Get a free box of food! - Page 13

It's the convenience that interested me initially. I frequently don't bother stopping for lunch because I don't have time to go get anything and I'm hopeless at preparing stuff in advance.

I'm less likely to have these delivered on days when I am in the office because then I'll be even less inclined than I am not to get away from my desk or indeed the office for a while.

Yep, the fact healthy food drops into my hallway means I'm going to eat it and not think "oh I'll grab some berries and nuts next time I'm in the shop" because I never do.

I didn't think I'd like dried cranberries and set them to 'bin', then changed my mind and put them back to 'try'. Glad I did.

I love dried cranberries. I've just finished a packet at work actually

The only things I've binned are the chilli/hot stuff.

They're very keen on the freebies at the moment. After our exchange of emails regarding specific ingredients they've given me another free box!

Hmm. I seem to have a variation on the 'Ingredients I don't like' problem. If they add new mixes containing something you don't like, how do you prevent it being sent?

Looks like my Tuesday box might fall foul of this little problem but I'll not bin anything just yet.

I wonder how my grapes are doing, sitting in a depo somewhere

I told them and they refunded me 1.50. I then said I couldn't really keep the order going if it was likely to happen often, as there's really no point in ordering then having to go and buy lunch anyway. They haven't responded to that as yet and that was about 3pm yesterday.

Seems to take them a few hours to reply so you'll probably get a reply Tuesday. Refunding half the price seems fair as half the box is fresh.

apart from the fact I'm not in now for 9 days, it's not really the point to be honest. As of 12:00 today it still hadn't arrived.

They failed to deliver on the day I paid for. I wasn't able to 'graze' at all and it cost me more money to go out and buy food. That's the point. It's a 50% failure rate really, for me.
