Despatchboxes Profile

Despatchboxes.com is a web-based shopping site. It is for anyone who wants to send a gift direct to someone in the UK or to have quality goods delivered to you abroad from the UK shops.

Gloucestershire sisters Lorna Conway and Diana Petrie are sisters from a service family. They know from personal experience the joy of receiving a present from many thousands of miles away.

Between them they have over twenty years experience of bringing up babies and young children in such diverse places as Hong Kong, Southern Europe, the USA, Australia, and construction sites in Kenya. They have also travelled widely with their own children in Asia, the USA , Australia and Europe.

Living or working abroad can be an exciting and fascinating experience. We at Despatchboxes.com know from experience that sometimes it can mean living in an inhospitable environment, and being separated from loved ones and family for long periods of time.

Even in the most sophisticated environments abroad, you often miss particular items from home. If you have a young family sometimes you yearn for products you love or can trust completely.

We aim to provide a top quality service of the finest quality goods, beautifully gift packaged and sent to you, or on your behalf.

Perhaps you know someone serving abroad, and far from home who would appreciate a surprise parcel – perhaps our chocoholics gift?

Or you are an absent parent and want to send a gift home to your son or daughter – what about one of our great children's Christmas stockings filled with highest quality chocolates and novelties?

Your kids would love Dad to send a stocking home from “his ship” with his personal message – to be opened on Christmas morning.
