Lion bars are awesome. Well, they are if you like peanuts!

I can get all of the other candy bars that you mentioned, except Lion bars. I have to go to a special scottish or british imports store in order to get them. I'm also a big fan of curly wurlys and those are tricky to get a hold of here as well!!!!

I'd do this but only for a box of lucky charms!
Every bit of American chocolate I've ever had has been horrible (apart from snickers which we get here lol)
It's not creamy and doesn't melt in your mouth like British or even European chocolate.
It's really bland and not sweet.
Does anyone know how much it would cost to send a box of 600g lucky charms to the uk I'd be willing to pay shipping and cost etc I just wonder if it would be cheaper than paying around $11/12 here

I'd like to do this swap again but last time the cheapest shipping cost me more than the sweets, it was £15 to ship!

A jumbo sized box of lucky charms is like $7 or $8 here so once it's shipped it might not be any cheaper for you

Really :( oh that sucks, how about the smaller boxes? They're the ones that are 12 here god knows how much the jumbo box would cost! I only have some as my stepdad used to bring me them back when he worked in Virginia 2/3 times a year but now that contract has ended no more charms!
I thought he told me he had found em on offer for like $2 a box or bog of or something :(
I've only got 1 bowl left, I needed them lol

Hmm a little box would do how many grams are in a little box? And how much do you think it would cost to ship?

With flat rate shipping, maybe you should just get a few boxes at once, then the shipping is one cost. Instead of one box at a time?

Hmmm... Maybe not much cheaper. Not sure why it's so much, though... Doesn't make sense. But cereal isn't heavy, so maybe how I'm looking it up is just not working. And also, I only looked at the post office, not UPS or Fed Ex, which may be cheaper.
