Online Food Shop - no bags

[anonymous-user]

Really after peoples thoughts, had a delivery this afternoon and I end up on my hands and knees picking things out of the delivery box on my doorstep!

How do other people deal with this?

Please move if in the wrong section.

Even their drivers say its a royal PITA..

Takes twic as long to do the delivery

ocado deliver in bags and then take them back next shop. The boxes used are pretty dirty so not a fan of taking straight out.

We always used to order the bags, but now Tesco have banned them.

Just have to get the guy to come into the kitchen and empty the boxes there. Not ideal, but still better than spending an hour at the Supermarket!

Put the box on a table?

Not a huge amount of room to take in the big delivery boxes they use, I'm not a powerfully built company director with mansion to match.

You end up taking everything out and putting it on the floor before packing it away. Considering it is getting colder I don't really fancy leaving the front door open to let all the heat disappear.

I shut the door behind the delivery guy this morning when he came into the house - bloody freezing!

I take my bags to the shop and do my shopping there...

I've never had an online delivery.

My partner ordered click and collect once. What a waste of time! Sat in a queue of only about two cars for nearly twenty minutes. Then when it was my turn someone awkwardly held a box near my boot whilst I put everything in loose.

Keep a few big Bags for Life and empty the stuff from the boxes into them by the front door - then carry through at your leisure. Bit of an arse but it works for us.

I take the "bags for life" bags to the door then fill them up.......

On the flip side, we've not done a food shop in store for probably seven years now. It's made that bit of life very easy.

Just put it into bags that are kept neat the front door and then unload from them.

First world problems eh.

It's really not a hardship is it...

Thoughts and prayers.

Take boxes into kitchen. Identify what is in each box. Lift fridge box near fridge on work surface, unload on work surface next to fridge. Lift tins box on work surface near tin cupboard. unload box. Repeat for each box.

Really not that difficult?

Likewise. Adds around 8 seconds per crate, on average.

We started online food shopping a few months ago and I've never selected the bag option. The driver brings it in to the kitchen (more often than not I see the van and go out to help the driver in with the second box) and we unload it onto the counter top and then put it away.

Yes, considering the lives some of us will be remembering tomorrow, this hardly counts as even an inconvenience.

OP, forgive me if I don’t care what you do...........

Just wait until people start injuring their backs lifting heavy boxes and getting them into the kitchen to empty, it is so easy to hurt yourself lifting things.
