For those in the UK Group - Pampered Chef
If you were to set up the registry here, you would have to have a US address to have the products sent to, and then arrange for them to be shipped separately to the UK. This means they would be subject to any taxes and customs charges applicable to someone who lives in the UK. Usually someone visiting here is allowed to bring back a certain amount of items on their visit for personal use. That would mean they would have to pack everything in their suitcases. Either way, whether sending or putting the items in your luggage, it would probably get expensive.
You could see if you can reach out to one of the UK representatives. I don't know if they have the Wedding Registry available in the UK. You might be able to speak with one of them about a referral bonus or something.
I am going to look into the custom issues. My family has an international company that my neice is a rep for. They have to send her samples all the time they should be able to tell me the best way to handle it. We will have everthing shipped to her mom.
Thanks Everyone!!
