As title says Lucky boxes are just back in stock. My first try of them after umpteen orders.

I've been keeping an eye on this thread for ages and the re-appearance of the Lucky Boxes was just the spur I needed to place my 1st order :j

Not that I have ever been "lucky" with the contents of ANY lucky bag/box that I have ever had........:o

Just been looking at the order I placed........think I managed to order only products with NIL nutritional content.

Hope the kitchen "naughty cupboard" is big enough to hold all the treats! :rotfl:

My parcel was due for delivery today and tracked as being out for delivery this morning.

Nothing arrived. Checked online and it says delivered and signed for by some unknown name this afternoon when I was def in the house.

Even if I didn't hear him knock and he had dropped it at a neighbours house there was no note saying where it had been delivered.

I only know the names of the people on either side of me, just say hellow to the others and know their first names, so I haven't got a clue if it is with one of those or in an entirely different location.

Sounds like it has been delivered to the wrong address. :mad:

Not impressed.

I've sent an email to the delivery comp and will see what they say before contacting AP.

I can't re order half of it as it is now longer in stock. :mad:

i know what you mean. my parcel was damaged in transit and returned to AP but it said it was delivered by DHL, although it was signed for by someone in the AP warehouse. no one bothered to contact me about it. after calling several times to a seemly un-manned phone number,the lady on the phone at AP, promised a refund that did not happen, so i sent in a paypal claim for the money.

you would think i learned my lesson eh, but i got tempted by the beef jerky and placed an order last week. so far no email to say its been dispatched.

before that, the party feet was missing from a previous order. i think they need more staff, and are kinda !!!!ing off alot of their current customers.

To be honest AP have been great in the past, I received damaged goods and they gave me a part refund. I think the problem with mine is at the courier end, either way I am not in a good mood as I was looking forward to all of the goodies in my parcel tonight.

The courier is not my favourite person at the moment - collected my order on the 4th and I am still waiting for it to be delivered, despite there being somebody (and two dogs who bark if anyone pulls up outside) in the house all day. Apparently they attempted delivery and left a card on the 5th - who knows where though, because it certainly wasn't here.

Are AF perhaps experiencing problems with rapid expansion?

From the Telegraph article:

"Cluderay is about to expand from his football-pitch sized warehouse outside Sheffield into a 12-depot network."

I have just had an email to tell me that the Worksop shop (where the original warehouse was) closes today. I had arranged to collect my order as usual from Worksop. They have offered me collection from the current warehouse, but this may be a one-off. Worth checking if you were planning a trip to collect an order.

Really tempted to go and order from AP, but still have lots of cous cous and pasta from last order, all still in box, nowhere to put it! So will have to clear a space under the stairs. Because there is really only me eating it I have to be careful about what I buy. May be eating forever.

Bought a load of soya mince last time, use it to add to normal mince to bulk it out, otherwise the 'cardboard' flavour is a bit overpowering.

They've got rice for 99p a kg at the moment. Getting tempted.

They have just answered their phone!

The shop at Worksop is in fact already shut - just might save someone a wasted journey.

Oh no, I don't know that. My OH has to travel to Worksop with work and every now and again he collects an order for me. He is supposed to be collecting today.
