Was just about to post this - in fact it's probably better someone else did, otherwise I'll be accused of self-promotion ;)

There are quite a few South African Cadbury products I'd not heard of before - the Lunch bar, for example.

Did I miss something Smurfy, do you work for Amazon? I buy nearly everything from them.

BTW your link didn't work for me :-(

I do indeed - not on Grocery though. That link might have been an internal one - try this:

Cool, do you get a staff discount?

That chocolate bar's so funny, 99p plus £4.95 shipping. I'm a supersaver shipping gal!

The choc is a third-party seller, so no Supersaver sadly :(

I do get staff discount but only 10%, so nothing fantastic.

Smurfy, it says in our local paper that the groceries are being distributed from the Amazon warehouse in Peterborough. I din't even know they had a base here?

It says in my paper it will be £7.50 delivery costs for some tomatoes and a cucumber.

Apparently, some stuff can be ordered free delivery and others not.  I'm not sure I'd order this stuff from Amazon anyway.

This is great, but probably not a good idea to order anything chocolate with the current weather (no-one seems to offer refrigerated delivery :-P ).

Neither did I! I did hear some extra warehouse space had been taken on; maybe it's specifically for Grocery.
