Shopping in London is a vacation in itself for many holiday makers, and those that make their home in the big city enjoy its extensive supply of high quality shops scattered throughout its historic streets. Shopping here is a delight under-emphasized in the North American streets, as malls are replaced by street-side shops sprinkled down the high streets to the cobble-stoned alleyways.
As a fresh faced newcomer to the city, we shipped in our first product in a slightly awkward way. Instead of paying what we thought was 'too much' for door to door delivery, we opted to pick up the product at Heathrow's cargo area. This turned out, for someone taking the tube, to be quite a walk. Heathrow being as huge as it is has its cargo area located quite a walk away from the public transportation routes.

Luckily we found a bus back to the underground station, and made our way back with little other trouble. As well, thankfully pocket squares are indeed very small, enabling a reasonably large shipment to be carried by hand...

Look forward to stories of the endeavor to get the product into London's street-side shops coming soon.
