Re: UK Shops Delivering To NZ
Has anyone had any issues importing food parcels from back home or from other ex-pat sites offshore? There's a few sites on <<<snip>>> that Ship to New Zealand[/url] that I want to get stuff from but I'm reluctant as I don't know enough about the import rules. I read their import guide and I'm fairly confident there won't be any issues, but even so...?

Any new updates on online uk shopping sites I should be having a look at. Where the stock actually comes from the UK and of the same UK quality. I've noticed a lot of UK stores now ship their stock from warehouses not in the UK and therefore not the same quality as their UK counterparts. IYKWIM.

Must have a downer on M&S clothing at the moment then...

I just wondered if there were any new sites out there that folk had found that I hadn't heard of yet.

Official NZ service run by post NZ that appreciates a lot of suppliers, manufacturers, retailers etc do not post to NZ due to it's small population so they give you an address in either USA,UK,PRC where you send the article to. When it arrives there you get an email message where you pay postage to NZ at a good rate and Youshop send it to you We use it for stuff we cannot source in NZ.

Ah ok, thanks for that.
Isn't it more expensive than getting it from the actual supplier though. what kind of things do you buy through it, are they just things you kind of yearn for that are familiar from your homeland or do you think it saves you money compared to like for like products over here in NZ?

If you want some decent casual clothes by Ripcurl, Billabong, Quiksilver etc then check out Surf Dome:

Go straight to the sale section at the top - cheap as chips! We had free international delivery on anything over 50GBP last time we shopped a few weeks ago.

Just placed an order with M&S for some undies, a bra and shoes - hope it's their usual. Gotta say, when I left in 2011 I felt that quality had already dropped there so not sure if that was a trend.

My M&S sheets were ace. Exactly as expected. Great value and the price was all in. Nothing to pay this end.

M&S (along with some other well known brands) have been in the spotlight lately, not in a good way. From reading the article it looks like a lot of the companies were non the wiser as to what was actually happening and are trying to do something about it:
