I just recieved 3 sets of Hotz flocked felt fields. They are really good.
I Ordered them on 19th march and they were here yesterday despite Eric telling me it might be 5 weeks.
The sets are $16 each plus $6 postage. If you order 3 sets it drops to $14 a set

I strongly suggest you order them as individual sets to avoid getting charged VAT and the £8 the post office charges to collect the vat. See Example below :-
3 sets @ $14 = $42 plus $12 postage ( 1st set $6 postsge subsequent sets an additional $3) payment to Hotz $54 approx £35
You will then be charged VAT @20% £7 plus £8 to collect the vat . Total cost to you approx £50
OR
3 Individually posted sets @ $14 = $42 plus $18 postage (3 sets at $6 a set) payment to Hotz $60 approx £40 saving you about £10

Good tip Orcs.....Specially about the 'handling charge' the PO charge for collecting the VAT. (I suppose for all the added red tape it involves, £8 would be about par for the course tho'.)
As I put in a post yonks ago now.....I got hit for the £8 charge when the PO were only due to collect just over £1 in 'tax'......OUCH !!
That DID make me say some very naughty words. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Good for you. Mine took over three MONTHS to arrive...
Hotz stuff is excellent. But his service is highly variable, can take weeks, can take months. And his communication is dreadful.

I have to say I found the comminications good, and he did warn me that it might take 5 weeks to arrive.
