    Thanks OP & cooking-mamma I ordered the half price hamper, another £15 worth of stuff and got my free hamper. It should all arrive tomorrow, hopefully all in one piece.

    Be warned, Thorntons are using the infamous Yodel/Collect plus set up as couriers.

    My delivery guaranteed for today has not arrived. I spent 40 minutes trying to get through on the phone and listening to their rubbish music before I got a Thorntons CS lady. She told me she would check with the courier as I definitely should have had it today- and then I got cut off. Thorntons are now closed.

    I paid extra to get these guaranteed for today as I was planning to use some of the stuff as 'thank you ' presents on my trip round tomorrow to various freinds and fmaily- but it now looks like I will be hitting Tesco first thing for the usual boxes of Quality Street instead.

    Yodel deliver between 9am and 9pm! and they are terrible for just dumping your parcel wherever they like and slip a note through your door (I'm sure they don't even knock)

    My arrived today, I've had a few deliveries from Yodel without any problems. Maybe it's a regional thing.

    Me too - Alot of my orders have been delivered by Yodel and I have never had any problems. At least they leave parcels at a safe place and not in your bin with the 'while you were out' card wedged in the door on full view stating where the parcel is like RM do - they are too lazy to walk around to the front door and post the card through the letter box!
