am considering selling them at my stamp store but they will have to sell for about $10- $11 per stamp due to the dollar exchange rate. that's pretty high for a stamp that size and unmounted. question to all: would you pay that much for a stamp? feedback will help me decide whether to carry or not. thx

Click on "Change the currency" in the upper left to change to US $. They are really cute!
Edited to add: I just realized you specified USA stores~! Sorry! I did a search on Magnolia stamps just to see what they look like -- so if I happen to come across any @ USA stores, I'll post it here.
I saw a card in the gallery with a girl with a windmill behind her. I checked out the magnolia site for 45 min and couldn't find it for the life of me! They are super cute stamps, but I got too frustrated with the site to even bother ordering.

So adorable and cute....yes, I would pay if I could buy from a US store online.
I'm looking into it. Sweden, unfortunately, is one of the worst countries to deal with for businesses. Their prices are SO high for everything. If they are manufacturing the stamps in Sweden, their actual cost for manufacturing is going to be much higher than it would be for a stamp manufactured in the US. Consider the cost of an unmounted stamp manufactured in the US, then consider the cost of these stamps. They are probably $4-6 more retail.
Not only will product costs be higher, shipping out of Sweden is unreal. I made a shipping error to a customer in Sweden and France. I switched their stamps around. The customer in Sweden mailed hers to the customer in France and vice versa. What I had paid $8.80 to ship to her, she paid $38 USD to ship to France, just a few countries over!!! It cost the girl in France $24 USD to mail it to Sweden. (Of course, I reimbursed both of them.)
When I hear prices like that, I'm glad I'm in the US. I don't even know how businesses operate in countries with such prohibitive costs. It's one of the reasons so many people buy from the US (and the weak dollar).
Nonetheless, I'm still going to check it out and see what they have to offer.

I do hope it ends up being something you can do. I like the Magnolia stamps, but would prefer to buy from someone in the US. And I was SO glad to see you carrying the Rachelle Anne Miller stamps!!

I've placed maybe 6 orders from their sites http://www.dreamcottage.nu/english1/ and it takes exactly 10 days to receive them. I have never had a problem with them. They are great. I am waiting now for their latest sets to come out which just premiered in Europe last week. I am also a member of their Great STamp club which come out 4x a year.... Love em
PS shipping is about $5 usd per order and i normally get 50 - 100 worth the stamps when i order USD

Thanks for the info. I asked the owner of the Magnolia company last night how much shipping would be to the USA and for only one stamp that I had chosen I was given a quote of 12.00 That is a lot when you consider that the stamps do not have a heavy wooden block. Thanks to all of you for answering my question. I certainly do appreciate it. I think that I will wait for them to be on sale in the USA.
I just ordered 3 stamps - 2 of them being large background type and it was $5.77 shipping to Minnesota - KR Price is Sweden i think but you change your currency.
When I put in NH for the States came up to same price as MN - Shipping for 1 Gal stamp was $5.77 also not sure when the rate goes up cause i have ordered as high as $100 on that shipping.

I thought that I did the exchange. Obviously not. Thank you very,very much.
Sometimes it messes up if it does that go back and change it to anyone and hit the back button then go back and change it to USD again. Majority of stamps run $9 - I do not buy the small accessory stamps which are cute but too expensive for $9 but their stamp club which links are on the top is a GREAT deal i just got my spring set which had i believe 6 or 7 kids in it. I am at work so can't count but them had also maybe 12 accessory stamps like clouds, flowers and i think there was a watering can. Anyways it came up to $45 i believe which included shipping. I just signed up for the Summer one now which i believe i read somewhere ships out in July. Here is the link it says there are 12 - 15 all together which sounds about right but i know half were the kids
I find their site very difficult to use. If you click on a stamp for a larger image, it takes forever to load! Very frustrating!
I've ordered Magnolia from Funky Kits in the UK. Wish they were available in the States!

I get mine from a local stamp store here in Ontario. She doesn't have an online store but is happy to take phone and email orders. Her Magnolias sell out almost as quickly as she gets them in, but I happen to know that she just got an order last week (I know because I scooped up 10 or so of them myself....heehee), so if you would like to email her for the list of what she has available, her name is Phebe and her email address is mpmeeder @ sympatico. ca and she is fabulous to deal with. Hope this helps!

Are they going to be the same price per stamp as ordering in the UK? Just curious on the advantages of ordering in US vs the UK. Everytime I order from the UK only takes a little over a week to get my order I just wish the smaller stamps were cheaper as they all run the same price basically.

question on price
