I didn't get a dispatch email when DHL delivered mine.:rolleyes::D

Not a problem for me as there's always someone in my house.

For anyone collecting there order, alot of it is much cheaper in the shop.

I was disappointed when i saw some of the items i had paid for online at half the price in the shop.

I understand they have more staff to pay in packing, but if you are collecting you should pay shop price. I had no boxes or packing materials.

At a rough guess i paid about £8 more.

It's only about 70 miles for me. My main thing is i was putting stuff in the boot that i paid upto double the price. if i was having it delivered, if knew the instore price it would not had been a problem as i have got the convenience of having it delivered.

Its 100 miles from me but my daughter lives in Sheffield- could combine a trip. Is it worth going though?

Hmmmmm, let me give this some thought, err, err, hmmm, err.....

YES!!!!!!

But empty the car first. There will be no room for luxuries like spare tyres, seats, sunglasses, passengers etc etc etc etc...

I've had 3 orders delivered already and 2 still pending but was intrigued to hear that things are cheaper in the shop itself. Not that I have any cupboard space left to put anything else.:rotfl:

Not all that is online is in the shop, and there is stuff in the shop thats not online.

Hey all!

Just a bit of advice from those who have been to the warehouse.

I am planning a trip to Manchester from Cornwall next month and have decided to detour to Approved foods.

I really want to know if it is going to be worth my while, as I will be doing quite a few extra miles as well as a stop over in a hotel, so going to be paying out in order to save money if that makes sense! lol

Just wanted definate confirmation that it's worth going before I book the stop over hotel and make the long journey!

Thanks!
