Yes they deliver to Spain for £10 at UK retail prices (unlike Next who inflate their euro prices).

I know many of you will think I'm sad but as a property owner in Spain who only gets five weeks holiday a year, it's essential I spend those weeks actually enjoying my holiday. I've previously ordered sheets, towels, candles, storage jars and even wine glasses and they all arrived in good condition.

We travel with only hand luggage but the liquid restictions are a bit of a pain, so now I'm going to order some toiletries on my next delivery and they should have been delivered By the time I next get over.

And best of all no exchange rates to bother with so you save the del charge in the first order and no I don't work for M & S.

Happy shopping,

Jules

Thanks for that info Wodge.

Can you order in store online or both?  where does your stuff get delivered to? I only have a post box in the local village. Do you know if goods can be sent to the local Post office.

Oh sooooo many questions!!!!

Many thanks

Well done Wodge

This could be great, it would appear tht you can order what you like with one free delivery if you spend over £80.

Home owners could get there TV's, electricals and furniture delivered,which are more expensive in Spain.

Here is the link

Looking at the T&Cs they dont deliver electricals or furniture, never mind still a good idea and cost effective maybe.

Hi Sterling,

I'm unsure if they would deliver to a Post Office,  I have my goods sent to my property managers or try to plan the delivery whilst I'm over. Try adding the postbox address as a delivery address and if the parcel can be signed for I don't see why not.

You can only order online.

I love it , saves hours of shopping with a moaning husband!!

 PS Just tried to order suntan lotion on my next delivery and for some reason this product cannot be shipped internationally.

Evening Wodge,

Thanks for the info. Doubt if I'll be able to use the service though. We have no 'address' as we are fairly rural, we dont even have a proper road, Argh solitude!!! we have to go to 'the small box on the wall of the village' and I have never seen the postman or woman.However I will make a few enquires.

Ps Mercadona sun tan lotion is fantastic with a lovely smell and really cheap. I suffer with Psorisis and it is the only 'cheapo' I have found that not only smells great but more importantly mosturises my skin realy well. Give it a try.

Hi Sterling,

Thanks for that, I also order from Mercadona online and have it delivered on the day we arrive-I'll add it to my list.

Hi,  who do M&S use to deliver? Is it Correos or a courier? Correos do not deliver post to our urb (long sorry tale!) Or would Correos actually deliver a parcel like that?

Regards, Poppyseed

Hi Poppyseed,

They use Parcelforce worldwide to ship the parcels, I presume they are forwarded to a partner courier in Spain as all deliveries have to be signed for. My last parcel was huge, I can't imagine the post office being able to cope with parcel of this size and weight.
