    Don't worry, Santa has a sleigh which is designed for use in snow, and mostly it goes through the sky anyway! :j

    I've ordered stuff from Amazom, the courier has had it since 1st Dec. The HDNL tracking number doesn't work and I'm slightly worried as it's for my sons birthday on Friday. Trying to get through to amazon now : fingers crossed. (Update Amazon say it'll be here tomorrow, I hope so, it's the fact that the tracking isn't working that's the most annoying as it means I have to stay in or risk missing it).

    I'm also waiting for a few other bits for Christmas but at least they have longer to get here : debenhams, IWOOT M&S.

    I've been waiting on an amazon delivery for over two weeks, according to when they say it was dispatched, is there an email or phone number to contact?

    What happens if he can't see Scotland through the snow. Do u think we could email Tesco and rest of the companies and point out they normally deliver everyday to Scotland , while Santa only does one and he can make it !
  • is this just for food orders or any off tesco.com website? i think its fair they have let people know, t
    it said on the scottish news at luchtime ,grocery orders were not affected ....but depends on area as our asda delivery was cancelled last week at short notice

    so i would say it affected all tesco .com orders

    I'm still waiting for a few things in Aberdeen one being a new telly, not really that bothered, would be nice if they were here for Christmas but there's nothing worth someone hurting themselves over.

    Certainly be one to remember if we're all gathered around a portable telly on Christmas Day :rotfl::rotfl:

  • I am waiting on M&S Hampers and another order all due from DHL. I haven't seen a dhl van on the road despite the clear roads. all other couriers are running fine, the only other slow coach seems to be parcelforce.

    So glad to have most of my shopping done, won't be doing any more orders online for time being.

    I haven't seen snow like it since the 70's, but it is a disgrace the way the country grinds to an absolute halt the way it does!

    I had a delivery delayed last week, I had asked for it to get delivered to my work in Glasgow, I live in North Ayrshire, when I checked the item was in a warehouse less than 10 miles from my home and I couldn't get it, not because of the weather but because I had opted to have it delivered to my work in Glasgow which was quite bad, where as here in NA it was fine. Still fine today but it seems the north of Scotland and West of Scotland are to bear the brunt of the snow this week(if the forecastors are right).
    Saying all of that, remember at this time of the year all the couriers - royal mail or private companies are up to their eyeballs in it at this time of the year so with having a backlog of 7 days worth of parcels or even more at least if people know they can't order more then they'll just get up off their rear ends and go and get it in a shop.(Although for those in more remote area's I do feel for you as there sometimes isn't that option)
    I hope all those waiting on orders get them soon and you all have a very Happy Christmas.
    Thanks to all the competition posters.
