Just received a response from British Food Direct after I sent them one of my snotty letters - thought that might do it. Strangley, my parecl was damaged on the way to their shipping department as well - what a coincidence. They are going to pack another one withing the next 2 or 3 days. In other words, we are back to where we were on January 7th. They didn't contact me until I threatened to tell everyone on this Forum that they were a shambles, so I've decided not to tell you all now! I have now given them another chance to improve their processes and get the package to us pronto. They don't seem to have offered any compensation though, just their apologies, so no money saving there. I'll keep you up to date with the next installment. Cheers, starless
