SO i have the packing company coming soon, can i add a box of squash for me to take out (well the packing people to add to my things?)
I have been taking out bottles in my luggage, just wondering if i could actually take a box of squash out, or 4 big bottles of it???

If you can bring it in your luggage, logically you should be able to put it in a container.

Robinsons squash is available but it's huuuuugely expensive compared to the UK, and there isn't really a Canadian equivalent. We're not successfully through the process but I'd like to know if I can pack a large bottle or 4 in my container if/when the time comes as well!

according to that site the only place that will supply that stuff is a website called findersfinefoods.com, who will only ship me a case of 6 (not much of an option to test and see if it's nice!), and that will cost $26.82. Which is $4.47 a bottle. Imported Robinsons orange squash costs $4.99.
The Canadians don't seem to 'do' squash, it's one of the quirks of different countries: UK - an aisle of different types. Canada - none! Fair enough, it's a different country, it's just one of those weird things. And why I'd like to bring some hefty-size bottles at £2 a time over with me as a supply while I adjust to my new no-squash lifestyle!

Sods law, I just returned from having lunch about 200yds from the store in Trenton and wont likely be back that way before Ive forgotten all about it again.
Canada could use more squash drinks, but its one of those "its a foreign country things" so I suppose we will keep jugs of fruit punch, ice tea, cool aid etc in the fridge for a while longer.

You can get Ribena at Food basics - $4.99 a large bottle... I have only seen Robinsons in the brit stores such as the one is Dundas - around the same price though.
Bulk barn stock a lot of brit food, unfortunately not squash though. http://www.bulkbarn.ca/en-ca/products.html?category=77
As to the OP's question, if they are sealed, do not contain animal by products you should be able to ship them.

I just wonder why you would want squash when pure orange juice is readily available and costs less. You can even dilute it if you have children that drink it by the bucketful like mine did.
