HELP, the only thing that dd2 has asked for is not available anywhere in UK

[MrsMorgan]

It's this

I have googled for ages but cannot find any websites in the uk that sell it.

[iheartdusty]

it's a very nice dog, but there are thousands of soft toys and toy dogs available - would she be happy with a different one? How old is she?

[WouldYouCouldYouWithaGoat]

i think you should be glad it is not available.

[cherrymonster]

amazon de, i believe delivers to the uk, and has 1 in stock here

[MrsMorgan]

She is 10 but is obssessed with dogs, particularly the minature schnauzer. She wants a real one but we can't at the moment.

[MrsMorgan]

Thanks cherry but that link goes to the out of stock on on uk amazon. I looked on the german site but can't find it on there.

[cherrymonster]

sorry, wrong link. try here

[pigleychez]

Not exactly the same but would any of these cut the mustard ??

www.pedigreecharm.co.uk/acatalog/Miniature-Schnauzer-Puppy-Dog-for-Sale-in-UK-Floppy.html

or other Schnauzer things

www.pedigreecharm.co.uk/acatalog/Schnauzer-Dog-Lover-Gifts.html

[MrsBadger]

can you not get it shipped from somewhere else?

does it have to be that exact one? smaller ones here

[MrsMorgan]

Thanks, I looked at the smaller ones but I don't think they are similar enough to the other one.

With the german amazon site, will I have to pay customs ??

[cherrymonster]

it doesnt look like it, but you do have to pay for postage. have just got to checkout with it just before actual payment, and price works out at £35.22 inc postage

[MrsMorgan]

Thanks cherry, will have another look at getting it from there then.

[SkipToMyLou]

It's the EU, surely customs won't be an issue?

[cherrymonster]

gimme a shout if you need any help, can read german pretty well. also, if you are registered on amazon uk, your email and password will work on the german one too.

[stealthsquiggle]

There is no issue with customs charges from amazon.de or amazon.fr - just expensive shipping charges.

[stealthsquiggle]

..and count yourself lucky. DS wants the giraffe from the same series, which is 145cm tall

[DaftApeth]

Harrods stock Melissa and Doug (I've seen the giraffe in their catalogue!).

Maybe call them and see if they have it. It's not on their website but maybe they could orer it.

Here.

They sell some M&D dogs here

Stealth- we have the giraffe, its huge, i picked him up at a boot-sale for 1 pound , dd loves him to bits.

[stealthsquiggle]

Marne - that's where DS saw them (he wants the penguin and the dalmation too, but most of all the giraffe) and I did check, but they don't have the one the OP wants (and the others can be found cheaper elsewhere)

You can just imagine the conversation which ended in an £80 giraffe heading for a car boot sale priced at £1, can't you

[Jacksmama]

I saw one on amazon.ca - do you want me to see how much with shipping - could have it shipped to me and send on to you if you like

[bubblejet]

Where abouts in the country are you? We have a little local toy shop nearby that stocks lots of m&d, actually just looked and they have a website www.littleshopofknowledge.co.uk. They are a lovely family run business I am sure they could try and get it for you if you give them a call.

[MrsMorgan]

In the end I decided to leave it for a bit incase one came up in the uk.

Went back on amazon just and it was back in stock .

Thanks for all the help.
