Completely OT. Grocery delivery services

Hugh - Was Invisible · 2011-11-29T16:40:27+00:00

Apologies for posting this here but no idea where else to ask.Ageing Mum lives on her own in a warden controlled retirement flat which has no facilities for mobility scooters. She can cook for herself but is not sufficiently mobile to do get to any shops.My sister and I both live at some distance and cannot be guaranteed for shopping all the year round.Does anyone know of any services that will deliver relatively small amounts? Delivery charge would not be a problem.Probably better to be an internet service that I or my sister could input. Mum is not very good at describing packet or can sizes over the phone!She is interested in real food rather than the chilled or frozen pre-prepared meals that are available from those catering for the elderly etc.Any ideas very much appreciated.

THey used to do that here, now they take it back to the sorting office, they have at least extended their opening hours, so if you arrive home to see the non-delivery card you have got time to go and collect it the same evening, despite the card saying you're supposed to wait at least

24 hours before collection.

But they won't sign for a parcel.
