Online Delivery

Our delivery comes in crates to our front porch. The driver steps away while we pack goods into plastic curver boxes which we then take through to the kitchen. For a short while our delivery was coming in free plastic bags which was such a waste as the driver wouldn't take them back. Our plastic box system works really well.

Same as Grannygravy13

Waitrose rapid deliver everything in double brown paper sacks. I re-use and/or compost them. With other shops I have the bags and use them to pick up doogie doo in the garden.

EllanVannin, you should feel guilty! Burning plastic bags is terrible!

We met the driver at the gate and decanted everything into the wheelbarrow!

Of course, I realise that won't work for everyone!

Oh, we’ve just been leaving those big blue IKEA bags out and expecting the deliverer to unload into them. He always does.

I feel a bit guilty now. It didn’t even occur to me that I would be expected to do it myself?

Bags are useful anyway to use as bin liners, for garden rubbish, packing inside parcels boxes
I don’t have deliveries but if I did I couldn’t go through the exchanging at the doorstep technique

I always pay for my orders to be delivered in bags even if I need 6/7 bags it still only costs 40p and makes life so much easier than taking out of delivery tray and rebagging at the doorstep.

Driver leaves the crates just inside our front door and my DH carries them through to the kitchen where I unpack only takes 10 minutes.

Like VQ we have bags by the front door ready and waiting, Delivery driver puts crates on the step, then steps back, we take food out of crates into bags.

Our deliveries arrive in carrier bags which the driver puts just inside our front door. We then carry them downstairs to the kitchen. As from next week Ocado will be collecting used bags.
I’m not sure what the problem is. No I don’t sanitise my shopping as I don’t feel that this is necessary.
I’m not sure that burning plastic bags is at all environmentally sound. Can they not be reused?

I have everything bagged up in thin plastic bags---which I'd requested. They burn easily in a garden bin with other rubbish so I don't feel guilty. It only costs a few coppers more rather than have your groceries strewn on the floor.

I have bags at the door and just empty the baskets into them then take them to the kitchen myself. It makes life easier.
