Approved Foods thread

[Deleted User]

I have always had good deliveries from DPD, dispatch bay has always been a bit hit and miss. I do not like the fact they do not tell you the day or the time of delivery and i used to get a text also, which was handy, rather than email. Hopefully dispatch bay can incorporate these, otherwise, big thumbs down from me.

Got a card through yesterday saying please phone us to arrange re-delivery as you weren't in, phoned them today and they said "oh it's out for delivery it'll be late afternoon". Doesn't seem very organised to me, I think my addiction to Approved Food may be short lived.

courier companies quite often do this

I did an order with Approved Food and received a huge box I could barely drag in the house. I was quite pleased with the stuff I got (in date and short dated). The only courier I know of that shoves a card through the door even though you're in is Yodel.

Everything I've bought has been good quality! I've made the mistake of buying to much of a good thing because it's a bargain, but find that if you stock up on things you use regularly (pasta/couscous/rice/flour & jarred sauces/vegetables) and stay away from the unusual (duck pate comes to mind) you end up with well stocked larder.

Having a well stocked larder makes meal planning a lot easier & results in lower per meal costs!

Beware the sweets and crisps though - we've found that there is very little self control in this house if we buy those in bulk so after the very first glut have avoided bulk buys on these items!!!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Same here everything i've had is good, except for the egg noodles i got in my very first order they were like rubber!!!
