European Bead Sites

[honeyb]

I am wondering if anyone can recommend any good european bead sites?

I am looking for something a little bit different, but won't know it until I see it, so wanting to have a good look around for inspiration.

Of course I have many favourite bead sites based here in the UK, but just want to look.

A friend saw a shop in Leiden, NL so I did a quick search and here is one:

Do a search for 'bead shop <country>' and you are bound to find some. Putting in France came up with a number:

or....http://www.find-beads.com/bead-store...e-bead-stores/

Does anyone know if we have to add VAT on purchases made in Europe?? I have a £600 order awaiting which I need to pay 5% shipping so the thought of having to add customs charges is putting me off placing it IYKWIM

Any advice would be great thanx

Generally VAT is included in the price. However, I would recommend speaking with whomever is sending your items to be certain - Good luck!!!

Hi - I'm based in France but my website is in £'s and I spe******e more in sterling silver charms & findings and semi-precious beads in pairs and 10's (for earrings and projects so you don't have to buy a whole string).

If you buy wholesale you will get the country's VAT added on to your total. At the moment the rates are
BELGIUM 21%
GERMANY 19%
FRANCE 19.6%
RUSSIA 18%
THE NETHERLANDS 19%

this could change overnight though!

Try sayila dot nl (not enough posts for me to put URL )

Lots to look at on the site and I thought the service very good. I was worried about ordering beads from abroad but everything was fine.

Good luck!
