Get a free box of food! - Page 8

hhmmm. Bear in mind too it won't be chilled if it sits on your doormat all day, so if you have the fresh fruit option it might not fare too well. Can you butter eddie up (not literally!) to take delivery then go get it from him? Or put a colleague's name on it then they'll get the blame

I'm not too worried about the fruit if it's sealed. I have fruit cups in the cupboard that have never even heard of the fridge!

Really on the fence with this one, but I'm erring towards home delivery Sat/Tues/Thurs for eating on Mon/Weds/Fri. It all looks very delicious.

From reading their FAQs, it's water sealed, but not air sealed. Air sealing requires the fruit to be treated or placed in liquid - otherwise gases build up and speed up the 'ripening' process.

I'm in the same frame of mind - do I trust deliveries to Mr. Post person? It's a non-issue this week because I'm working from home, but my post doesn't turn up until gone 1PM.

I think fruit cups are different though, they're not strictly fresh fruit are they? If you buy the little trays from tesco, like the ones you get in these packs, they have to be kept refrigerated. I get fruit pots from Tesco/wherever and they don't need to be chilled. Not sure what the difference is, but the graze ones are definitely the fresher type. Still, don't think a few hours will make much difference

Get them delivered to work and give the post boy some work, they are hardly heavy and he;ll be delivering to a department near you anyway, or tell him you'll come and collect every day

Planning ahead. For anyone who is expecting a delivery next Tuesday...

Well mine never turned up for some reason. Checked everywhere, but it's definitely not at work. Will see what happens with tomorrow's delivery, but if that goes awol as well then I'll be cancelling. Sure it's not Graze's fault, just don't know where the box has gone!

Mark · 29-04-2009, 17:57

Did they confirm they'd sent it? (check the web site)

Briggykins · 29-04-2009, 18:08

Yup, sent them a late notice thing and they confirmed it'd been sent. They gave me £1.50, which I can't complain about seeing as a) it was free and b) it probably wasn't their fault anyway

I reckon the postman has caught wind of graze.com's system and is nomming on your box right now! Since the box isn't wrapped up and the lettering on it pretty much hints and the loveliness within
