    I used to go there with my mom to get Scottish goods - small stuff like walker's shortbread and that orange marmalade from Dundee.
    Also a good place to get British teas like typhoo or pg tips.

    Well yes, I see. I would certainly miss Walkers crisps. Smarties? I must have eaten thousands of those in my time, but I am not sure that they are still around, perhaps I have just not noticed them recently? As to Mr. Kipling’s creations , I have never been totally convinced how freshly baked they are but we always have a packet or two of their wares lurking in the cupboard.
    It seems from what others are saying here that UK produce is not that difficult to obtain over there.

I have used The British Corner Shop website but they are based in Britain and the cheapest shipping is about $20. I recently found Ackroyd's Bakery which is US-based but shipping is still $15. Amazon has some things but they often take a long time to arrive and are usually stale.

    Is there a website that offers British or overseas groceries without shipping that makes it too expensive to justify the cost?
    ROAD TRIP! Jungle Jims just north of Cincinnati O. I used to live up there and got LOTS of stuff from them. They have a whole UK section.
