MandyMoo Posted 4 December , 2014 Share Posted 4 December , 2014 Does anybody know if they are going out in any particular order, ie areas of the country rather than order number? I only ask as mine was ordered on 5th August poppy order number 52***. when I look on order status on Yodel they have no parcel details. I received an email on 18th November telling me my Poppy was being picked. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pighills Posted 4 December , 2014 Share Posted 4 December , 2014 Don't worry Mandy, I haven't received mine yet and I ordered on 6th August, although it's very disheartening when everyone else seems to be getting theirs. Judy posted earlier in the week that she'd received a reply to an email enquiring about delivery. It was along the lines of whereabouts you live and how close you are to a depot was how quickly you'd receive your poppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pighills Posted 4 December , 2014 Share Posted 4 December , 2014 .... I really thought - this is it!!! Judy With every email that arrives and every knock on the door, that's what I think. It's a lot of high hopes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standard Bearer Posted 5 December , 2014 Share Posted 5 December , 2014 Ours arrived today in very good condition. Order number 396*** 8 September. We were out when the courier called but he left a contact number. Called him back when we got in and our poppy was delivered within 20 minutes. Excellent service from Yodel.

Steven Broomfield Posted 6 December , 2014 Share Posted 6 December , 2014 Mine hasn't arrived, but as I bought it (in mid-August) in the expectation it wouldn't arrive until the new year, and I expected it not to be a competition to see whose arrived soonest, I'm happy to wait. Let the excitement of the Festive Season abate first, I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indefatigable Posted 11 December , 2014 Share Posted 11 December , 2014 According to the BBC, Yodel appear to have stated that they are delaying the pick-up for delivery of retailers orders for 72 hours so that they can clear the backlog of deliveries that have arisen since "Black Friday" and "Manic Monday". No mention made of their delivering the Tower Poppies contract which presumably pre-dated both. regards Indefatigable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombadier Posted 12 December , 2014 Share Posted 12 December , 2014 Just had an email mail stating that 250000 poppies have been delivered, more than expected by now. Delivery will be slowed by Christmas rush but will pick up after the festivities. If it is a gift you can print a gift certificate. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anneca Posted 12 December , 2014 Share Posted 12 December , 2014 Nigel, I have just received the same email - will keep my fingers crossed for delivery before Christmas but as I wasn't expecting it to arrive until January/February am not disappointed.

Pighills Posted 12 December , 2014 Share Posted 12 December , 2014 I had that email too. I didn't realise it was a mail shot, I thought it was in response to an email I sent this afternoon (out of frustration) on the principle of (like Premium Bonds are said to work) enquiring where mine was, it would then actually arrive.

Kim. It probably wasn't a mail shot. I suspect we all (approx 500,000 of us) got the email because of your email! Keep up the good work!

redbarchetta Posted 12 December , 2014 Share Posted 12 December , 2014 And that is probably why the last line is "Please note the Contact Centre is unable to hasten deliveries" !! That was aimed very firmly at you, Kim!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul@bolton Posted 12 December , 2014 Share Posted 12 December , 2014 I'm just pleased I don't live anywhere near Harrogate. You know which postcode is going to get its poppies last, don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anneca Posted 13 December , 2014 Share Posted 13 December , 2014 After receiving the email yesterday saying delivery will be slowed by the Christmas rush I was amazed to receive mine today (sorry Kim) and am now setting to work trying to remove the rust from the 'stem'.

Anneca Posted 15 December , 2014 Share Posted 15 December , 2014 I am interested to know how members are displaying their poppy - or in Kim's case, how she will (eventually) display hers? Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
