Oh my gosh yay I found you all. I have been so sad without the DT I missed everyone :-( Where else to post my anecdotes such as the following:

Woolies massively messed up my order today. Received half of some other family’s order. I have all their dairy, including a bunch of kids stuff. They presumably are the ones with my week’s worth of dinner meats, among other things. I am now the owner of 6L of milk, 3 tubs of spreadable butter, a ton of kids yoghurt pouches, and much more. I am going to have to see if any of the mums at play group want any of it.

Woolies had been suspiciously good with my orders there for a while, absolutely zero issues the past several orders. I feel like I’m being punished for finally trusting them lol! Waiting to hear about a refund…

Egh... this is the one reason why I don't do home delivery of stuff. I feel like the stuff I actually need will never arrive, and so I'll just be stuck with chocolate (well now... I guess things can't be all that bad).

Also, yay for finding us! It's now quite the same and there's still a handful of regulars still wandering out in the wilderness somewhere, but for what it is, it's still a nice place to come and chill :)

Pretty much what it’s like! I’ve been relying on it since we had baby and only my partner can drive at the moment. But once I get my licence I am hopefully saying FU to the supermarkets altogether and shopping elsewhere as much as possible.

Welcome back to the party. There's a list of who'se been reached out to. I think I saw it in yesterdays thread.

Great that you’ve found your way over here! I was so pleased that the dt had reassembled itself over here - was feeling quite bereft thinking I had lost everyone after the reddit closure thing

Yes I was honestly quite upset! Checking the DT is part of my lil neurodivergent routine so realising it didn’t come back after the few days freaked me out.
