For those that can't get delivery slots.

again assuming families come in two or four people only.

They can't cater for everyone.

ProfessorHasturLaVista · 23/03/2020 16:55

Thank you, Op, I’ve passed the link to some self isolating relatives who couldn’t get a full delivery slot.

beresh · 23/03/2020 16:56

Thank you so much for sharing this link. My elderly relative is excited to see what comes in the box!

SimplySteveRedux · 23/03/2020 16:56

I've not RTFT, apologies, @SchadenfreudePersonified my DD says that Tails are still delivering.

TheSpottedZebra · 23/03/2020 16:57

The boxes are put together centrally -not picked from the stores -and are delivered via DPD courier, hence the £5 delivery cost and separate ordering system.

HollowTalk · 23/03/2020 16:57

No toilet rolls or soap in there, though?

JusgeRinderIsNotaJudge · 23/03/2020 16:58

So this is my fridge right now as a nurse in icu on the front line. I can't go out and buy things and when I do it's empty so I've just ordered one and hopefully it will keep us!

Great idea, though they are expensive - I could do a weekly shop at Lidl for that.

Fab. Thanks, I was struggling to work out how to get some basics to my parents, who are self isolating, no supermarket delivery slots for weeks! This will help out a lot.

Box ordered for delivery Thursday!

PhoebeFriends · 23/03/2020 17:04

Thank you so much OP, ordered one for my parents to be delivered Friday. It’s a big weight off my mind!

Marieo · 23/03/2020 17:05

@JusgeRinderIsNotaJudge shops locally are apparently starting to return to 'normal' (still too busy at the moment when we should be home but better), so fingers crossed you will find it easier soon to get what you need. There are a lot of local shops and businesses doing deliveries too, do you have anything nearby?

DamnYouAutoCarrot · 23/03/2020 17:12

@goodwinter I'm glad you figured it out and got one :)

@SchadenfreudePersonified please be careful going out. How are you not on the vulnerable persons list?!

@JusgeRinderIsNotaJudge whereabouts, are you? I'd be happy to drop bits off. Thank you for all you are doing.

I hope the shops go back to normal soon and I'm so glad so many of you and your families benefited from this. We'll done Morrisons :)

@DramaAlpaca

Well they easily could if I was allowed to purchase enough for my family.

TeaLibrary · 23/03/2020 17:19

Brilliant thank you OP I've ordered one for friday this week.

MillicentMartha · 23/03/2020 17:19

Thank you OP. They remind me of the veggie boxes from the likes of Riverside, you just get what’s in season from them.

JusgeRinderIsNotaJudge · 23/03/2020 17:20

I'm near Manchester. I've ordered one of those boxes now :). I've fed the husband and I'm hoping my lovely colleague is bringing food in tonight as we've been taking it in turns

LoveFameTragedy · 23/03/2020 17:22

That is wonderful. I wish they delivered near MIL.

Comefromaway · 23/03/2020 17:22

Thank you so much. I’ve just ordered one for the in laws.

DramaAlpaca · 23/03/2020 17:23

@MyDcAreMarvel I don't think it was me you meant to tag there Confused All I did was thank the OP!

PerkingFaintly · 23/03/2020 17:27

Ohh that's clever. Thank you for telling us about those.

Not the sort of shopping we're used to in the modern UK, but it will keep people alive and even moderately healthy.

Paperdollss · 23/03/2020 17:27

Marking place to see how they are. Doesn’t look an awful lot in the pic but hopefully a bit more, ideal for if people are self isolating

Comefromaway · 23/03/2020 17:27

They deliver these anywhere LoveFame

HyacynthBucket · 23/03/2020 17:27

Thank you OP. Having having tried everywhere else, have just succeeded in ordering a box for the end of the week. The two of us are self isolating as have just come back from Spain. Usually we are quite well stocked, but food was looking a bit sparse.
