I want to help a friend who lives near Cork... I'd like to send some foodstuff but just seen the price of postage :eek:
He is chronically ill and spending more time at home. We have been talking about baking and so I want to send him a starter kit so that we can skype and bake at the same time.... a sort of bake-off
.
Can anyone tell me of some good home delivery companies for Eire or have any of you overcome the costs of getting stuff sent to Ireland?
I've used Amazon for some measuring cups and stuff but foodstuff is just too heavy to be cheap to buy on there for dispatch to Eire.
The person won't accept gift cards / money as he is quite a proud man so I want to send a gift that is useful and that he can't argue with once he gets it
.
Any thoughts would be really helpful.
Thanks

Could you order a supermarket home delivery of the baking stuff for him?
Ah beaten to it by a cross post!Norn Iron Club member 4730 -
as this has dropped down OS i've moved it to Shopping and groceries in case anyone can advise on cheap delivery in Southern Ireland.
Hi, we move threads if we think they’ll get more help elsewhere (please read the forum rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com"]forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].
good luck, very kind of you to do such a nice thing for your friend
ZipA little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:
