I've always used British Corner Shop. They've been great for everything and the stuff is always well packed and speedy.
Amazon also do a few things via British Corner shop and some of it is cheaper.
Also, if you need any creative baking type stuff, Lakeland will deliver to Italy for a flat delivery of £7.50. Well worth it and fab service!

www.ukfoodshopping.com is a fairly new site but they have been good when I used them. Their products seem to be continually growing and from what I have seen on the site the delivery to a lot of countries.

Their delivery charges are well steep though aren't they? More than double that of BCS.

I think that is a fair point on Europe they do seem more expensive at the minute.
I live in the US and had over 30KG of goods. Their shipping worked out cheaper than BCS in my case for the stuff I wanted.

Re: UK Food Delivery
I regularly get my mum to fill great big massive cartons with stuff from England, mostly stuff for the baby like nappies, wipes, baby snacks that aren't crammed with sugar, stuff that is either really really expensive here or doesn't exist. She always puts in a load of goodies as well, keeping me and hubby nice and fat. Jamaican ginger cake, golden syrup, walkers baked stars for OH who can't eat fried stuff, Worcestrshire sauce, jelly cubes, custard powder... last time she put in some pouches of roast chicken soup as well! The only thing we miss now are english cheeses, sausages and bacon. And mini pork pies. She send the boxes via Movecorp, and it takes 3 days to arrive. About £35 for a big massive box, approx 60x60x80cm. It might seem a lot of money, but you can get loads of stuff in there. I filled the last one with loads of toys i'd bought for my son's birthday, a Shark steam mop, tons of food, bottles of non alcoholic wine (cuz i'm up the duff again), packs of nappies, clothes i'd left behind in England, table lamps... if i'd had to buy all that stuff in Italy it'd have cost me much much more, so it's worth the money I reckon.

The RSPB are doing special offers:

I'd recommend 1 sack black sunflower seeds and 1 sack no-mess sunflower seed mix to start with, for the beginning of winter. Peanuts kick in towards spring.

I ordered my Xmas crackers from Amazon last week, they arrived yesterday. 2 boxes of 6, they include balloon animals and mini-pump. Those together with some fake moustaches will go down a treat at our Xmas lunch this Saturday

Re: UK Food Delivery
...and my stuff has been stuck in Grimbergen for the past week. Should have thought to order some crackers though.
