Advantages: Good range, quick delivery

Disadvantages: Some items out of stock

At Christmas I struggled with what to get my teenage son, apart from the usual boring CDs, DVDs etc! Until I stumbled upon this website and decided to put together a hamper of American food for him!

I found this website to be great, it offers a really good range of products, from crisps (chips!) to red hot chilli sauce, to cereal and pop tarts, to American fizzy drinks (Mountain Dew, Welch's grape juice, Kool Aid etc) to chocolate and candy. Having compared the prices of the individual items if bought on Amazon for instance, this site is substantially cheaper. Ok, it still isn't cheap, but these items aren't available freely in our supermarkets so the price is pretty much expected. My favourite American cereal, Lucky Charms, for instance are much cheaper via this website (around £4.50 to £6ish, depending on availability of the size of boxes available) than in the rare shops over here that sell them (Selfridges charge around £7 and a specialist American food store I stumbled across recently in Carlisle charge £8!).

I also found the delivery cost (around £4.50 I think) to be reasonable, especially if you are ordering several items like I was. Delivery only took a couple of days.

Some items were out of stock or had low availability or short sell by dates, but again, we have to remember these products are being imported, so these things are to be expected (and lets face it things run out from our own supermarket shelves often enough so it is not unusual!).

Generally, a great range and a great service!

Summary: God bless America!
