[IvorBiggun2]

This man has it all. He trades out and about and you need to contact him to find if he goes near your location.     https://www.nookiesdelights.3baht.net/docs/Nookies Price List.pdf

 

https://www.nookiesdelights.3baht.net/  You won't be disappointed. If he hasn't got it he can get it for you. He has a farang get together on a Sunday so turn up for a beer.

Old photo of his shop pay no attention to that picture.

I think that the expat brands available at Big C are dependent on the farang demographic in that area and whether it is a Big C superstore. I live across the road from Big C Saphan Kwai and have shopped there for 5 years but I prefer the variety at Big C Ladprao. I am sure that the expat content in Thonglor or Ekkamai would be greater than our store and also more in demand. I prefer getting my expat items from Tops or Gourmet Market as I find the Big C stock is often "stale" or nearly out of date.

So that's Colmans mustard (owned by the Dutch company Unilever), Branston Pickle (owned by Japanese company Miskan) and Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce (owned by the US company Kraft Heinz).

 

Truly great British brands eh?

Those companies may well own Colman's mustard, Branston pickle and Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce now but they didn't originally. It doesn't change the fact that they are all British brands that originated from Britain. So yes, they are truly great British brands.

He doesn't seem to have done much leg work to explore the options. A simple Google search would have yielded scores of results.

You never gave me the names of the 12 other places that sell the products I'm after?

If you buy UK foods in Topps you pay a high price for it as most of its UK foods are supplied by the UK upmarket Supermarket Waitrose. For which you will find a Waitrose label on some of the UK foods. Rimping I find tend to stock a bigger variety of UK food cheaper. Wholesaler Makro can be worth a visit for some things.

Ta, squire.  But I'm only here for another six weeks.  Is there much fol-de-rol involved in "registering"?

Is it really so hard to click "register" and see what is involved?  You need to enter your name and email and they send a link to your mail to set up a password. It's literally the least strenuous things ever. 

Used them several times, their products are good, their prices are good, and for where I live in Bangkok there's a flat 300 baht delivery which is not great for a 250 baht block of cheese, but fine if you are ordering a bit more.  I normally do a 3-4,000 baht order at a time so the 300 baht delivery is nothing.

Amazed that someone has to ask someone else to explain the registering process rather than just clicking on "register" themselves....

There were a shortage of lea&perrins last year but it seems to have come back, 

only Branston pickle or piccalilli would be the difficult to find in all branches of the typical supermarket

And it often takes more time and effort to write and post a post asking about how to do it , rather than just actually doing it

Na you just turn up at his abode on a Sunday and get whatever you want. He takes phone calls other times. I really can't understand why you are the only person to ask about this person/place. The guy is a blessing for those wanting farang foods.

I dunno about about any emails etc. I live nearby to the guy that sells the stuff and I go in person and have a beer with him on a Sunday. He's cheaper than Tops, Makro etc.

Good point.

This just goes to show how successful these original British products are. 

I don't think ownership of the companies reflects on the quality of the product in this case.

I dont think its about country of origin (unless the guy is a nationalistic ......)  I think its more a matter of taste that he likes. He just remembers them from when he lived in the UK.

 

We all got things we like.

They do nationwide delivery for siamburi's . Delivery a bit pricey but they got everything.

That's exactly why I have had to cancel using them because the delivery charges wipe out the good choice and savings.

 

For delivery I was paying 500/600 baht.

 

Either they are making a lot on delivery charges or they should look at cheaper options for nationwide.

And what was the value of the produce? In Thailand location is everything. Fortunately I don't pay delivery charges due to living near the seller and collecting it myself. But I would accept delivery charges if different. You have a choice. The seller has overheads as well.

I sent a medium sized box to Pattaya by courier full of CDs, rhe cost by private courier was 30 baht.

 

I recently sent to Pattaya, guardrails (×5) which were heavy and a separate box with connecting ropes, total cost was 400 baht and far more weight than any deliveries I have received.

I have no problem with people running a business and appreciate overheads and the products are good, but rhe great experience is taken away with expensive delivery costs.

We expect with imports and taxes to pay 30-35% more, but alternate delivery services could be looked at.

Where exactly are the "expensive delivery costs" in your narrative above??

You consider 400 baht "expensive" for the weight you describe as being delivered??

 

What would be an INexpensive cost?

What sort of turnout is there?

Do the same people go every week?

What nationalities are the attendees? Mostly Brits?

All depends on turn-outs. It's kinda hit and miss. One week there could be just five. Next week there could be 20+. No specific reason for the difference. People just turn up as and when they need goodies. You can take your missus being as the wives sit and do their own thing also.

Regular customers include expats from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, USA, Canada, Australia, Germany, Scandinavia, Turkey, Holland, Belgium

You've missed the comparison point I was making completely.

 

Forget it. I gave an example with the above posts I sent. I did NOT consider the 400 baht delivery charge expensive as the posts were over six kilos combined. They were far cheaper and heavier weight than my food deliveries were. That is what I couldn't understand.

 

Anyway, its a customer choice, if we feel it doesn't work for us and we have tried it then we can shop elsewhere.

 

I was stating an opinion that it didn't work for me and that's it.

 

It was mainly meats and cheeses I was buying anyway, which I am able to get similar, but not like for like, options at Makro in Isaarn.

 

You may very well reside in Pattaya or Bangkok and be able to avoid 14/15 GBP delivery charges. All good for you.
