Supermarket Groceries to France?

    Hello, we're a charity based in SW France and used to be able to buy Tesco/Morrisons/Asda Supermarket non refrigerated shopping and have it delivered to us here in France. Normally we'd pay for groceries direct with the supermarket, have it delivered to the haulier who would then bring to us in France. With the advent of Brexit this has completely stopped. So I was wondering if there was a haulier in/near one of the ferry ports that could offer this service, we would order around 2000 euros worth each delivery (30-40 standard supermarket size stackable crates), usually twice a month. We're used to paying 22.5% of the cost of the shopping in transport charges. Thanks for reading.

    I'd start with a Supermarket, say one in Rosslare, like Supervalu:

    Murphy's Supervalu
    Rosslare Harbour
    Rosslare
    Co Wexford
    Ireland

    Phone: + 353 (0)53 9133107

    They might be able to consolidate the shopping with a shipper for you, onto a pallet.

    If not, the next most obvious thing to me is to try someone like Nolan Transport in Wexford http://www.nolantransport.com/


    I am curious though what groceries you import that you can't get in France.......... ??

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
