    did you read the first page of the website ?


    WE HAVE NOW SHUT DOWN THE BILLING SIDE OF THE WEB SITE SO WE CAN CLEAR ALL THE ORDERS BEFORE CHRISTMAS IN PLENTY OF TIME.

    You can still browse whats in stock and register for our email shots but you wont be billed for any orders.

    In other words, WE ARE NOT TAKING ORDERS AT THE MOMENT

    Sorry for the inconvenience

    Hello All,

    I have a query - and excuse me if I am being dumb :o
    I have just ordered my second round of food from Approved Food - what a fantastic website! All the products were such great quality I thought I would stock up on nibbles for Christmas.

    I just filled my basket - some of the new stuff added is really bargainous - 14 packets of Walkers Ready Salted for £1? Two 2l bottles of Diet Pepsi for £1? Gosh I sound like an advertisement! :p

    Anyway, I got to checkout, put my address in, and the postage address - put in code MSE1 and got the message - thanks for your order you will receive an email - but I didn't put in my card details? :confused: Is that because I will be contacted with my new total once the 5% is taken off? I didn't use the MSE code last time because I didn't realise there was one. I am sure I gave my card details straight away last time. I didn't log in (unless it recognised my details and used same card?)

    Sorry if I am stating the obvious or this has been spoken about elsewhere
    :o

    I think it is probably because the site is now shut for orders until after Christmas to catch up with the huge increase in traffic due to the site being talked about so much?

    Oh yeah what they said too! :p
  • Okay, I wasn't really querying the discount but more the lack of payment taking.

    I did read what displayed on-screen of the first page, but the bit in red (Quoted) did not visibly display on my screen (ie: I would have to scroll down for it and I went straight into the items section and did not see it)

    Oh well, thanks for the quick responses! I suppose I will not have my nibbles for Christmas after all.

    (Wow you respond fast - more replies when I was still typing! Excuse my lack of brain cells this evening, feeling a bit silly now!)

    Just to let you know that if you have received a Google Checkout receipt, then your order was placed before we closed the website and you should receive your goods before Xmas.
    If you have not got a Google Checkout receipt then your order has not been processed. I'll do my best to contact those who made a later order but can't promise.
    Merry Xmas to you all.

    I collected my order yesterday which was fine. There seems to be lots ready to add to the website for after christmas too.

    Warehouse is much smaller than I expected but the staff were lovely and really helpful. (dealt with a dark haired lady but didnt know her name)

    :D Thanks OP

    Just reviewed my order and realised that I have added 36 tins of soup instead of 6. No wonder it was heavy! :o Hope it's nice.

    Happy Christmas, Dan.

    Make sure you take a day or two off :) I'm sure the new year is going to be very busy for you.
