Moritz has a new site I am sure he sent me mail, but I'm at the office right now.
I'll put it up here when I get home.

Not to mention any names here but his competitor is driving me insane. Either the food is so close to it's use by date I can't buy more than one of or they don't have it in stock despite being advertised on it's website.

please do mention names, I'd like to know so that I can avoid them :P

The only other delivery service I use is Fields. I hope it's not them. I've found them expensive but very good and certainly worth the extra..

Me too.
I especially like their duck. The mince is a bit dodgy in my opinion though, I prefer the mince from pines. I've only complained twice to fields, once about the meat, and once about some "potted herbs" that turned out to be seedlings. Both times they fixed it no questions asked.

and now they have figs!
oh happy days!

Nah it's not Fields ~ I tried to log onto their site the other day but it seemed to be experiencing some sort of fault so will have to try again later.

Unfortunately my gripe is with City Shop (online).
Does anyone know if you can do your own shopping in store and ask them to home deliver it?
I presume the online food is sourced from some sort of central warehouse.

I have just ordered from Fields for the first time. Delivery tomorrow evening
Lets see what it is like. The ordering process is very simple so far.

Re: Meat and Seafood home delivery

Postby meatpimp » Mon Mar 26, 2012 10:34 am

Please note the changes regarding the following quote:

[/quote]There's a company named P.R.I.M.E. Meats & Seafood that sell great meat and seafoods for home delivery (as well as restaurants). ....[/quote]

This company has changed to Baode Gourmet Home Delivery and has their delivery website at http://www.baodefood.com (infosh@baodefood.com) where you can get a free coupon calendar and VIP card (10% discount every order). It makes it much easier and more affordable than other home delivery sites. They are the original!

BTW, they also are the only home delivery website that supplies imported meat and seafood that has been through both Chinese customs AND 5-star hotel/restaurant requirements.

Worked perfectly for me. Are you using Safari (occasionally it has a glitch with Safari but only this one)? Try using any other operating system or just refresh your screen. Just went on 1 minute ago and had no problems.

You need a VPN. Didn't work for me, got the same as jzzzzzzz until I switched the VPN on.

It works for me on IE without a VPN but doesn't work on Chrome with or without a VPN.

I get this sometimes too. This is not a browser-specific error. Tell your web developer to look into it. Probably the SQL server is getting swamped so when it's not overwhelmed it works, when it is it gives the error.
