Why is it things get taken out of your basket when you've put them in?
I have never managed to get any bakin boys and then i just got a box in my basket to find that when i check out they've gone. This has happened before is it only me? Not worth me ordering now though as only a small order.

It looks like they have gone out of stock while you were filling the rest of your basket. I would encourage you to keep checking this thread and the site for when there is new stuff there- the bakin boys will return, and there is usually a few days before they disappear. Also, something heavy but goo may appear and make your order wotrthwhile. It will be worth it in the end...

I placed an order on Monday evening and due to ordering lots of drinks, I decided to opt for the Alternative Courier.

I received my delivery yesterday. Quite a few substitutions. No Chaos pretzels, no Lizzie Shimmer make up and instead of the Fruit Sky Candy there was Mint instead.

Everything was well packed. The boxes used to hold the drinks in was really strong. My Remia mayonnaise had leaked just a small amount but I'm fine with that as I intend on using that straightaway as I cannot get to Holland often enough to stock up!

This is my 5th order with AF and I'm exceptionally pleased.

Somebody mentioned who the Alternative Courier is. I'm not sure if its the same with every area. The one who delivered to me was Express Dispatch. I didn't get a dispatched email, however did receive a call from the driver informing me he was on his way.

OMG! So, after finally waiting and holding off until AF had calmed down I placed an order on Wed 25 March. not a huge one mind, as I was interested to see quality/packing etc.

Had a tap at the back door 5 mins ago and there was my order!!! Yippee!! All there, no subs, no damage and I am extremely delighted (that was quick - and I stay up in Glasgow). I'll definitely be placing a larger order in the next week. Among other things got the Fruitabu snacks which are great value at 20 for a 1 pound.

All tho, on my google tracker thing it still says it hasn't been despatched! LOL

Well done AF. and thank you for the 25 pound off vouchers for naked wine - gonna go and check out their website now.

Have followed AF for some time but haven't ordered until this week. Thought I would place a small order now that the backlog seems to have settled down. Placed the order on Wednesday and got it delivered this morning. All well packaged and everything there.

I'm well impressed with their service now, will definately be ordering again. I stocked up on the Seeds of Change organic Tomato & Basil sauce which worked out at 50p each instead of the approx £2.00 in the supermarkets. Well worth it just for that.
