    As one of my hobbies is drinking gin and tonic i would like to ask if anyone knows where either of the types of gin in the photo can be bought ?
    My 2 preferred suppliers Sophia's and Century are both out of stock and my supplies are getting dangerously low.
    I know where to get Bombay and Tanqueray but i am not so keen on the taste of them and Gilbeys is poison to me. IMG_20210607_105151.jpg

    Wait...you can order alcohol from lazada? :o o:

    Ah, nevermind. P400 for Captain plus P534 for shipping. I can get that for P450 at 711.

    They need to fix this shipping expense issue. Something like Amazon Prime. If they get the shipping costs down and work on their return policy I would order almost everything from them. (Though that is already pretty much the case.)

    Thanks, went yesterday and got some.
    Never thought of trying there as the last time we went a some time ago they had wine for sale and the woman at the counter told me the few bottles of spirits they had behind the counter were only for making drinks for the restaurant customers.
    Thankfully things have changed.

    As with BDO, Paymaya's delivery statement doesn't meet reality. It was meant to be here June 4th .

    And I am sure its not helping anyone that the ATM in Valencia has been out of service for over a week.

    My hobby is once again under threat, sometime ago i posted regarding a lack of stock regarding my preferred brands of gin but that is not a problem now, what is a problem is the lack of Schweppes tonic water, everywhere that used to have it is out of stock, could it be due to COVID ? i ask because once covid raised it's head my suppliers of limes (an essential ingredient) were all out of stock until just recently, so i had to tough it out with lemons.
    I have enough reserves to last around a week then..........
