Hally that is terrible, I sell my knitting online and always worry about this sort of thing, everything leaves here in perfect condition but it is out of my control after that.

Thanks so much for sending the courier an email Hally - it is so disappointing to hear that the book has arrived in a state that you can't even look through it!

As knittercook says it is so frustrating when things are out of your control and do not arrive in the state you sent them. I will be following this up with the courier company.

If anyone else has had a similar experience please let me know. alyce@alycealexandracookbooks.com

Groan.....it's only been a week since I ordered and I am all the way over in Canada.  I am sure it will be a little while longer : (  It feels like a month *SIGH*

Well worth waiting for though Woerd!  It is a gorgeous book (IMHO)  Don't be disheartened by the courier stories here.  Most couriered articles arrive very quickly . . . . some fall between the cracks as it were.  My QFITT arrived the day after I received the email!

I ordered a Christmas gift for my son - online and well before Christmas - so it would arrive on time.  It arrived New Years Eve - and then only because I complained to the seller after receiving nonsense emails from the courier.. :-\  When I checked the courier's website after the fact
 they were patting themselves on the back for what a wonderful job they'd done over the Christmas period :o  It was interesting to note that that particular courier co.  featured prominently in a list published online after the New Year of companies whose service (of lack thereof) received the most complaints. :-))

I do feel for Hally . . .that would have been just so disappointing -( not to mention infuriating!!).  It's probably a warning to us all that when we ship ANYTHING - especially via courier - we try to pack it so it doesn't run the risk of being contaminated.    Hats off to Alyce for her customer service!!  It makes such an enormous difference!! :D :D

I left the book outside all night. It still smells but now I am able to browse through it. Its in the car so hopefullynsome sea breezes will freshen it up more.

Was very disappointing but now I can read it ;D ;D

Just had a quick look, it looks fantastic, cant wait to try somethings tonight, probably a side or salad.

Yes Alyce has been great, excellent customer service.

If your reading this Alyce, hoping in time the smell will go.

H :)

Just had a look through, i want to make everything now.

So happy have a lot of ingredients with me to make lots of things, i have so much stuff in the car, i even have kafir kime leaves. Its going to be a tasty holiday. My friends will want to eat what were eating, some things we can share, but not all.

  :D ;D

Obviously I was lucky because mine arrived promptly and no probs with the book. Made polenta chips and dipping sauce the other night. Delicious.

What fab service.   I sent a parcel to a friend in England ,  on the 22nd. of Sep.  last year.  it still hasn't arrived.  Australia post said that they can only trace it in Australia.  You really do appreciate good service.

Mine arrived today too! An early birthday present.

I agree that it looks beautiful, and I can definitely see myself cooking from it. Must get out the sticky bookmarks!

It's not under soups CP so it must be either a side dish or a complete meal for vegetarians.  Served in a bowl though so perhaps it is too runny for a plate.
