Hi,
I am relatively new to this forum and I wanted to order some stuff from GSA as that is not available in Riyadh, saudia where i currently live. I am originally from Pakistan.
I want to know if someone has similar experience of intl. delivery.

i want to order edible pens/markers and was wondering if they were suitable for vegetarians. same goes with pearl/lusture/shimmer/disco/petal dust.
What would you suggest? not even sure about their exact difference though have read some explanations.

i cannot afford to buy all colors, so what would u suggest a good starting point, are these dusts are vegetarian? any recommendation on which to buy?

Thanks.

I do know that you must spend at least $100 with them before they will ship internationally, which is why I will never shop there.

Im in South Africa and have ordered from GSA before. The service was excellent and the goods arrived very fast!
Its not difficult to order $100 dollars from them icon_smile.gif

I buy a lot of my things from the UK - GSA sells lots of UK imported things at marked up prices, so it makes no sense for me to get such stuff from them, plus the customs charges imposed here on $100+ worth of goods is ridiculous! My favourite UK site is Design-a-Cake and they have excellent flat-rate shipping charges and no minimum order.

We have dropped our requirement of the $100.00 minimum as of today. We are finding that we can send small parcels using Flat Rate International mail. Alan
