Gosh, that would be wonderful. I’m also curious about how this would work with customs. For 3K pesos, perhaps m&s will escort the pkg through customs and deliver to your door?

Rice . That is the big question ................
We could probably write up an underwear order for the whole family and that would come to about 30000 pesos ; another few bits n pieces and we would be at 100k in no time - so 3k delivery is no problem
But customs duties?
I have sent a mail a few minutes ago to my mate in the Embassy to see if he knows anything.
Skipping right over the question of your family’s underwear, GlasgowJohn , I take your point. If the 3k pesos charge is a flat fee for an entire delivery, it’s a bargain. Be sure to throw in some tea and M&S cheeses, if allowed!
I've also found British food shops but haven't tried them yet.

Delivery comes in at GBP 7.00 per kilo......
Although I didn't know about M&S I was aware it was possible to receive packages from companies in the UK using FedEx or simiar. Living in BA helps if problems arise but out here in the sticks I wouldn't chance it.
The lad ordered a high quality Logitech mouse which he needs for video editing through Mercadolibre knowing it would be an international shipment and it took three months to arrive.
I was also surprised to find that it arrived at the door via FedEx.

Oh well we can forget about it then. Apart from food I rarely bought anything from M&S. I like to try clothes on before I buy anyway.

Delivery Expénsive?

As I hinted above , I was a big fan of their boxers before I left the UK and still bought them when I made trips home.
Trips home living in Spain were 3 or 4 a year
Living in Argentina, it's once every 3 or 4 years.

I've still got plenty of unused boxers...enough for a few more years. What I do miss most is sports socks. However I got some from La Anonima on a 2for1 offer a while ago. Not as good quality cotton as you get in the UK but they're okay. Could do with some new jammies.
I'm still using M&S jammies which I bought more than 20 years ago. Just beginning to fray a bit now though.

I'm the same weight now, less than 70 kilo, than I was when I were a lad. Makes the missus mad considering the amount of chocolate I eat. 
"How to keep trim eating Kit Kats", forthcoming non-fiction work from UK Man .
Other books in the series suggested by my missus "How to keep trim despite drinking loadsa beer" plus "How to keep trim while being a lazy arse".
