[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2243484, member: 41816"] I foresaw a time when home deliveries would come in useful (at that time I thought the biggest problem would be them ceasing to drive), and back in Feb, when I visited, I basically strong armed my very reluctant parents into setting up an account. They had quite a lot of reluctance! We must have got in just before the rush. Their account is linked to their Sainsbury’s points card, so I guess that gives the company their ages? Which puts them in the age-vulnerable group. Either way, the company has been sending emails explaining that they have been identified as in the vulnerable group and therefore have priority on the delivery slots. at the moment, Sainsbury’s seem to open up a limited number of slots each morning, for delivery the next day. We do the order on the phone, with me tapping on the computer. :) There are numerous things going out of stock and being substituted, but the deliveries are getting there... Do you know anyone who has an account set up and running who could place an order for you? Their account, your food list, delivered to your address, you pay them. also, have you tried local butchers, grocers, veg box delivery companies, meat delivery companies... Amazon are still delivering groceries too. [/QUOTE]
