Has anyone used their online shopping service recently?

I haven't bought anything from them for a while, but i've just been to have a look at their online shop and it now appears that you can't buy everything online that you once could.

What do they offer online that you cannot get from a local organic supplier for a fraction of the cost?

AA Gill has the measure of Daylesford for me:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/fo...

"Daylesford could, quite possibly, single-handedly kill off the reeling organic alternative food movement. It is so plainly exploiting organics as fashion, as a chic excuse, an edible accessory, at prices that are laughable, or murderous. It makes bespoke, snobbish food available only to the spoilt and style-obsessed. Everything Daylesford stands for is indefensibly hideous and boorishly stupid. It claims to care passionately for craftsmanship, husbandry, heritage and handmade tradition, but turns all of these things into a casual, disposable ennui of dross."
