  • May I say a BIG THANKS to Dan and the team, I placed an rather large order on saturday and what they say is true on their site about working round the clock. Just had a refund recicpt from dan about a few things out of stock and to refund my second delivery charge. Not only that dhl picked up the parcel at 10.05pm tonight.

    So thanks dan and the team you are doing a smashing job and you all deserved a big drink from all us msers :beer:

    Thanks :T

    Well my first order arrived this morning - all looked good till i realised that they'd missed off the 2nd page of the order - 4 items - all cases of drinks & things that are heavy. I've emailed so will wait to hear from them. A bit disappointed from that respect as the rest of the stuff is great but really wanted the cases of drinks for the childrens packed lunches. (and they make up most of the weight :mad: )

    Yes, I agree there are clearly some issues that are probably a result of all the extra business.

    I received my first order today but 2 items were missing (they were big packs of items). One was marked as no stock but was not included in the refund I have been notified of and the other was just circled but was not enclosed in my parcel.

    These issues are understandable given the amount of increased business af have had to deal with and I am hopeful that my correct refund will be issued swiftly but I think it is an illustration that people really should heed the advice on the website to wait til next week until ordering.

    I am certainly not being critical of AF but i think they need time to catch up on orders and set themselves up to deal with all the extra business.

    its hard for a company to cope with such a surge in interest! give them time! at least Dan is honest and realistic rather than making false promises;)

    ORDER DELAYS


    We currently have a 7-day backlog of orders that are to be processed, due to the fact that so many orders have come in today.

    For those who have recently placed orders online, you should expect a delivery notice from our courier in the next few days.

    For those who plan to place an order with us we would like you to be aware of these delays for the time being. We strongly recommend that you place your order next week when we will have more items online.

    We would like to point out that the store is open daily for local customers who may want to pick up their orders.

    We ask for you to be patient over this period whilst we make necessary changes and work around the clock, literally, to ensure these orders are sent out to you ASAP.

    We again thank you all for your support, especially Martin Lewis and all the Money Saving Experts at https://www.moneysavingexpert.com

    Got my order last night. Thanks Dan.

    The only downside was DHL who practically forced the parcel onto my neighbours because we were out. It annoys me when they do that, how can then guarantee that person is going to give it back to me? Surely they should only deliver to the address it is marked for!
