The Sweet Service Award<\/strong> goes to Woolworths Dash, the delivery service offered by Woolworths. It is similar to Checkers\u2019 Sixty60 in promising delivery within an hour of placing the order. I placed two Dash orders in the past week, using the service for the first time, and all the products ordered were delivered, with no out-of-stocks. Ice cream ordered arrived frozen, not the case with a recent Babylonstoren ice cream delivery. The admin process of placing the order was super easy, a maximum of 30 items allowed. And the delivery took place within less than an hour of the order being placed. It will be my new Woolworths shopping method, another advantage I bring that it is delivered to my front door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Sour Service Award<\/strong> goes to TakeaLot, for the second week running. I placed a massive order recently, which took two weeks to be delivered. A garden fork ordered was wrapped in two sets of bubble wrap, a wasteful use of plastic as packaging and time to unwrap it. A Bosch manual lawnmower was sent in an IKEA-style box, with no indication on the App that it has to be assembled! The delivery persons are less friendly than I have experienced in the many years of using the delivery service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
