New milk delivery service or dodgy con artist?

juniormint · September 2018

A middle aged, grey haired man came by today saying they are starting up a new milk delivery service. I of course told him all my contact information and the dates I am shortly going on holiday, in a big hurry with dinner burning. When I asked for the name of the service, he said 'Doorstep deliveries'. He didn't have any brochures or anything, but said he would call when we are back from our trip.

Later I realised this was quite stupid. However, is this possibly legit? Anyone else been approached by this man?

Been a customer since June, totally legit, so far so good!

I got a price list and agreed the frequency, and I have been dealing directly with the milk delivery guy since.

And this is the name of the company?

I am actually quite excited about milk delivery.

It is. Based in Enfield.

Enfield and North London Dairy, perhaps? Legit, maybe, but a little unconvincing in that they claim on their site to have "over 20 years’ experience in the local area", yet they service an area called "Barnett". We look a little far out for them, but perhaps they're expanding.

The milkman that serves our road is from Parker Dairies. He can also bring Red tractor meats and really nice artisan sourdough.

Well, they have delivered some complimentary milk and it has been of good quality! It's either legit or an amazing con. The odd thing is that we didn't explicitly agree the complimentary milk this week!

Howdy, Stranger!
