Interesting, although recently they advertised delivery service, it was for non-food items only; they must be expanding which is good news.

I saw on the review on Liverpool Echo website the coffee was smashed and contents of coffee everywhere. Plus its very heavy so people who are ordering it for vulnerable family or friends need to know.

Very non essential and low in nutrition, which is what most of these essential boxes are

I have to agree, I was going to order one for my very elderly grandfather but it’s not essential items, not nutritious and far from healthy.

What would you suggest should be in it, considering it has to be long life, not fresh, and easy to pick and pack?

Is it much different from the government free boxes?

"Vulnerable" doesn't necessarily mean old, weak or feeble. I am considered vulnerable due to a suppressed immune system but I am not old or unable to handle a heavy box.

I was looking at a fb page for Hermes complaints and there have been a lot of complaints about the state these boxes arrive in or non arrival. Hermes are blaming poor packaging from Aldi but Hermes have such a bad reputation it's difficult to know who was at fault.

On balance, I think you can safely say it's Hermes.
