Jaycotts has become my favourtie supplier for many things now.  They are often cheaper than anyone else and they seem to be making a big effort to reduce their plastic packaging.  I recently bought some Prym pliers and they came in a "green" jiffy bag, and today some interfacing has arrived in a paper bag packed inside a sturdy cardboard envelope

They are my first port of call for patterns and other stuff, and very quick too.

Yes, I've always found them very speedy. Ordered a couple of patterns on a Thursday afternoon and they were with me on Friday, very impressed.

I emailed them to say how pleased I was to see that they are reducing their plastic packaging and they have replied saying their goal is to be 100% plastic free.

(I wish  fabric could be posted without involving many layers of plastic but that seems to be some way off)

I ordered a couple of small items yesterday from Jaycotts and they arrived in less than 24 hours from time of ordering.  Excellent service and cheaper than other suppliers.
