Graham,
One of the big issues that suppliers have in shipping to the Netherlands is the cost of the import Tariff.
I might suggest that if you can find a supplier of a top quality wrapper in one of the European Common Market countries, you would save all of the customs, and much of the freight charges to receive such a nice wrapper.
Another option, and it might be the best one, would be to build one yourself locally from locally obtained parts.
Basically a wrapper consists of a base, 2-4 rod rests, a thread holder and a power unit.
The bed can be as simple as a wooden board with a slot down the middle.
The rod rests can be made from 3 pieces of aluminum screwed into a base of plastic or wood, with three rollers mounted on the ends of two of the arms.
The power unit can be anything ranging from a sewing machine motor and a couple sets of pulleys, shafts, and belts to a more deluxe version with a gear motor and an electronics box.
Good luck
p.s. - If you would decide to build your own and need help, you can always drop me an e-mail at
