Information note: ASW (Art Supply Warehouse) 1-800-995-6778 or 1-919-878-5077 located in North Raleigh, NC (www.aswexpress.com ) sells supplies at a wholesale price.

Note: You can ship these items ahead of time to me :

If you want to save on VAT shipping fees, then have the art supplies shipped to your home, then remove the bill and ship them to France yourself, stating that these are you own personal items of canvas and art materials. Or bring them with you in your suitcase; that would be free of charge. I would suggest that you, at least, ship over the canvases. ASW will ship directly to France, then I will pay the VAT when it is delivered and you can reimburse me. Or you can buy all supplies in Aix, for a much greater price — remember canvases in France will not be standard sizes in inches, as they are standard centimetre sizes.
