Carole Thacker's Interknit Shop (eBay)

Here is the link (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Carole-Thackers-Interknit-Shop_Addi-turbo-circular-needles_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQsclZallQQsotimedisplayZ2 QQtZkm).

She is located in the UK and her prices on Addi Turbos are really nice ($7.25 + $2.50 shipping to the US), even after the shipping (assuming she combines shipping). I am in the market for 3 pairs of Turbos and she has the sizes I need. Has anyone purchased from her before? It looks like all her stuff is BIN so I am guessing she gets them at whole sale prices.

I looked up her online store (http://www.interknit.uk.com/acatalog/copy_of_copy_of_Plastic_circulars.html)and it looks like the prices are slightly cheaper (12 cents!) and I'm sure shipping/ordering might be easier from her site.

:lurk

Thanks for the link to her site. The shipping is super cheap too, it's only $1.62 for 3 needles to be shipped to me in NC. But she doesn't have the US6 16" (I need the 40cm she only has the 60cm or bigger). I sent her an email asking about shipping reguarding the eBay needles. Once she responds I am going to ask about her site to see if I can get all three of the needles I need at her shop prices.

I really hope this lady checks out because either way her prices are very nice. :)

i've bought from her she's nice

she also has an online shop: http://www.interknit.uk.com/acatalog/copy_of_copy_of_Plastic_circulars.html

Hmmm. The site no longer works. Well you can access the main page but all links now give an error. Maybe she stopped selling at her site and is now just using eBay? I haven't heard back from her about combined shipping but hopefully she isn't charging $2.50 per needling shipping even if multiples are ordered. Does anyone know what it would cost to ship 3 Addi Turbos from the UK to the states (estimate of course ;))?

I have a pet peeve about people making money off shipping. $1 - $2 isn't a big deal but if it costs $2 to shipping and she is charging $7.50.... But her prices are still better than any I have seen online....

the site is a bit iffy the links work through the pictures but you get error for the words kwim? http://www.interknit.uk.com/acatalog/

[hunnybumm]

Ahhh.. Duh! I was just clicking the words. The pictures do work as links. Unfortunitly I don't see all the sizes I need! Maybe I can just order the two I need and search around for the third. Thanks for the help mommas. ;)

IT's her left Nav that's not working use her top menu. I'm off to find a metric conversion chart for circular length I want 40" darnit!!

[Ruth]

lol - 100cm = 39" and 40cm = 16" :)

You know I think it was a BIG mistake for us to ditch the metric system in the 70's . It really is a good mathematical base for measurement. Unfortunately I can never remember it ;) LOL!
