Title: Buying chocolate from amazon.co.uk
Post by: Cherry_Ripe on July 07, 2010, 01:12:43 pm
So who will be ordering their choc from Amazon now it is available there?

Do you see anything not usually available in the UK?

Was just about to post this - in fact it's probably better someone else did, otherwise I'll be accused of self-promotion ;)

There are quite a few South African Cadbury products I'd not heard of before - the Lunch bar (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cadbury-Lunch-Bar-55g/dp/B003N7QQCS,), for example.

Did I miss something Smurfy, do you work for Amazon? I buy nearly everything from them.

BTW your link didn't work for me :-(

I do indeed - not on Grocery though. That link might have been an internal one - try this:

Cool, do you get a staff discount?

That chocolate bar's so funny, 99p plus £4.95 shipping. I'm a supersaver shipping gal!

The choc is a third-party seller, so no Supersaver sadly :(

I do get staff discount but only 10%, so nothing fantastic.

Smurfy, it says in our local paper that the groceries are being distributed from the Amazon warehouse in Peterborough. I din't even know they had a base here?

Apparently, some stuff can be ordered free delivery and others not.  I'm not sure I'd order this stuff from Amazon anyway.

This is great, but probably not a good idea to order anything chocolate with the current weather (no-one seems to offer refrigerated delivery :-P ).

Neither did I! I did hear some extra warehouse space had been taken on; maybe it's specifically for Grocery.
