Hi there,

Can anyone tell me if I can order health food/supplements from the UK and have them delivered here - its for personal use, not commercial.
thank you for any responses

There was a problem a few years ago when someone ordered in bulk, for resale, and I believe it was impounded. However, I now order again from Healthspan in Guernsey, perhaps once every four months, and have no problems. Good luck.

Don't know if its any help but we went to Ledra street for a walk after collecting our residency and noticed there's a Holland & Barrett just past Debenhams

About 2 years ago they changed the law and now you are not allowed to have any medication or supplement etc delivered here.

oh dear Zarafet, that's not good news
but the info about Holland and Barrett is very useful - thank you - I think I'll go over next week and see what I can get - thank you for all the responses it is very much appreciated!

I have bought things in Holland and Barrett in Ledra Street, but also if you are in the Catalkoy area the chemist by Mardos stocks a lot of stuff too.

Yes and the chemist will order anything for you it usually arrives in a couple of days.They have loads of supplements.

I've noticed that more and more Pharmacies are starting to stock health supplements, but by heaven they are expensive, in my case 4 times the UK price for a small bottle of special cough medicine earlier this year. Yes there is a H & B just as you walk through the border but it used to be a lot more expensive that H & B in the UK. However with things as they are the other side these days, they may be doing "special deals" just to get people through the door. Good luck, let us know how you get on.

They are more expensive as everything is imported so attract duty and customs tax.Also they dont bulk buy like uk chemists.Not a fair comparison really. When I moved here you couldnt get anything much at all.
