Ordering with the group from the British Corner Shop

NEXT GROUP ORDER FROM THE BRITISH CORNER SHOP 

Hi Val

We thought we'd put in another group order to British Corner Shop during August, having collected people's wish lists at the Book Swap on August 4th.  Delivery will be to the September Book Swap, expected to be Monday 1st.  This order doesn't need to be a huge one, since the next one will be in November, to bring over anything book swappers might need in the run up to Christmas.  

We ordered for a group of 10 in January, and again in May, spending a total of over £1,000 - so clearly there are British treats which people living here like to receive.  In fact, as I think you observed, Val, when the package arrives at the following Book Swap it's like getting presents, even if you have bought them yourself!

All who attend the TAG Book Swaps are welcome to participate.  Below is a reminder of what to do to choose the goods you want to order.  We shall look forward to seeing you at the Book Swap on August 4th.

First step: go to the British Corner Shop web site and choose what you'd like.  The address is http://www.britishcornershop.co.uk/.  You can ignore log-in;  just click on Start Shopping or Shop Now and then view products by brand, search by name, or browse by group or by category. There's a tremendous range to choose from.  
Second step: don't add anything to an on-site Shopping Basket, but instead bring a note of what you've chosen, its brand, size and price, and your email address to the August Book Swap.  And that's it!  There won't be anything to pay in advance, and if you later find you are unable to pick up your order at the September Book Swap, we can make separate arrangements for payment and collection.  British Corner Shop's delivery charge - which is shared between those ordering - is usually 5-6% of the total cost of the goods.    
Val says thanks Chris and Karen, that makes it easy to understand.
