English/UK food - online?

332415 · Post by **332415** » Tue Oct 15, 2013 7:04 pm

I know for sure there is nowhere in Jyväskylä where I can buy English food, and the only place in Finland that I know of (that will deliver here) is the Little Britannia shop in Turku, but the stuff in there is so overpriced compared to shelf price in England and the chose isnt amazing - I figure there must be somewhere else online or something that sells and ships to Finland, right?

So does anyone know? How do you other Brits get your fix of food you miss?

There must be an online shop somewhere that does it?

edit: I should say, I know there are different websites to do this on. The question is more, do you have any experiences in which are/is the best in terms of choice and delivery costs?

Stick to Amazon as seller. Or at least check that the order is fulfilled by them.

britishcornershop.co.uk I haven't looked at prices or delivery charges, but maybe worth a look?

Yep.

"Dispatched from and sold by Amazon." and "Delivered FREE in the UK with Super Saver Delivery." are the magic words you're looking for.

Oh. Well free delivery to/"in" the UK isnt really helpful to me, but I'll try it anyway, thanks

Just believe us, it's what you want. Super Saver Delivery is free for all orders in the UK and >£25 orders in many other countries, including Finland.

I should have added that the free delivery is available only to those with the noddle to read the "Delivery rates and policies" page. There you can find a full Q&A with details on how to get international free delivery. Is "332415" your age OP? Internet a bit tricky for you?

(Not intended to be be offensive, but cases like this on FF makes one wonder why one bothers).

Old before your time.

I did try to help you earlier, in this thread https://www.finlandforum.org/viewtopic.p ... 73#p489673 but another wasted effort on my part. Makes you wonder why people bother. Oh yes, I don't bother much anymore, I'm reminded why. Thanks.
