Question Aussie girl wanting KETO products!!

Hi there!

Im wanting to purchase some KETO products. They are not available in Australia.
I recently emailed their company and they informed me that a lot of people have had problems importing these goods into Australia, and it might be easier to get it from the UK?

Does anyone know if this is the case?

Dont want to order anything only to have it sent back..... along with my money!!

I just wish they would sell the stuff here.... they would make a fortune!!

I would appreciate any help or advise, or perhaps a link to KETO in the UK so i can ask them.

Cheers Cheley.

If you doa search using google.co.uk you'll find firms which sell low carb products in the UK. If it is illegal to import them into Austrailia, though you might find them being confiscated by the customs (and you wouldn't get your money back!)

What is it inthe KETO range you feel you must have? Many of the preprepare foods can be duplicated.

Smile Thanks.

Thanks RC Fletcher,

Thats exactly what the KETO site told me, that there was a risk of it being confiscated by customs. Bugger that!!

Theres nothing particular, it just seems so much more uncomplicated with the variety of products available both in the USA and UK. My argument is, why not here? This is the one thing i struggle with the most, having to make everything from scratch. I dont have the time or the patience.

Once again thanks for your info.
Cheers Cheley.

PS. The town you live in is the same name as the street I live in!

I found the following site which is good for low carb recipes:
www.carb-lite.au.com
It seems that the Australian sweet producors 'Darrell Lea' make a variety of low carb / sugar free sweets and other things.
Low carb syrups are available by mail from www.pineteacoffee.com.au
Whey Protein Isolate shakes from www.redbak.net
and so on.
You need to go to the Australia form and ask people there.
