"The 'Lincolnshire Pork Products' are of excellent quality"

Lakings' delivery 17 Jan 2025, Order No. 16334
I am a staunch Yellerbelly and have received couriered parcels of Lakings' 'Lincolnshire Pork Products' to enrich my desolate existence in Cambridgeshire on half a dozen occasions over the past few years, and have always been well pleased. I had cause to travel to Louth last autumn and was very impressed by the shop there. As a treat for my own birthday a week ago, I ordered a parcel for home delivery comprising my favourites, savoury haslet (2), large pork pie (2), stuffed chine and Lincolnshire sausages (1kg) along with a Horncastle plum loaf, pasties (2) and a block of Stilton cheese, all to share with my Scandinavian wife who is a long-time convert. Well insulated, temperature controlled ice-blister packaging, and delivery by their trusted provider was free as I had spent more than £50. It is claimed to bring fresh quality meat ordered online and delivered "to door-step the next day".
At checkout I left a note on my order where requested "Please leave in front porch". This was repeated on the box label "Info PLEASE LEAVE IN PORCH". At 07:48 on the delivery morning I received an SMS to say my Lakings parcel will be delivered between 10:00-11:00 and if not in I could leave options for my driver M****** at a link. I didn't, as I had already left options. Additionally, on the upper glass pane of the front door I have a clear notice, "Please leave Parcels here in the Front Porch … the door is not locked". Nothing had been delivered by 11:00 as I looked in the porch from inside, so I returned inside. 11:20 and still nothing, though we were at home with some lights on, so I opened the front door at the outside of the porch, and there was my box containing food products standing on the path outside! No-one had rung the bell, or bothered to place the box inside the porch – we were very fortunate it wasn't raining but what if it had been and we had had to go out! I didn't realise when booking that the phrase delivered "to door-step the next day" was what would happen, but why then ask for delivery instructions. I was not happy, but no damage was done in the 20+ minutes of the box being left outside, this time.
Apart from that bad experience, for which I will reduce the satisfaction from 5 to 4 stars (sorry), the products have been absolutely EXCELLENT and we have been in heaven eating them. My last encounter with your 'trusted provider' led to a paid-for next-day delivery being substituted by an erroneous 'sorry we missed you note' when we were sitting at home waiting for it. It took a further week to extract it and I thought 'never again'. I have 3 photographs of the Lakings' delivery.
