Anyone know how long it stays fresh in the fridge.
Never had it before

A few days. Our milkman comes 3 times a week, so I don't need to keep milk longer than 2-3 days anyway.

I found that it went off well before its sell by date (and I wasn't leaving it sitting out by the frontdoor for longer than an hour tops). It was so unpredictable that I gave up the deliveries. Shame as I wanted to support local produce, but not when I ended up having to chuck 50% of it away.

Mine doesn't have sell by dates. Not planning on doing it long term as expensive but I have a free trial.

Same as skrull.

You can order a variety of food etc up to 9 pm the night before for a delivery the next day, if it's Milkandmore. I find it convenient.

I too found it went off quicker than shop bought cartons. I've tried at least 3 trials I eat the last few years and it never worked out. Unpredictable deliveries and milk that was going off quickly. Resorted to buying in store or nipping to local if we ran low.

I find it exactly the same as shop milk. Ours is in glass bottles and the use-by date is embossed on the foil lid. It's ok for a day or so after the use-by, if it lasts that long without being used!
