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

    • If the local archive doesn't suffice there's also the London Archives. I remember using what was then called the London Metropolian archive some years ago, and viewing Street Directories among other things  there. https://www.thelondonarchives.org/your-research/research-guides
    • You've sent me down a rabbit hole here! According to the 1909/10 street directory, 10 Whateley Road was the address for John Gibson, beer retailer.   He was born about 1860 in Walworth and his father, also called John, was a beer retailer as well. By the time of the 1891 census, John Gibson Junior had moved to 10 Whateley Road and described himself as a beer house manager. He was married to Margaret and had a son and a daughter. John and Margaret were still living at the address 30 years later when he described himself as a beer retailer. His mother's name was Charlotte Sarah and there is an entry from the same street directory as above for someone by that name described as a beer and wine retailer at 42 North Cross Road. This was most likely his mother, now described as a widow.   Hoping this is of interest.
    • A long overdue review for Niko who we have used a number of times over the years, sometimes to properly finish a job that other plumbers have not done properly. He thinks of everything! I only ever use another plumber if it's urgent and Niko is away. A really kind and thoughtful man and totally trustworthy
