You'd wonder why toilet roll would have a best before date...

Would parcel motel work for delivery?

Some of the boxes they were packing in the tv show last night that featured them looked a bit too big for parcel motel, depends on what you order I suppose

They have many exemptions. But I think food with a BB date will be ok, as it is inherently "not preishable"

At first I thought it was no food, but someone pointed out it meant "foodstuffs -needing refrigeration".

Glass is listed but sounds like they are worried about panes of glass rather than food jars.

My last 2 human corpses made it throught so they are not that strict

Maybe it's easier to poke your finger through it accidently after the best before date.

£15 delivery to ireland for 25kg parcel
That's reasonable, no point using parcel motel as it would be oversize

moodrater

Not seeing anything that would justify the postage, everything i looked at is the same price or cheaper in my local supersavers / eurogiant.

As above, nothing there is cheap in the first place, when you add sterling and delivery it's useless.

NATLOR

Amazon do a similar thing through their warehouse deal section.
Wouldn't be the selection there is here but lots of short dated items heavily discounted.

If you bought 25KG of food passed its use by date, how long before you would actually eat it yourself?

all depends what you buy they have pet food ect.
i only said about the delivery being 25 kg to Ireland to save anyone using parcel motel
I wouldn't buy anything myself from them, i prefer hunting for the yellow stickers in the supermarkets, can pick up some great bargains, especially in tesco at about 7pm,i picked up a huge rib roast for a fiver, display until dateis a great way of getting a bargain.
