I really need these magnetic closure, in large quantities. My last resort is to buy them over eBay but hell, the shipping will cost me lot!!! :panic:

Magnetic snaps are often use as purse’s or bag’s closure. I prefer using magnetic snap as it looks more stylish than sewn-on snap button. Plus, it is easier to deal with.

I know a shop in Kota Bharu selling these, but it’s quite costly. RM4 for each pair! Aiiyaaaa, that is so expensive lah! :bawl:  I beg for discount and the shop owner only gave me RM0.50/pair off, IF i buy 5 pairs~

So, I really… really need your help :pfft: do tell me, where can I buy magnetic snaps… without costing me bones and limbs! :ops:

My findings…

I search on eBay and found this user (Ah Kwok Supplies) from Hong Kong. Besides magnetic snaps, they have other things like purse feet, purse frame and buckles… which really delectable! :inlove:

Not to forget, on Etsy! I’ve found a shop (CottonTouch) selling similar crafty supplies and she’s from Thailand. So, that means shipping must be cheaper since Thailand is nearer to Malaysia… rite? :hehe:

Magnetic Snap – International Shop

Shop Size Quantity in set Price (USD) Shipping Ships From 1 unit (USD)
CottonTouch's Etsy Shop 14mm 50 $15.00 $9.00 Thailand $0.48
handknit168's Etsy Shop 14mm 50 $10.50 $7.00 Hong Kong $0.35
handknit168's Etsy Shop 18mm 50 $12.50 $11.00 Hong Kong $0.47

Magnetic Snap – Local Shop

Shop Size Minimum Quantity in set Price Postage Brick&Mortar Shop
Snazzy&Such 18mm 1 RM1.90 RM6.00 -
Epal Craft Store (Kota Bharu) 18mm 1 RM4.00 - Yes

Opinions!

So, what do you think? Is it wise for me to buy these, online? I dunno if I will be charged with tax or not. But, it is definitely cheaper rite ;)

    • Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]>     Me love shopping, offline AND online. Two months ago, I bought Amy Butler’s Fabric Collection, Anna Maria’s Chocolate Lollipop, other designer’s fabrics and some crafty supplies. And all of these orders had arrived safely to my hand.

    Amy Butler’s Midwest Collection from Little Cherubs Heirloom

    Amy Butler\'s Midwest

    I’m satisfied with the whole collection consists of 10.5 yards of fabric with 21 designs. Owh yeah, it’s overwhelming you know. Drooling over these gorgeous fabrics, I’m still thinking on how to use these for which craft project. Afraid that I’ll be wasting them.

    Fabric type is lightweight cotton, suitable for quilts and craft projects like Ohimesan™, laptop sleeves, mini purse and checkbook cover.

    For each yard, I spent MYR31.82 (according to the currency rate at the time of purchase) which is OK cause I usually buy fabrics max RM35 per meter and do note that 1 yard is less 3 inches than 1 meter.

    • Total : USD103.36 = MYR334.12
    • Shipping using Global Priority Mail Flat-rate Envelope : USD11
    • Shipped on : 29th April, 2008
    • Release from Custom : 5th May, 2008
    • Package Received : 8th May, 2008
    • Time frame : 10 days!

    Yeay!

    I love googling for online stores in Malaysia. As you all know, I work in Hulu Terengganu, spend my weekends in Terengganu and Kelantan. I’m constantly traveling and really didn’t have time to do surveys for cheap bargains and looking for crafts shop. With just a few clicks, you can buy what you want. Beat the traffic and save your feet from sore blisters.

    I stumble upon this online store while googling for FIMO polymer clay. I was tempted by Sing Yee after seeing her kawaii creation, Lolly Lollipop! Thanks to her, for this great findings!!

    MarinaCraft™ — marinacraft.com.my

    MarinaCraft™ offers a varieties of crafty supplies like beads, gemstones, embellishments, fabrics, felts, modeling clay, craft tools and many more. They accept many option of payments like Credit Card, Paypal and FPX. Postage fees are considered cheap cause they use PosMalaysia for orders within Malaysia.

    I’m so hyped and excited when I saw the eyepins and headpins cause I’ve been looking for these like forever, plus they do have the FIMO clay. So, save me time from searching (and getting frustrated) for the craft stores or buying from international stores!

Tomorrow is Lohq’s birthday, and I’m still unsure about the present. All I can think are ‘Transformers’, model kit, vintage tee and perfume.

    Budget?

    herm, not much in mind-lah… hehe since I’ve spent most of my salary on furnitures. Well, maybe RM300 max.. err make it RM200 lor. I’m on a tight budget starting this month. I swear, no more shoes for me! There’s not enough room for shoes nimore.

    So, what I have in mind…

    A Transformer model kit, since he’s crazy bout them. How much will it cost me?

    Ironhide Transformer by recompose

    Perfume is the most common thing to be given as a birthday gift. So, I’m thinking of giving him Hugo #6 by (Hugo Boss) cause 0oh I love the scent on him. Very masculine and yet freshly scented. hihi

    Hugo #6 by (Hugo Boss)

    and some cool t-shirts for him… (damn Threadless!!) yeah i’m still pissed, ok!

    Stupid Cupid by Budi Satria Kwan

    and your ideas are?
