Europe from July, Canada will start from August. £15 flat fee for deliveries to Canada. Some things not available but they say they will have a dedicated export team available at their Oxford Street branch.

Re: John Lewis to start international deliveries - including Canada
so you paid $308 for a $240 order sounds like a crap deal to me..what happens if you send the item back as it doesnt work or fit etc do you get your customs fee back???

Yes you have to be sure its going to fit etc, as return costs would be down to the buyer. But then I have a Next addiction! What can I say!

Isn't it all the same brand-engineered tat made in India/China/Sri Lanka etc?
I remember my mom sent me some shirts from some shop in the UK and she told me she paid £40 each for them or something daft, I went into Old Navy in Great Falls and they had the exact same shirts for $8 each. Not similar, exactly the same shirts made in Pakistan.
