Overlooking the obvious
If you shop online for dairy products & groceries online already, you most likely use one of the big suppliers. Supermarkets and other grocery delivery services have been quick to develop over the last few years. Anything that replaces the weekly battle around the supermarket has got to be a good idea, but where is the service that can eradicate the need to 'nip' to the shops during what should be your lunch hour? Well, actually, it's probably just under your nose - and has been for a very long time indeed. Sometimes the old ones are the best and despite the changes to our shopping habits over the last sixty years, one traditional service remains; the Milkman.
More than Milk
Most people could be forgiven for overlooking the milkmen and women of Britain's streets and suburbs. You have to get up very early indeed to even notice them. Like our pets they have a long established habit of leaving food items on our doorsteps - but they only do milk, right? Wrong, or at least, not anymore! They also deliver a massive range of everyday essentials. From tea and coffee to veg boxes, eggs, cleaning products, chocolates - even milk!
Free delivery and friendly service
The services available have two distinct advantages over the newcomers to the field. When it comes to ordering dairy products & groceries online most of us would be put off making small daily orders because of the delivery charges. Supermarket and other online grocery providers usually have a minimum order amount before you reach the free delivery threshold. This is fine for the 'big shop', as you'll probably be able to reach the required amount in record time these days.
However, what your local milkman can offer is something quite unique - no delivery charge at all on any order. By working on established rounds the dairies offer free delivery as standard. You can order the smallest number of items - one for example - and still take advantage of the lack of delivery charge.
The next great feature is that milkmen are limited in their understanding when it comes to next day delivery. Limited because it's all they offer and all they've ever offered. Next day to them means very early in the morning indeed - and you can even amend your order late in the evening - up to nine pm. You'll probably find that this delivery service is second to none. You can book regular orders, for simple products like milk, and add items when you notice you've run out. The final delight of this service is that you'll soon get to know your milkman - which makes for an all-round friendlier more personal delivery service compared to the alternatives!
