Was thinking along these lines. Cadbury, Marmite and tea definitely. This is what I was thinking of:

Oxo cubes
Bovril (the packeted drink sachets)
Burtons Fish & Chips (curry flavour)
Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
Herbal tablets
Pear drops
PG Tips
Jammie Dodgers
Hobnobs
Colmans mustard
HP Sauce
Nandos peri peri salt

There is more but that's it for now. If you have these in the USA let me know which ones.
Cheers.

No Jelly Babies on your list?! :(

The U.S. Postal Service doesn't allow alcohol to be shipped. UPS and FedEx allow it with some restrictions, but it's probably more of a hassle than it would be worth. I suppose you could just put a beer in with the rest of the items and take the chance that it would make it through without getting confiscated.

Some of the items on your list can be found at some supermarkets in the U.S.
Cadbury Bars, Oxo cubes, Lea & Perrins, Colmans, HP Sauce, are all fairly easy to find where I am.
Other items can also be found but you'd have to visit a shop that specializes in British food. There is such a shop a few miles from me, but they tend to be few and far between in most areas and some states don't seem to have any at all.

I'd rather it not be confiscated so I'll check the restrictions and see what can be send. Cheers mate.

Is cheese OK? I know it will be fine if unopened just is it allowed? I could send some good cheeses.

Not sure about cheese. The British shop near me sells cheese but I don't know if there are any restrictions or extra paperwork to import it from the UK.

If you mean that one has to trade in order to get it, then yes.

If you're wanting to ship beer or alcohol, UPS has a policy where you have to ship through a distributor. Same goes with guns that aren't antiques. At least that's how it is if you got into a UPS store. I think it's the same regardless so yeah. The post office can be a bit more laxed but you run the risk of it getting lost. Shipping internationally is far more reliable with UPS. Most countries dont offer tracking once it hits customs for the post office. UPS offers it all the way but you obviously pay more. You may be better off going through an actual distributor since they know all the restrictions and rules for shipping.

:D made me laugh.

Cheers Ki. I might just not bother sending beer. I could send better things with the weight beer would take.

Welcome back btw.
