Kerry wrote about a yo yo maker in her blog a few weeks ago. I thought she was absolutely right, yo yo s are the perfect portable project.
As I had an Amazon gift certificate to spend I went to that site first. The 1-1.25" size is $7. 50.....but they will not ship to Canada,
So I clicked on Amazon.ca.......the same item, a whopping $51...........what a rip off.
I ordered from a shop on etsy ( $5.50 ) and was very satisfied.
or you could go to Michael's with your 40 per cent off coupon....
ReplyDeletedon't think we have a Michaels near here and I loath shopping. Just thought it might be a good way to start on my gift certificate
DeleteWhoa! Surely that was a typo. No way would you ever pay $51 but then again I have seen some very weird pricing on amazon for some books too. Often there are a lot of things that won't be shipped here to Australia because of our consumer protection laws.
ReplyDeleteweird pricing in Canad too....same reason i suspect.
DeleteIt's so annoying that so many people won't ship to Canada - I guess the postage costs to ship here are just too much. Odd, too, that there would be so much difference in pricing.
ReplyDeletei believe they just charge what they think they can get away with.
DeleteI am SO glad you persisted, though, and found a way to try this out! I hope you end up enjoying making the little yoyos, after everything you went through for them!
ReplyDeletewow that's some price hike!! I hope you're feeling better...
