Title: UK Food Shop - Gauging Interest
Post by: billington.mark on February 23, 2012, 09:32:34 AM
After reading a few new posts on here offering country specific services ive racked my brains and thought I could start selling UK foods that aren't easily available in other countries.

Im happy to post items upto about the size of a shoebox anywhere in the world for payment in BTC. (no glass jars or quickly perishable items though)

Drop me a PM or reply to the thread with requests and i'll provide quotes.

I was thinking along the lines of chocolate bars, Tea bags etc. that isnt easily obtainable in the USA and other parts of the world.
Its not easy to give a complete list as there is so much! on top of that, im not 100% sure whats sold in the USA with the same name and if its actually the same product.

Examples of Chocolate bars available are here: http://www.cadbury.co.uk/ourproducts/today/Pages/JS_bars.aspx?category=bars

Tea bags such as: PG Tips, Tetley, Twinings that are FAR better than anything you can get in America. (assuming you like English Tea)

Id also be happy to post products to the USA and other countries from websites and shops that don't currently ship to the USA.

I'm currently in the process of setting up a website and these will be some of the products I'll be selling (UK tea bags, confectionery etc.).

Since I'm not open yet I have no idea what the demand might be like.

Best of luck with it - there's nothing wrong with a bit of healthy competition :)

I'd consider posting glass jars but the postage will be more.
