Question about online shops?

Ok i normally go in person to buy my groceries and our household drinks alot of coke, is it possible for me to have a online shop where i order majority in fizzy drinks. :o i dont have a car so every other day i have to buy a couple of bottles aswel as the normal food shop. its such a hassle to lug all this about on the bus. any opinions?

    Opinion ? Drink less of the stuff lol ;)
    Seriously I cannot see why you cannot order exactly what you want, i.e. fizzy juice.

    I know some supermarkets have a limit on the amount of bottled water you can buy, due to van space but haven't seen anything about fizzy pop

    ive never ordered more than 16 in one go.........tesco, sainsbury's and adsa.

    their value 19p 2 litre bottles,

    never tried to order more.

    i did notice asda had restricted the number of their value 12 pack toilet rolls....... to 2 packs only though!

    i just ordered extra of the 4 packs to compensate!

    I noticed the same thing with the toilet rolls. I usually buy 5/6 packs on my monthly online shop from Tesco

    I shopped for Sainsburys to you and we only have a limit on bottled water.
  • I once had well over a hundred cans of Coca Cola delivered by Asda (it was a while ago and the'd cocked up big time with the pricing, worked out at approx 4p per can!) and that was delivered no problem (actually, the driver was moaning that he'd got a truck load of the cans to deliver but he was having a laugh about it).

    I can't remember where the thing about the water bottles was. But with the toilet rolls it just said 'you have entered the maximum quantity' when putting items in the basket.
