How do I calculate currency conversation rates for overseas sales and pricing?

Use the Paypal currency exchange rate table to determine the price of SpinOlution Wheels and Accessories in your currency.  Here are directions to calculate currency exchange rates on Paypal. Please note that currency exchange rates can change at any time, so if you are getting an estimated cost in advance - that cost may vary if you place your order days, or even hours later. 

Who is responsible for paying import fees and taxes on overseas orders?

Customers are responsible for paying any import fees & taxes that their country may add to their purchase upon arrival. SpinOlution will not ship wheels as "gifts" or "samples" - as this removes our ability to insure the packages against damage. Every wheel is insured, so if it arrives damaged or destroyed, it can be replaced at no cost to the customer. 

International Dealers can add all fees (shipping costs, taxes, import fees, customs) to their price of SpinOlution wheels so customers know the full price before purchase.

What is this strange little peg that is included in my Studio package?

If you have ordered a package deal or a skein winder, you'll receive a little wooden peg. This peg goes into the first hole of one of the arms of the skein winder to secure the end of your yarn into the hole so it doesn't fall off the skein winder when you begin to wind. It also helps you remember where the beginning of your yarn is. Simply place your yarn tail into the hole, secure with the peg, and begin winding off the bobbin and onto the skein winder using either the 1-yard or 2-yard arms.
