Kingsley North< 4 stars

Congrats, although I am much less pleased with Kingsley than you. I guess they are great if you are ordering from the U.S., but they now suck for non-US orders....they no longer take credit cards for international orders (huh?...VISA, Mastercard, etc, are pretty international....), Kingsley now only accepts some kind of wire bank to bank transfer for non-US orders, plus they hit these orders up with an automatic processing fee of US $25.

They have some good stuff that might be worth ordering if you live in the US, but they seem to actively discourage orders from other countries.

Sorry for the rant, glad that you are happy with your order, but it seems only fair to warn non-Americans that their experience is likely to be very different than yours.

Hi Rollingstone,
I'm in retail management, so I have some understanding of why this is a problem. I'm not backing them, in fact, I'm dissing the credit card companies. Businesses that use credit cards are obligated to pay a certain % of sales to the company. It can range from 2% to 18% (debit cards in most cases). Over seas sales are considered "riscky" so the % increases, as much as 28%. They can't afford to loose that much, so they don't accept cc sales. It's nothing personal, it's just too dang exspensive. Maybe some one in the states could place an order for you, calculate the shipping and see if it's worth it (?).
I love Kingsley North. That's my main supplier of findings, replacement bowls and such.
Good luck!
