The shop comes to you

Shop British food online for delivery across BC

British groceries can make the journey to BC without an international checkout. Choose imported British food and drinks from our online British shop, based in Halifax, and send them to a home or PO box in Vancouver, Victoria, Surrey, North Vancouver or Comox with no customs charges.

Bringing British Columbia a taste of home means stocking the most comprehensive range of the British groceries expats miss, without filler. People raised on these favourites pack the British Columbia baskets in Halifax, with UK brand versions at the heart of your selection. The coast-to-coast Canadian reviews give British Columbia a window into those shopping experiences.

Choose a starting point for your BC cupboard

Start with the meal you have in mind

Cup A Soup flavours on this BC shelf include Cream of Mushroom and Chicken & Leek. The biscuit choices are separate, so you can put lunch and a tea break into the same provincial basket.

A mainland, Island or valley selection

Vancouver and Surrey offer distinct city shelves. Vancouver Island and the Okanagan now have their own regional starting points as well; browse those pages for products supported by their local delivery evidence.

Use the recipient’s postal code

BC basket thresholds stay provincial, while the available courier service and estimate depend on the full address. Enter the person’s Island, mainland or valley destination rather than relying on the location where you place the order.
