Thats a good point. I have some previous experience in importing goods to UK and selling on online platforms through fulfillment centers, also been VAT and EORI registered in UK. However despite those costs, i still believe that there is an opportunity here. If you could please check the link...

ok, i will keep that in mind . Thank you

Hi, i am not a business and the link was just indicative prices from Greek market at the moment. I don’t have nothing to sell at the time so nothing to advertise. My intention is just to see if there is an opportunity for me and forum members to benefit from price arbitrage between the two...

Good Morning fellow beekeepers, let me introduce myself again, I am Yiannis from Greece, and I am a professional beekeeper. The scope of this post is to inquire about the possibility of having beekeeping equipment exported from Greece to the UK as I have noticed that many products are...

Very interesting analysis. We have the highest number of colonies per beekeeper in Europe but one of the lowest production yields per hive.

Yes, facebook is one of the main advertisement channels. I am also thinking of participating in contests like Great Taste Awards or London Honey Awards. Regarding big chains, the quantity required is out of my reach.
