I understand your frustration - for me the true frustration is how easy it is to order and return &nbsp;for free&nbsp;in the United States - appreciate this luxury everyone! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pardon-my-rant#post-936067 Sun, 19 May 2013 00:38:27 +0000 krishnidoux 936067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is insane!!!<br /><br />Do you have a Guess By Marciano in K?

Or maybe they would ship it to you from their store?<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pardon-my-rant#post-936052 Sat, 18 May 2013 23:46:47 +0000 Deborah 936052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, commiserations! I get it. I want to order a dress later in the year from Canada and the postage is going to be $40.00. The dress isn't cheap so i am conscientiously saving my Paypal dollars:). It just doesn't seem reasonable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pardon-my-rant#post-936042 Sat, 18 May 2013 23:32:16 +0000 DonnaF 936042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ :(&nbsp; Any seamstresses in your area?&nbsp; Seems like you could have a custom killer shell made for you for less than that.&nbsp; S/H, taxes, and duty look like a killer.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pardon-my-rant#post-936039 Sat, 18 May 2013 23:28:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 936039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Do NOT even get me started!!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pardon-my-rant#post-936036 Sat, 18 May 2013 23:22:18 +0000 lyn* 936036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ugh; sometimes I think it's cheaper to buy an airplane ticket and fly down to pick it up (close!) :p https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pardon-my-rant#post-936024 Sat, 18 May 2013 23:07:24 +0000 Raisin 936024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear ya, Suz!

I'm lamenting the general lack of silk - it seems like decent affordable silk used to be much more prevalent and I barely see it these days. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pardon-my-rant#post-935993 Sat, 18 May 2013 22:15:02 +0000 Caro in Oz 935993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I hear you Suz.&nbsp;Australia is worse believe me - I only bought the SE boots because they were on sale so that paid for the duties. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pardon-my-rant#post-935986 Sat, 18 May 2013 22:02:06 +0000 jurocha 935986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I was looking for silk tops myself today and I found a few at Zalando. This very simple one is my favorite: <a href="http://www.zalando.at/hallhuber-t-shirt-basic-offwhite-h4421d00o-a00.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.zalando.at/hallhube.....o-a00.html</a>.<br /><br />I am afraid they do not ship to Canada, but for those living in Europe... it's a no-fuzz free shipping website.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pardon-my-rant#post-935972 Sat, 18 May 2013 21:23:43 +0000 Adelfa 935972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've often thought this situation would drive me buggy if I were on the wrong end of it. Of course you can't stand it! I often pay shipping because I don't have good B&amp;M options. I tell myself that if I drove 100 miles, I'd have to pay gas and buy a coffee and a snack, so it works out. But what you have to pay is nothing like this. I feel bad for you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pardon-my-rant#post-935956 Sat, 18 May 2013 20:38:33 +0000 Nicole D 935956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ DId you check Melanie Lyne? &nbsp;I got a lined polyester shell there that is perfect. &nbsp;I detest non-free shipping. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pardon-my-rant#post-935950 Sat, 18 May 2013 20:26:11 +0000 Scarlet 935950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just lots of sympathy from me.

It's the same here: every time I have ordered something from the US, the shipping was extravagantly costly and the&nbsp;Irish duties were around 38%. In fact, it's cheaper to buy from China, where the stuff is made anyway. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pardon-my-rant#post-935923 Sat, 18 May 2013 19:40:06 +0000 Ariadne 935923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I do not like them one little bit either. &nbsp;Grumpy face.<br /><br />This?<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://bananarepublic.gapcanada.ca/browse/product.do?vid=3&amp;pid=504804023">http://bananarepublic.gapcanad.....=504804023</a><br />ETA: Just noticed it's only available in 00 https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pardon-my-rant#post-935919 Sat, 18 May 2013 19:33:51 +0000 Glory 935919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I totally commiserate with this.<br />Here are some possible options:<br />Talbots&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.talbots.com/online/browse/category_landing_galleryview.jsp?id=cat120042&amp;rootCategory=cat70008&amp;section=Regular&amp;subCategoryIdUnderSale=&amp;conceptIdUnderSale=&amp;colorOverride=">http://www.talbots.com/online/.....rOverride=</a><br /><br />Jacobs<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jacob.ca/clothing/blouses?limit=all&amp;mode=newgrid">http://www.jacob.ca/clothing/b.....de=newgrid</a><br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pardon-my-rant#post-935917 Sat, 18 May 2013 19:21:50 +0000 Jenava 935917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Suz, they are probably having to pay VAT and tariffs, sadly. &nbsp;Not that that is an excuse. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pardon-my-rant#post-935916 Sat, 18 May 2013 19:20:01 +0000 Sona 935916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ banana republic has&nbsp;some too.

It is just that I can't bear that markup for no reason.&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pardon-my-rant#post-935910 Sat, 18 May 2013 19:04:43 +0000 Suz 935910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I beg your pardon in advance. I want to say something very nasty.&nbsp;<br /><br />(I won't say it, but I will complain.)&nbsp;<br /><br />I am on the hunt for a simple silk shell to wear with the suit. I have done all the brick and mortar stores in Kingston that I am aware of, including our consignment store. NADA.&nbsp;<br /><br />So I go online. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.anntaylor.com/ann/product/AT-Petites/AT-Petite-Blouses-Tops/Petite-Silk-Shell/290214?colorExplode=false&amp;skuId=11953449&amp;catid=cata000045&amp;productPageType=saleProducts&amp;defaultColor=9192&amp;CID=aff_7078679">Here is this decent looking, well reviewed shell. </a>YAY - it is on sale,&nbsp;and there is one left in a size that works for me (4P) in winter white, which should work pretty well, right?&nbsp;So I go to order it.&nbsp;<br /><br />Do you know how much they want to ship this into Canada? More than $25. Plus $15 other taxes. So my $53 shell becomes a $94 dollar extravaganza.&nbsp;<br /><br />I didn't order it. I just can't stomach that. It probably weighs less than a regular letter!!!&nbsp;<br /><br />Fifty One, I do not like you. Not one little bit.&nbsp;
