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)

    • I see some possibly overloaded grandparents, with mobility issues, trying to help their overloaded daughter. They put some feelers out in anticipation of having to look after their grandson who, it seems, it extraordinarily smart and requires extra stimulation. A big ask all round. That they weren't yet aware of exact dates hardly warrants your complaints of time-wasting. 
    • The shops selling gifts, interior stuff and clothes all sell different gifts, interiors stuff and clothes. They don't all have identical items, which would be ridiculous. It's a  completely different situation. The coffee shops and restaurants mostly also have different vibes, different food etc and cater to different tastes and pockets. The two empanada places have virtually identical displays of identical looking empanadas. I don't think anyone has suggested this move is "malicious" - that would make it even worse. Cheeky, yes, given the proximity to the first shop. I agree this is good advertising, though most people in ED probably don't look at the ED Forum (I stand to be corrected). Re the "organic grocer", if it's the one on the same side as Chango, yes their snacks are very tasty.  Unfortunately we were short changed there on several occasions when calling in late at night, and were once asked  a ridiculous price for a few items (with no price tickets on the snacks) so we don't go there any more. Hopefully these were all genuine mistakes, and hopefully things have improved since their refurb.
    • Makes sense though… or do you not think so? Can’t book anything without dates!!
