    Is that for C&C as well as HD? C&C usually come from the nearest large store whereas HD come from a central hub (think mine might come from the same one as yours!)

    tl;dr 1,000 dishwasher tablets for £46.48 delivered (4.648p/tablet). Good quality. Other quantities available.

    After my supply of finish powerball (from some SADA/!!!!!! deal a long time ago - I forget) I needed to get some dishwasher tablets. I picked up a few bargains from farmfoods and !!!!!! but ran out again. Was happy with the "Which #2" dishwasher tablets from Aldi. After pricing up various options in poundstretcher and many other places and not bothering with a similar groupon deal (not many details) I decided to finally order a load from Germany that I'd seen on ebay a while ago (dieseifenblase-internethandel - was dieseifenblase previously). Previously I'd seen broken / damaged tablets but these weren't. They were cheaper on ebay than on their website.

    I was a bit reluctant because of the postage costs and not really knowing if what you get will be any good. Anyway, in case it helps anyone here, and indeed anyone googling I thought I'd share a large picture of what arrived and my opinion.

    I ordered "20 kg dishwasher tablets "12/1" wrapped in plastic 1000 tablets three-coloured". I paid £47.45 including postage. They're now £46.48.
    20 kg is a lot of tablets - about 1,000. I didn't count them :), nor weigh them. I just know it was a heavy box. Actually it was two boxes taped together. That was ideal because half went to my parents. The boxes were completely full and the tablets were not damaged.

    So, the per tablet price then is 4.648 p which puts them at the same kind of price, if not cheaper than the likes of B&M and poundland. The delivery was very quick - next day I think. You can buy 10kg or 30kg too.

    As for performance I haven't had any problems with these tablets. They seem to be doing a great job. I'm in a hardwater area.

    You wouldn't believe how hard it is to be a patient transport volunteer, believe me, I'm trying!

    I meant to reply to this yesterday. :o

    You are all worth your weight in gold. :A

    Do you know it never entered my head the transport from Poole to S'ton as it's quite a long way might have been a volunteer so sorry if I offended you pippo, I assumed it was some sort of official transport, it certainly wasn't a normal family car. Wrong either way whether paid or not for admin to book in transport for my mum before the working day actually started.

    On the other hand my mum had the most lovely volunteer that took her and a few others to the day hospice every Friday. He was always on time and used to carry her handbag out to the car. :A

    Crikey TS, I'm not offended, sorry if it came across that way. Just saying that I have been trying to sign up to do volunteer transporting, but they are full up round here. My friends OH does it and I think the people he takes must be well impressed when he turns up in his new Jag! He sometimes does trips over 100 miles too.

    You are right about the early booking though.
