    As you well know, Argos does not deliver direct to Spain. However, I am pleased that you have turned to our website in preference to using your own company, who are of course one of the other sites we mentioned in the initial post who charge up to £45 a kilo to transport goods to Spain as opposed to the low rates offered through our site. As you know, we have negotiated those low rates for those buying from companies like Argos who do not deliver to Spain and those start at just £1.50 per kilo.

    I am suprised that you would want a patio set delivered to a campo house in Jaen when you actually live in Mojacar in Almeria?

    Anyway, since you seem to be at a loss as to how to obtain goods at a reasonable cost, go to UK Shopping in Spain - Department Stores where you will a link to the Argos site. You will also find a link as to how to arrange a delivery by courier from the UK to Spain at discounted rates.

    As you know, we do not get involved in either the actual purchase or delivery - we just provide the relevant links - that way you will have the full consumer protection available by both law and contract to the buyer as opposed to using a third party company like your own where most consumer rights are actually lost.

    Hopefully this will help you find the goods and service you need at the best costs. Out of interest, are we right in assuming that you are actually asking these questions to help you obtain goods for one of your clients? Any way, welcome to the growing number of users of the independent UK Shopping in Spain website.

    Let us introduce the first and only shopping site for expats in Spain seeking UK goods delivered direct to their homes here in Spain by the retailer. Take a look at UK Shopping in Spain

    Unlike other web sites of a similar nature, we are not a courier/transport company seeking to fill our vans at extortionate rates of up to £45 per kilo! We do not encourage the delivery of goods to a UK address for onward transport which will cause the buyer to lose their consumer rights of a cooling off period under the distance selling regulations by delays in the goods arriving here in Spain. We do not want personal and credit cards details of those that use our site - buyers deal direct with the retailers.

    With over 25 years of residency in Spain as expats, we are a husband and wife team that have found all the best UK retailers offering delivery direct to your home in Spain at reasonable cost, may of whom we have used ourselves, and linked them together in a single site. Some retailers will deliver for free, other are looking for just 5 Euros delivery, regardless of just how much is bought. Our site includes many household names like Marks & Spencer, Littlewoods, Miss Selfridge, Dorothy Perkins QVC, Waterstones - in fact, over 200 shops. This number will increase as more UK retailers provide shipping at a reasonable cost.

    Shop direct with household UK High street names in the comfort of your home and wait for delivery direct to your own door. With the pound so week at the moment, it makes sense and will save you a fortune this Christmas.
