Just got my 3rd order (placed late on Saturday night - so excellent turnaround now) On first look seemed to be pest packaged yet, but there was a surprise at the bottom! looked like packets of couscous had been bent to act as packaging, and as a result ripped - couscous everywhere. Also a couple of fruit pots were damaged (sideways and at the bottom) have emailed approved food to let them know as I think the problems wereat their end.

Otherwise excellent though, even a cheery DHL driver!

Refund sent through within 20 minutes - excellent customer service (just wish they could come round and help me find somewhere to put it all!)

When I say last order I mean the last order I have outstanding I will be placing lots more orders in the future and hopefully visiting again whenever I get the chance lol.
I have always got what I ordered or been refunded if things have been out of stock which is fine by me.
I cannot find any fault with AF, the staff or the products I have only ever received great customer service and value from them. :T

The turnaround time now is brilliant, the bakin boys are as nice as I remember

I got some of the large curry and arribiata sauces, can anyone tell me if it's ok to freeze them? Split them first obviously!

I used some of the arabiata sauce yesterday, it was lovely, and put two portions in the freezer in plastic containers. It says in small writing somewhere on the container that it's ok to freeze.

I intend to do the same with the curry sauce when I open it.

I used some of the arabiata sauce for a huge lasagne yesterday and a couple of large home made pizzas tonight.

DD loves the flapjacks and have loads of chicken tonight sauce in sachets as well.

Might order some more flapjacks and cereal bars for packed lunches as well as some muesli for DH.

nooooooooo its not fair - my delivery arrived today and my kind neighbour has taken it in, only problem is he works shifts and is now at work I am not sure when he will be back at home. I need my bakin boys cakes and i need them now :rotfl:

Update: My neighbour has just delivered the box, yay! There is now food everywhere and i have no idea where i am going to store it. Bakin boys here i come !!!!

Thanks for the ideas with the arabiata, I wouldn't have thought to use it for spag bol or lasagne, I normally just use it for general pasta dishes, will give them a go this week.

There is loads more stuff on there today, tempted to order again but I have so much stuff here I am running out of places to store it. I'm also very proud of myself, I only had 1 cup cake today, looks like they may last more than a day or two on this occasion! :eek:
