Over 7000 Km's from our home Ruffles base, our next country takes us
across the globe! We have been so fortunate to be able to offer international
shipping, and for us this means packages are going to places in the world we
have never been! This is one way to start that wanderlust bucket list.
This trip we will be visiting The United Kindgom, also known as the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The United Kingdom is
surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, North Sea, English Channel and the Irish Sea.
The United Kingdom is the only country in the world with four national football
teams. Traditionally here in Canada and the USA we know and call this sport
"Soccer". United Kingdom is
known for many of it's cities with one of the most visited known as London. You
might know London for it's red double decker buses, Royal Quarters of the
Queen, and tower bridge, many of which have been featured in some of America's
most watched films. You might even recall a childhood favourite "Harry
Potter" all of which was inspired, written and filmed within the
personality of London's streets.
Our shipments have traveled all across the United Kingdom from London to
Glascow and over to Ireland! Our most traveled Great Britian destinations have
been: London, Manchester, Glascow, Woodbridge, Aycliffe, and Bexhill - on - sea.
Where in the World Has Ruffles Been?
- Ireland
This European country is 6,610 KM's away from our Ruffles headquarters.
Known for being lucky, and you just can't help to think of lucky charms. Do you know what country we are visiting
next?
Much like Lucky Charms this beautiful country
boasts the most gorgeous of green landscapes and rainbows for miles - it's a
common occurrence with more rain than shine. Its true that Ireland holds some
of the most beautiful landscapes around especially along the West Coast. The
Cliffs of Moher are situated just outside of Burren in County Clare. Over 120
Meters high above sea level they rise to 214 meters tall at the highest point.
You won't find any wild snakes in Ireland, but wild
fairies you may! Another Ireland
favorite is the original build of the Titanic made in Belfast, Ireland.
Our most shipped destinations around Ireland are
Dongeal, Ardee and Kilkenny!
But should you happen to be passing through the
Moneygal on the M7, be sure to stop into the Barack Obama Plaza - if we have
learned one thing the Irish love to name a gas station or bar after their
favorite visiting famous individuals!
(We know of 3, do you know them too?)
