I'd love to know too. I've seen sites in sterling (high shipping), sites in dollars (high prices) and sites in whatever currency you have! I havent used any yet, though...

I don't know what their shipping prices are like, because I've not used them yet - but there is:
www.xpatshop.com
They're really friendly - and will even go to Marks & Spencer etc to get special items for you if you ask.

Don't know about online sites but I'll get you a suitcase full of UK goodies for the price of a cheapo airline ticket SFO - LHR!

Hi,
Thanks Elvira, would probably work out just as cheap to send you, rather than someone else ship a box!!! Also, the site given above should be co.uk, not sure what their shipping costs are yet, but has plenty of stuff.
Regards,
Dave
