Why not try out our new delivery SMS service on your next order?

Couriers, eh?

You can wait around for that all important delivery all day for them, make sure you’re always within hearing-distance of the door, say no to watching the footie down the pub or even going out to the shops for bare essentials, but what about when the milk runs out? The cold sweat of caffeine withdrawal, the kids wanting their mid-afternoon cereal, the house-chef needing to make you your all important roux? You can’t possibly wait around when you’ve got a milk crisis on your hands!

So, you’ve run round the corner, made some small-talk with the (slightly) over-friendly shop attendant as you desperately wait for your card payment to go through or for Mr. Shopman to count out all the coppers you threw down onto the counter in a fit of panic, desperately hoping it’s that 46p you needed, and finally you’ve made it back after losing just the one slipper to an over-developed puddle. But what’s that? No. Couldn’t be? You were only gone for five minutes and there’s the ‘Rearrange Delivery?’ card. Now, if you were a customer of anyone other than Dabs, that milk bottle would be smashed on the pavement before you could say ‘well, there’s no use crying, I suppose’, but luckily you are a Dabs customer, so you can reorder delivery, via text, thanks to YODEL!

Odds are, if you’ve only been gone five minutes, the driver can’t be more than five or so minutes away, right? That’s just science. So why not call them back for a second-chance at delivery? Sounds like a great idea right? Well, thanks to our new SMS Text service brought to you in conjunction with Yodel you'll receive an SMS from the courier if you do happen to miss them. That way you can call them straight back and rearrange the delivery.

To give the new update system a go simply enter your mobile number on the order confirmation screen. You won't be charged for the text but we'll update you when your order ships and if you miss the courier they'll text you their mobile number so that you can call them to rearrange delivery.
