I Phoned DPD, & was informed parcel is coming at 4.30 to 5.30 today by someone who couldn't fathom out the above either. The driver hasn't loaded his gun, he said :cool:

Yes that's right you get 6 pots for £1. I missed out as I had ordered them at 30p a pot but I did get a pot thrown in for free!! I can say I am really pleased with their service. Quick delivery and everything is packed very well.

ETA: This is what you are asking about?

Thanks, that's indeed the one though I probably won't order that specific one as we still have loads of noodles from AF.
I was just confused about the way they write it out (surely '6 x Super Noodles price £1.00' would be clearer than '6x£1.00 Super Noodles price £1.00'?)
Good to know you've had good service from them. MY AF orders have so far been pretty good and where there's been something amiss, they've put it right straight away, but different companies have different things listed so I might give Bigbrands a try once I have some cupboard space!

Chalkysoil, I think your parcel will next be spotted somewhere in Cornwall before going to Aberdeen and on to Liverpool. If I see it over here in the NorthEast I'll give it a shove in the right direction! ETA... about another 24 hours at current progress?

the focaccia bread didn't rise particularly well, which I strongly suspect is because it's five months past its Best Before and the yeast has been affected.

Just spoke to my Dad and apparently his bread mix has been rising beautifully, so it may just be my baking skills...

Just tried the clams thought they were bloody awful.

despite the weirdness of the Abergele redirection stuff, my parcel arrived today with my usual friendly driver

It was packed by Russ B. and it was a work of art. 4 perfectly packed parcels inside a giant box, no one could have done better and everything was immaculate.

True- I was eating it today and I had a flashback to being a baby...I put some in a casserole with leeks and pork. Maybe I could put it in plain yoghurt? Any other ideas?

In muffins.

i didnt even get a delivery email from them...which makes me wonder if they just forgot to pack it and used the "damaged parcel" excuse to make up for their incompetence.

Sorry you've had this negative experience. I can assure you that your suspicion is not correct. As for the refund, if you PM me with your order number I'll pass on the complaint or you could email your order number to [EMAIL="sales@approvedfood,co,uk"]sales@approvedfood,co,uk[/EMAIL] and Perry will sort it. Apologies for the inconvenience.
