Title: couriers for lamb boxes
Post by: Blacksheep on October 10, 2014, 06:34:08 pm

hi wondered if anyone can help with regard to which couriers will deliver lamb meat boxes on an overnight/24 hour delivery service please?  Ones that I have looked into say that they will not courier food. Thank you

I would have a look in the Pig section on here, I am sure Happy Hippy gave information about this a couple of weeks ago, but I don't think she would see your question in here because I don't think she has sheep.

I don't suppose a courier would discriminate between pork and lamb!

We have successfully couriered pork boxes overnight with APC - give them a go  :thumbsup:

Yup, APC for meat delivery  :thumbsup: (just avoid having it delivered on a Saturday - it's way more expensive  ;))

Many thanks for replies, have checked out the pigs section too.  Will give the local depot a ring tomorrow to get a price - notice that they don't provide any cover for loss to perishables though so you are sending at your own risk - at least it is an acceptable item to send with them though.
