Tia Maria.....

kirkie_2

My wife drinks Tia Maria by the gallon :beer: and it is getting rather costly. We stumbled across a great site Free Brands by accident and thought it couldn't be right the prices that they were charging. Anyway we thought that we would by a bottle and to our surprise it took less than a week to arrive. The beauty of it was that I paid using Paypal....

I have just tried to order another bottle, but to my horror they do not accept Paypal, but suggest JensleyPAY who I have never heard of...

What I am trying to say is do you know any other site that sells Tia Maria (Or any booze for that matter) at cheaper prices than the supermarket & UK Off Licence?

Thanks....

Lidl are usually a lot cheaper for drink but not always wellknown uk brands

iceland have some off brands. They are £3.99 and there is one that I think is suppose to be like Tia maria.

I have not tried that one but there is another one in the range that is a coffee one. Is not a perfect match but ok.

As I am way to cheap to pay £10 + for a bottle of Tia maria. LOL!!!!!!!!

can you order cigs from them?

kirkie_2

Yes you can, but I think there is a limit due to them being very cheap....

Are there any special ordering exceptions to any special regions?

It's also illegal and goods may be confiscated by Customs...

silverfoxdude

it says on the site that it is legal to buy 200 in one go

ManAtHome

It also says (a bit further down)

Does your company guarantee that no duty tax will be paid worldwide?
No. It is the client´s responsibility to verify and abide by all applicable laws concerning the delivery or taxation to his / her region. Some countries may occasionally change international postal regulations and standards.

Apart from goods you carry into the UK, there are some cases where duty is waived. Looks like the only way you can legally get ciggies in is if somebody sends you up to 50 as a gift (doubt if 'corporate gift' would be allowed, even if they pack a congrats card with the goods..) - C&E angle http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/channelsPortalWebApp.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pageImport_ShowContent&id=HMCE_CL_001454&propertyType=document

And a cautionary tale http://www.chrisdaviesmep.org.uk/news/2005/feb/north_west_smokers_warned_about_internet_cigarettes.htm

By the way, I smoke, and have been buying mine in Europe for the last few years (since the 'advisory' limit was raised to 3200), so I'm not playing the 'outraged of CleckHuddersFax' card - just pointing out that it's more down to luck than legailty.

Hth.
