It is surely safer to have your shopping delivered than to go to the shops. In an effort to try and avoid going to the shops some villagers have recommended companies that will deliver to our doors to compliment the more obvious supermarket deliveries. Some on this list will take telephone orders, but would obviously prefer online ordering where possible.
