Hello people,


My sister-in-law has just had a baby in Korea and I would like to send her a gift... I am thinking baby books in English via Amazon, but wondering which Amazon should I use? .com or .co.uk?


I'm guessing shipping charges might be less from the US, but will they have to pay import tax when parcel arrives in Korea?


Grateful for any advice from those of you with experience in such matters!


Thanks

Claire

Hi Claire


I'm from Korea and have often sent stuff by parcel from the UK - haven't had import duty issues. Alternatively, there is a website called G Market (a heaven for internet shopping) where you can shop in English and pay with a credit card. They have all sorts of things and you can get it delivered directly to your SIL's address in Korea? I do this for my parents' birthdays, etc. It's a bit like Amazon (i.e. sellers list stuff and ultimately care/ protection provided by the company. It's owned by eBay).


Send me a PM if you need any help.


Amy

      Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.

      I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
