Just seen a must have item in a shop near Antwerp, but it seems that they only deliver to Belgium or Holland. Anyone have any ideas how I can get hold of it? Other than jump in a car and drive there...

    Just ask them: if they ship in the Netherlands en Belgium they will most likely have a contract with one of the international players. In most cases the costs will be slightly higher, and it will cost them the same effort.

    If only I had some friends!
  • OK, problem solved. Looks like I posted too quickly. Just had an email saying the will ship to the UK. Happy days! :D
  • Come on, tell us what it is - or is it a top secret pressie for someone on here? Or something so embarrasing you'd rather not admit to buying it?

    Does using the words "Belgian" and "in fashion" in the same sentence not make it an oxymoron?
