Grocery delivery

[chrisp_1927]

Found it a bit of a nightmare trying to book these, not been able to book deliveries with any supermarkets at all, bit of a ball ache during enforced isolation. Just managed to order a food box from morrisons for delivery on Saturday, looks like they still have availabilty in Cardiff. Thought I'd share in case anyone else is struggling to book a slot.

These stores are multi-million pound conglomerates, why don’t they get taxies to do deliveries ?????

Shirley they’d jump at it as their takings are down

Or anyone with a van

sure people would love to get out of the house ( whilst adopting safe social distancing ) for a few hours delivering boxes of food, just pay them mileage and the supermarket gives a donation to a food bank etc etc

Needs to be a refridgerated truck, they all bought 1000s more when this all started too.

So there are plenty of refridgerated trucks and food is plentiful so the shortage must be drivers.
Why not get a bunch of taxi drivers to do the deliveries, there must be thousands twiddling their thumbs

So you got a refrigerated truck, along with everyone else, to pick your shopping up.

Book, load, deliver !!!! They don’t have to do multiple deliveries

[Croesy Blue]

No but that’s the regulation for these. If they can’t do multiple journeys every trip will be a 2 hour round trip.

Im sure you know more about shopping deliveries than multi million pound coming Ocado

Why not get on the blower and give them some advice.

Don't you need a special license to drive trucks?

Depends on how big they are, I believe.

[Allez Allez Allez]

I have to self isolate for 14 days. We have hardly any food in because of the queues and panic buying. Tried online, but no delivery slots anywhere. What a shambles. And, to top it all off, it's only cos my daughter has a cough - no other symptoms.

I can see you’re a glass half empty type of person !!

These are hard times and in hard times you pull together and make things work.

I’m not saying for taxis to do multiple drops, but help with smaller drops to desperate recipients.


PS:———- You still supporting outsiders riding/driving to cafes ?????

Only asking, as you never replied !

No

[Des Parrot]

Local farm shops are all delivering around here, good quality scoff too. Meat, veg, fruit, dairy, bread.

[NYCBlue]

Do you have Amazon Fresh over there?

[valleys caveman]

Yes.

Class 1 also known as a cat C+E.
Class 2 also known as a cat C.
Class C1 licence will allow you to drive up to a 7.5 tonne truck.

Waitrose and Morrison doesn’t deliver straight from the stores,they have a depot in Avonmouth that pick and deliver

I didn’t support anyone driving to a cafe that was you!

Each supermarket have already given desperate people priority, it’s why healthy people can’t get a slot.

I was answering a question asked about trucks, not vans.

Liar

Don’t like the truth do you, liar .

But half the idiots think that the refrigerator delivery van are trucks

By the way I am a C+E driver

How does that work then - I've been on
Morrisons - fully booked 2 weeks
Asda - Fully booked 9 days
Tesco - Fully booked 3 weeks
Sainsbury's - fully booked.

I wonder how many people have to break their self-isolation just to get food?

[Croesy Blue]

Why are you being so aggressive?
