I also would like to say that as cost is a big factor I have to look around for best prices. I do buy from the uk a lot of the time and from ukbeaders shops where possible, and i also buy lampwork from uk artists, but as most of what i sell is at the lower end of the market I really have to look around. I have been on the group FMG orders that Pollie has so kindly sorted out for us and because I have managed to buy at cheaper prices it has meant that I have been able to introduce gemstones into my jewellery, and I will be there to order again from them if Pollie is well enough to do it. It would be nice to be able to order entirely from the uk but at the moment that wouldnt work for me.
