We have a weekly organic veg box plus a few other bits and pieces delivered (organic eggs and milk) on a Monday morning. Went outside to bring it in and it wasn't there. Phoned the company - definitely delivered in the normal place so I can only assume that someone nicked it. The company have refunded me. I know it's a small thing and I am sure there will be those that laugh - not having your organic veg, how tragic - but I thought I would let others know, even though it's only a petty theft.

Edited to remove some details, though probably won't be having any more deliveries.

I had my riverford box stolen a few years ago, when I contacted them quite a few had been stolen that day. Seems the delivery chap was more than likely being followed.


We organised that he had a key to our side gate and never had the problem reoccur. If you haven't got a side gate maybe a locked box in the front garden? Not failsafe by any stretch of the imagination but makes it a lot more effort to steal veggies!!

We had a couple of boxes stolen over the years we were in Clapham, but it hasn't happened here yet - knock on wood! But the company should have some suggestions as to how to avoid it in the future - unless the delivery van is being followed, in which case, there's not much you can do.

I'll send you a PM of some of the things we had suggested to us.


Alternatively, don't know what company you are with, but Organic Delivery company offers evening deliveries (http://www.organicdeliverycompany.co.uk/shopfront/shopfront.php)

    • Hi, does anyone have their up to date number please?
    • I imagine Franco Manca's business dropped off quite a bit when Yard Sale opened (though isn't Yard Sale delivery only?) But in any case, both of those are chains.
    • Thanks. I'll call them shortly as I could get there without the car.  That's good of Sainsburys! We've done the apple pie and tart thing, an ongoing muesli thing and the coleslaw thing - just not sure what effect all the sugars are having on our digestive tracts.  If we were in Somerset and had a press, I'd consider it. Can't be that diffcult, can it?
    • One time Sainsbury's delivered 6 bags of apples instead of 6 single apples which I couldn't possibly get through. I phoned Pecan in Peckham to ask if they would accept them despite their website stating no fresh foods. I must have phoned at just the right time as they were happy to accept them. Sainsburys gave me a refund so the donation was courtesy of them. Or you could experiment with all kinds of apple recipes and write a blog about it
