Best of Local
What is the quickest way to set up a Best of Local order?
Once you have selected a date for delivery the quickest way to make up your order is to use the category on the top bar such as 'ButcherBaker', 'Greengrocer' or 'Deli' and then click 'Add' on each product to put that type of product into your Best of Local box. You will see your order total next to the box image to the right go up as you add each product. Work your way through each category and then when you have done this scroll down the box fill area and amend the quantities.
You can either edit the quantity in the little free edit box or use the up/down arrows to vary the quantity. Please note that as the order has to update as you change each quantity or delete a product there is usually a slight delay as it calculates this so please don't click too rapidly as some changes may not go through. The free edit box is best for setting a number e.g. 6 than the up/down arrows which are better for fine tuning the quantity by one in either direction.
Then just select your type of delivery (one off or weekly), delivery option, ensure the terms and conditions remain ticked and hit "Check out" to finalise your order. You will then be able to see the order in your calendar view for the week of the order you have just finalised to show you all your orders for that week. You can also see upcoming orders in the "Current Orders" section on your My Account dashboard.
