Title: Strange help needed in London UK
Post by: Valdemar on October 17, 2009, 02:31:27 PM
Hi Guys,

I just got back from London on a mini break with wife and kids..

All was fine, we went for a bit of shopping (hard with two boys along, but still :D)

Wife fell for a nice red coat on regent street.. couldn't decide, didn't buy, now regrets.....

Found the coat online, 20£ up in price and not shipping outside UK...

Does anyone have any great ideas how I could get the coat for her?

Apart from the usual flippant replies ;) I really would like input from our resident brits :)


Thanks in advance,


V

Buy it delivered to a Brit friend and have them send it over?

I know there are mail forwarding services in the US for this kind of stuff, you could check if there are any based in the UK

I've got a few friends in the UK yes, but I don't know if they could be trusted with this sort of thing :D

And the online shop is 20£ more expensive than the street version  <_<

I've no plans to go down to London at the moment  :D

Brazen is your best bet, depends whether she fancies risking her credit card in fancy clothes shops in that area  :bowler:

I work a few minutes' walk from Regents St, I would be happy to purchase and forward it to you. Katmai can vouch for me in terms of Languish-related transactions.  :bowler:

Then again if it's on Regents St i am not sure my credit limit will stretch to cover  :lol:
