EQUIPMENT
PLEASE NOTE – SCHACHT PRICES WILL RISE ON 26TH MARCH 2018 !!!!! ASHFORD PRICES WERE ADJUSTED AT 1 JANUARY 2018.
Please note that imports are already being affected by the political scene in USA. Accordingly, please check prices before considering your purchases. Known new prices are listed where possible.
How do Imports work? Recently I was asked to quote on the importing of 5 Ladybug Spinning Wheels – 2 from one enquirer and 3 from another. They didn’t place any orders as I think they were disappointed with my quotes.
Government Import Charges/Customs Charges/ and GST currently only apply when the imported product is over $1,000.00. So, by packaging 2 or 3 wheels, the price goes over the limit and there is nothing I can do about it. There are some advantages with International freight charges, but not to the same extent. Currently, it doesn’t pay to group items when importing. The Government is currently looking at putting the charges on every imported product, regardless of price – keep a lookout for future changes. Also, Schacht charge an additional cost when delivering direct to your postal address. It is convenient, but ……………… These charges do not apply to Ashford products.
Spinners Haven carries a wide range of Ashford, Schacht, Strauch and Inwood-Smith spinning, weaving and carding equipment, along with Ashford and Kraftkolour Dyes.
Spinners Haven offers 5% discount on Ashford Equipment (Wheels, Looms) for holders of a current Seniors Card. Does not include items already discounted.
There are new price lists effective 1 January 2018 for Ashford and March 26th 2018 for Schacht – please check prices – however, some stock is still available at the last price list (see the “Specials” page).
PLEASE NOTE: SCHACHT, and STRAUCH PRODUCTS ARE SUBJECT TO INTERNATIONAL FREIGHT CHARGES, AUSTRALIAN CUSTOMS CHARGES, IMPORT DUTIES AND GST (where applicable) AND THE FLUCTUATIONS OF THE AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR. PLEASE ASK FOR AN APPROXIMATE PRICE AT THE TIME OF YOUR ENQUIRY.
