and other expenditures in Switzerland?
