mint Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Did an online shop for some vitamins pills today. It is a company based in the Canary Islands (recommended to me by Pommier) and, after noticing some dental chews for dogs, I ordered a packet for my little spoilt darling.Similar chews cost something like 35 euros a kilo or some such ridiculous price in the magasins.These were less than half the cost and I was delighted to find them as the dog just adores them and she gets given one if she's had something unpleasant done like having her ears cleaned.When it came to Checkout, guess what, there was a red rectangle round the dog chews and I was informed that this item was not allowed into France and would I like to remove them from my basket or have them sent to another address?So, I couldn't help wondering if the cause is some sort of French protectionist registration and whether I could have had them sent to the UK instead?Anyone has any ideas or comments?

idun Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Friends told me once that they had had the same problem when they had ordered stuff with the guinness logo on it. The screen told them that goods advertising alcoholic drinks were not permitted in France. Seemed like nonsense to me, but there you go, they couldn't buy what they wanted.Dog chews though, no idea why that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 What is in the dog chews ? Any trace of a meat product that would be caught up in the import banning regulations that the French put in place after the BSE outbreak that are still enforced ?

Pommier Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Channel Islands Sweet 17!! I won't be held responsible for Canary Island orders!We get hide chews for our dog from Zooplus, and although they seem expensive, there are 100 in a pack so they last ages.

mint Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Oh Pommier, I was mixing up all these blasted islands![:$]Nevermind, Zooplus, yes, have used them before so will look there.Do you know what, I am increasingly getting confused between my a*** and my elbows......gggrrrr...Anyway, on another tack, I put my chateau on leboncoin and, whilst not having found a buyer (but some inquiries), I had many enquiries from immobiliers and one of them has found some people who are très interessés and so on verra![:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
