    When I received mine, I heard the van reversing and opened the door to see the package on the doorstep and the delivery driver taking his photo. I waited for him to do that, then thanked him and took my parcel. I never received any emails after that and I never saw the photo. I assume my parents didn't receive any emails or photos following the delivery, but I will ask them.

    I think if the driver sees you he probably doesn't bother sending a photo, my husband went out when the Morrisons meat box was left and thanked the driver, we didn't get a photo. Of course it maybe also depends on individual drivers and the area. We do have a note on the door to just ring the bell and leave the parcel there, 3-4 adults are at home most of the time anyway.

    In my case, I opened the door and spoke to the driver on both occasions, and still got an email confirming delivery and a photo. As you say, it must vary from region to region.

    Morrisons have been in touch with my parents, and offered the choice of a full refund or a new box. Can't say fairer than that. Still curious as to who appropriated the original box though.

    Morrisons has added a new Halal food box that looks genuinely useful for any cook at home curry lovers.

    They're doing a few different boxes now. I ordered a fish box yesterday which arrived today. It had 9 packs of 2 fillets, 3 packs of salmon, 2 of cod, 2 of smoked haddock, and 2 of sea bass. All wrapped in an insulated bag with 3 ice packs to keep it fresh. The packs had "3 for a tenner" stickers on them so would have cost £30 in store, so £35 including delivery isn't bad at all. https://www.morrisons.com/food-boxes/box/Fish-Box
    I'm just wondering now what to do with the insulation from this box and the food box I got a few weeks ago. It too good to throw away, looks like it pure wool, and as I'm busy crafting at the moment I'm hoping I can think of something to use it for. o:)

    Asda have now started doing Food Boxes. Only one type available at the moment ("Cupboard Filler") but it looks like more will be added.
  • Home Bargains has got one as well now for £23.99

    Not sure if wine gums are essential though  :D

    Morrisons have expanded their delivery box range and now include a Vegan option, you don't need to be near a Morrisons or need a delivery slot as a courier company delivers.
