Since the disaster of my last delivery i have placed two further orders and i'm pleased to say both arrived with hardly any probs. In one order 2 packets of sponge mix had burst open, but Perry has kindly refunded me immediately. Other than that, everything was well packed, though some boxes weren't taped up underneath so i had to juggle a few of the boxes when lifting them.

If anyone has ordered

CASE PRICE unidentified chick peas in water, its actually one HUGE can with no label on it, so I am hoping that it is chick peas not a substitution. With the celeriac! But for 49p a huge can.

Also, the unlabeled mixed bean soup has turned out to be mixed bean salad, again with no labal at all, but it is dated till 2013 and will use it long before the date, and for 19p each is perhaps a better deal for me than the soup.
Again not sure if these are wrong descriptions or subs,,,either way it's all good

There is an incredible selection of gourmet food on the site. Udon noodle kits, designer organic soaps, freeze dried thai banana, organic sesame oil, crackers with a french name...
From one extreme of catering packs to the contents of upmarket hampers- got to love AF.

Those organic soaps are French and usually retail at about 8 or 9 Euros so 59 pence is a fantastic bargain IF you like lavender and using organic is important to you. I've just received an order earlier this week but if I was going to put a new new one in I'd definitely order some.

I ordered some of those unlabelled "bean soups" as well but think I'm happier that they're salads instead. Much more practical and adaptable at this time of year.

really speedy delivery on the Lloyd sauces- 2 days- and the delhi nuts come in a lovely tin.They had taped round the sauce lids too- all these things are helping.

I've had exactly the same from them today too. I phoned but no answer so have emailed them - apparently my delivery is tomorrow, I am just waiting for the correct tracking number.

Ok; I'll do the same then, thanks WICAI With it being my first time, I wondered if I was looking in the wrong place

They just mailed - you will be able to track parcel on Home Delivery Network - they did tell me use DPD in text message but that didn't work. :mad:
