Just found out recently that M&S now ship to Oz for 20 pound, for those of you that miss the store - I know I do

Tearose, keep an eye out, they sometimes do promotions where the shipping to Aus is free for a limited time. Had it a few times already in the last few months, usually a minimum spend limit (+- £80) & then you can get the parcel shipped for free

I used this a few weeks ago. Got the parcel fairly quickly

If only we could get food packages!!!

And there is a sale on ATM

Oh, I'm off to the website to have a look - Ohh a yes for food packages, I used to spend a small fortune in the food department, I always told myself to steer clear but I couldent resist

How long does shipping take ?

I had a parcel from them a couple of months ago when they had free shipping offer on. It came pretty quickly, no more than 2 weeks & they keep you informed. very good service I thought

So, do you have to spend a minimum ?

What do you miss about M&S ? I miss the underwear and bedding

It was the underwear for me!
Not just for me though, the men in my life too! Boxers/trunks whatever you call them, are ridiculously expensive here. For myself, I just could not find the style of knickers I liked here & I did try!
It's funny because generally my attitude is that you have to get on with what is available so for example, the lack of Walkers crisps doesn't worry me, but a girl just has to have good undies!

There was a min spend for free delivery but I managed that quite easily!

Maybe we could write to them and ask if they would be interested in opening a store here - I know I'd work there for them and I'm sure you would too, so that's two members of staff that they already have before they get here

Did you have to pay import duty on your goods sent from M&S? Good news is hear M&S are opening a few small stores in Oz in 2010.

Yeh i think they are opening afew stores here,i know im really sad but ive got m&s on facebook so you get to know alot via that.I get most of my clothes from there,doesnt matter how much you order i just pay 20 quid.Even better news NEXT are delivering to Oz next yr

Wow, do you know whereabouts they're going to be opening ?

I am on Facebook too, still finding my way around though, how do you get M&S on there ?

No if the order is under $1000 in value.

I've ordered a couple of times on the free delivery promotion & both times had the order arrive here within a week - not bad!
