Shopping On Amazon by Snowball6
Does anyone know of a way to shop with Amazon for BG?
@JimJ After Ekont announced they were no longer delivering to the villages, on my next amazon.de order I edited my address & put my preferred Ekont office in brackets after my actual address & it still travelled to another town and landed in ... Read More
Ready for "The Storm"? by JimJ
The forecast for tomorrow/Friday is bad weather as Storm Adam hits the West of the country, possibly reaching as far East as VT. Best not to leave your bloomers on the line....😎
@JimJ Interesting, I've never seen these before! Read More

@janemulberry Good luck Jane! 🤞 I've just discovered our latest order is coming via Österreichische Post, which is better for me as it usually arrives at the house or our village post office. Read More

@JimJ Same... Especially with FAN courier who then hand over to Ekont. Delivery attempted, recipient not available or something, will attempt a second delivery, when of course, we were waiting in anticipation of said delivery! It's a standing joke ... Read More

@mickg Yes, this happened to us also. We were notified that Ekont no longer deliver to villages, but why the items from Amazon.de ended up in an Ekont office further away than my local office is a mystery. I then had requested delivery to my local ... Read More

UK Shipments by JimJ
If anyone is using the various UK-BG-UK shipping companies (GGBG/Gabiel etc), you might like to know that the tariffs instituted primarily against incoming Chinese goods are now impacting shipments from/to the UK. GGBG are ceasing shipments from the ...
@JimJ Have you tried making your own? I've been doing that since I arrived here & it's delicious 😋. Read More
A FB Post This Morning by JimJ
Just to remind all pet-lovers in the group to NEVER let your guard down. Yet again, in our supposedly upmarket and genteel suburb of Sofia, someone decided that one of my neighbours shouldn't have a pet and threw poisoned food into his garden..his ...
@JimJ What a truly despicable act, it's beyond disgusting & this type of behaviour has me raging 😡, how dare they do this! What a shame that the perpetrators weren't caught on somebody's surveillance camera. Read More
Having Electric meter moved by Jules999
HiHas anybody ever had their electric meter moved from within their garden area to a post outside their house? And if so what was the cost incurred please? It's really inconvenient having it within the property / garden area, not only if you own ...
@janemulberry There's a mix, some are outside, some are on the exterior of the house and our current neighbour has hers situated inside the house! Read More

@JimJ I don't have a camera / alarm system here, have never felt the need in our village. Also I'd have friends going daily to the property if we were away & the neighbours are always about. Read More

Rental nightmares in Bulgaria by Cheryl
Hello everyone, Finding a place to live in Bulgaria can be exciting, but it doesn’t always go as planned. From misleading listings and apartments that look nothing like the photos to strange landlords, hidden rules, unexpected roommates, or ...
@SimCityAT Tell me about it🙈 we have some pretty awful ones in the UK at the moment, but I blame the last letting agents for that - instructed new agents who align more with our expectations & we are working "together" to reach a ... Read More
