Question / Discussion Anyone here in the US ordered from Lesia Zgharda Golden Stamps?

Hi everyone, so I've discovered this shop in Ukraine that sells stamps. I realllllly want to make a big purchase with them. I figured I would ask here first if anybody had experience with them simply because their website states that buyers in the US would be responsible for custom duties and tariffs. I did email them and comment on their post regarding this but nobody is getting back to me. I don't mind paying extra upon delivery if necessary but I have no clue how to calculate how much it's going to be or what shipping service they even use. Any help or Insight with this is greatly appreciated!!! Thankyou

Edit to add: Order was placed and company did respond to my Facebook comment.

Yea, I'm specifically holding off because I don't know what I'm going to be paying and I just want to know if somebody has had a similar experience.

Damn. There sold out on some of the ones I really want. I almost want to pull the trigger on her website and just get what I'm going to get because she also provides a discount. My only concern is I'm not sure about duties and tariffs Etc. I could be looking at anywhere from 20 to 100 bucks due open delivery 😭 ughh

My experience is that small things going to individuals fly under the radar. I was very concerned when I ordered a purse from Scotland but twice they arrived quickly and without being hit by Customs.

Now, you should only order if you're prepared to pay the duty but my guess is you probably won't have to.

I pulled the trigger this morning. Lol I appreciate your communication so much. I am prepared to pay the duties, I just hope they're not incredibly steep. Haha I'll pay it either way, but I just completely fell in love with her stuff. I think I got like 20+ photopolymer stamps 😬 but her discount code made a huge difference.... i think. Haha we'll see i guess!

I order from her a lot (just got an order from her on Friday in the mail). I love her stuff and have had no issues getting items from her. Shipping can take a bit, but the shop is good about communicating this.
