Press Release Summary = British goods are now in demand overseas more than ever
before. This is largely due to the growing number of British Expats, and Anglophiles
around the world. Up until now it was extremely difficult to find UK based companies
who were prepared to take orders from Overseas Customers. That has all changed now,
thanks to a new website, www.ukshoppingworldwide.com.

Press Release Body = What makes this website unique is that it is a shopping
directory which only includes UK based Retailers who offer Worldwide Delivery. It
is divided into departments, making your search for a particular item much easier.
Think of it as a virtual store guide, where each department has a number of brands.
You visit the department, have a good look around, and go to the retailer's website
that interests you most. Nothing could be simpler.

Site owner, Rachelle Font, had this to say, "UK retailers have finally gotten wise
to the fact that there is a HUGE market for their products overseas! All of the
Companies listed on UK Shopping Worldwide are UK based and ship worldwide."

According to one British Expat, "I used to have a hard time finding my favourite
brands when I moved. I wanted to find UK retailers who would ship the products that
I wanted. I had to trawl through a lot of retailers' websites before I found any
that would do it. Then a friend told me about UKShoppingWorldwide, and I took a look
at it. I was sceptical at first, but the site is just what I was looking for. No
more searching through websites that don't ship abroad! I just go to the department
that interests me, and I have a selection of retailers to choose from. It's great!"

Another problem that many British Expats face is sending gifts to their friends and
family back in the UK. The customs duty can add to the original cost of the gift,
not to mention the shipping costs, if you send an item from Overseas. Sending an
item that is gift-wrapped is extremely difficult as it is likely to be opened by the
customs staff before it reaches its destination. UKShoppingWorldwide has come up
with the perfect solution, with their Cards & Gifts Service. Rachelle Font explains,
"We\'ve also added a Cards & Gifts Services section listing UK Companies which will
send cards & gift wrapped presents to your UK friends & family." The service makes
sending a gift to someone in the UK much simpler, and far cheaper.

Whether you are looking for goods from your favourite UK high street store, want to
send a gift to your family back in the UK, or you just want to have a taste of home,
UKShoppingWorldwide makes it easy to find. From old fashioned sweets, to high
street fashion, to your favourite football team's merchandise; the site has links
for all types of retailers. You can quickly access websites for retailers who are
more than happy to ship the goods to you, no matter where you are in the world. It
may be true that 'There's no place like home', but UKShoppingWorldwide can help you
to overcome your yearning for your favourite items from 'back home'.

So spread the word; the British (retailers) are coming!
