Barbel Bob Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hi,This has probably been covered, but after a quick search nothing came up so here goes anyway!!!Try this linkhttp://www.sterlingshopping.co.uk/SterlingShoppingonline.htmlThey deliver to france for just 10% of your order...i made an order today will let you know how I get on. I know you can buy a lot of stuff here, but with the exchange rate at the moment and the cheapness in delivery it really does save you money!Sorry if this has already been posted.J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJT Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Very interesting Barbel Bob, I think it is a great idea. However, most of the things I would want from Tesco would be perishable but please do let us know how you get on and I may give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 That is one of the truly great things about Britain, the enterprise culture/spirit.What a damned good and original idea, I wish them every success, shame its not my area but then again its easier for me to return to buy stuff.When I finally have time once more on my hands I fancy having a bash at the mobile tyre fitting service suggested by on of the posters here.

And i have ordered lots of tea bags, uk bikkys, crisps!! well i got a little carried away!!! fingers crossed all goes to plan!!!J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbel Bob Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Hi odile, they just deliver to south west france.....j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osie Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Its a great sought after service which it seems is not all that well known at present... however, I must say that I am a bit pessimistic in saying that I find it hard that they can make a profit.hope it works out... maybe they should float and all complete france members get shares in the company ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la fromental Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Marks and Spencer also deliver to France for £10 which is excellent especially when they have a sale on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berlioz Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I ordered some clothes, non food items, greeting cards, presents etc. If you put anything in your basket that they cannot deliver to France an error message comes up when you try to check out. (I had some xmas crackers) good service but it takes much longer than the delivery stated on the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbel Bob Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hi,I received my order yesterday and cannot praise this company enough! delivery cheap and in shop condition fingers crossed they do not increase their delivery prices as I will certainly be using them regularly.J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connolls Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hi due to get delivery in Limoges on the 9th May...................if their standard of delivery and attention to detail is the same as it is when ordering things, then it looks to be a great service. Will let you know how it all goes, just to echo others thoughts, I hope they can maintain the service at a competative rate as it will be very regularly used by us, especially with the exchange rate being so poor. We will probably use it for items that are really expensive in France but will obviously continue to shop locally for all our everyday essentials.

Scooby Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I just went to the Tesco website and checked the delivery details page. It mentioned IOM, CI and Scottish Islands but nothing about SW France. Did you get a confirmed delivery date and do you have a link where it says delivery to SW France?? (Would really like to order Dulux paint for next time we're in France!)

plod Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 To say they deliver to SW France is a bit of an exaggeration - their web-site says Limoges, Bergerac, Perigueux. Not exactly SW France but handy if you are in those areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbel Bob Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Plod,It is worth e-mailing them about delivery as they are really trying to establish the business further afield.J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzer Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Their updated website says they are loking to expand into different areas, and are looking for people with dry storage and in return they will offer free delivery. I live in the Charente maritime and am trying to find out if they deliver here, but so far have not received a reply to my emails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbel Bob Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Jazzer,The website says they are delivering to charente on the 9th may???I think this is taking off big style , I know so many people who are ordering, fingers crossed they will be able to cope with all the enquiries!!!! Good luck!J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzer Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 This was the point of my email to them-does the Charente include the C. Maritime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
