Because you can collect them at your convenience instead of having to wait in for them.

Thats right,,


I take in parcels for my neighbours almost every week.. and they pick it up from me when they get home.


Some are quite big. Probably too big to leave at the Co-op. Where are they Left ???


Things I order on line (Very Rarely) I can Track on line as to when it will arrive.

The Joys of being retired..

Because many people work?


Because they don't want to pay an arm and a leg to have it delivered at the weekend or some other time when they are not working?


Because they don't want to take a day off to wait in for a parcel?


ETA: DulwichFox, not all companies use delivery services which enable you to track your parcels.


In some cases you only know a parcel will be delivered some time between 8 and 6, or even later.


That is massively inconvenient even if you aren't working.


And even if you can track a parcel, you often don't get details of the delivery time until the morning of the delivery, which again is pretty useless if you work.

It's often quicker to do click & collect too - can be available the next day vs a few days for home delivery.


Some places have a higher price threshold for free home delivery compared to free click & collect.


There is really no need to write off as 'bizarre' the fact that different people find different things convenient! :)

No... it's not going a small Waitrose. It's not going to be a Waitrose at all. Because the whole thing has been completely made up. Move along.

fishbiscuits stay our of this please, you know NOTHING about the intentions of Waitrose, whereas Natty and I have already been told. I know you?re trying to look important on the forum, but it?s a bit cringe to be frank with you.


Rah you might want to change it again, go and heck the planning portal. Bunch of know-it-all?s on this forum.

Is Natty even a real person? Seems like a bot to me.


Anyway, I tell you what... if you turn out to be right, I will buy you and Natty whatever you want in the East Dulwich branch of Bill's. And a humble pie + mash from Brexitspoons for myself.

Bill?s isn?t due to open until 2020, but I?ll stick to the deal. And yes I probably will order the fillet mignon, just so I can prove to you that being smart isn?t your best trait.


Shouldn?t you be in a fancy restaurant somewhere so people can look at you spending your money?

Don?t spoil the fun for fishbiscuits, Sue. Let them believe once again that they?re right. I?m looking forward to that nice big plate of humble pie being eaten up. I?m assuming you?ll only eat it if it?s organic, served on a chopping board, and people can watch you eating it through a window at the latest trendy eatery on LL, or maybe we could find somewhere a bit trendier for 2019?

      Peckham Rye Park Attack - August 22

      By se22cat · Posted

      This is horrible to hear about. We used to get daily Police patrols on foot & even regular patrols on horseback in the area. I know our local station had some bad eggs, but the officers I came across in the area back then were all a fantastic bunch. Sadly nowadays the Met's presence is non-existent, bar the weekly walk from the SNT. I hope something gets done, arrests made and the victim some genuine support and counselling.

      Crikey! This Doesn't Look Good For The Housing Secretary

      By Rockets · Posted

      Two wrongs don't make a right. Labour ran on a manifesto of "we aren't like them" and "we are different" and"you can trust us/we will restore faith in politics". They are doing nothing to convince anyone that any of those promises are being met - they are letting everyone down. u-turning on everything and are fast-tracking the doomsday scenario of a Reform government. Even the runway on the "it's all the Tories fault" is running out. I dislike politicians because they cannot be trusted and Rayner just highlighted that with ribbons on. She should have been so careful after the focus on the electoral roll issues she had with the house in Ashton-under-Lyne and then under a year later this comes up. Clearly the advice she took included a recommendation to take proper advice that she failed to do - that's just daft and the most galling thing is that she didn't just resign when this came up - she tried to spin out of it but must have known she was toast. Trust is fast being eroded. I desperately want Labour and Starmer to fix this because the alternative it too scary to think about but the way things are going they are fast-tracking Farage into No.10. Labour are letting us all down.
