can you tell me more, how where when etc
I have just put the Scrabster Harbour postcode into the delivery checker on the Asda website, and got this message -
Sorry
We don't deliver to KW14 7UJ at the moment.
So, how did you do it?
You mean that ASDA Delivered to Scrabster all the way from Inverness! Not that I dont believe you its just that it would cost them more for the delivery that what you paid for the Goods.
So please tell us all exactly how you managed this feat and how much it cost for the delivery from Inverness.

I emailed them to ask if they'd deliver to KW14 and they said they had no plans at the moment to do so.
As one door shuts, another one slams in your face.
firstly a reply to Gronnuck, I suggest that comment was about yourself as if not maybe it should be, IT IS NOT a rumour and to comment like that really, do you not have manners or respect!
you will not get food delivered by asda themselves however when Tain Asda opens on Oct 22nd, it is something they hope to look at.
Asda food was delivered to me by my contacting a very kind man at a Haulage company and he very kindly put my delivery on his wagon to come up here. It was very reasonable cost and the service was fantastic, ordered and up here on the same day. Anybody with anything decent to say can pm for details and I will be more than happy to help you get asda food up here.
As has been said if you had explained the process in your original post it might not have been seen as the wind-up it appeared. You might have had the good manners to offer a clear explanation in the first place which would have encouraged a more respectful response. The purpose of the Org. forums is the sharing of information through communication. If it's done clearly it's a useful asset; if it's done badly it's as much use as a thumb on a dolphin.

I bet you didnt get to taste any of their frozen food!!!
So, what you are saying then, is, you gave this kind man at the haulage company your shopping list, he then went to his local Asda's did your shopping for you, and brought it all the way up here to you? Is that right ? Now, not once have I been rude to you, yet three posts on, and you are still not explaining exactly how it worked. It was you that posted how great it was that Asda is now delivering here, which Asda themselves have denied by phone and e mail. And just because you have not used the forums much before, what excuse is that ? you know how to write, so you could have avoided the negative comments, by just explaining yourself properly in the first place.
As I see it this Asda thing is a bucket o' nails. There are perfectly good sources hereabouts; we've got a choice of fresh meat from great butchers, lots of fresh veggies, eggs aplenty and Tescos and the Co-op for anything else. OK it would be nice if we had another major food retailer this far north for competition but it is never going to happen. We don't desperately need Asda; most people choosing to live in Caithness are perfectly able to innovate, adapt and overcome, nae bother.

Luckily down here in Auld Reekie I am spoiled for choice for Supermarkets, I have Tesco & Sainsburys close by, Morrisions a wee bit further away and I have Asda as well. I do not stick to the one store, I use a web site Mysupermarket.com to compare the price before I go shopping. to be perfectly honest, Asda is only used because I can get my Bacardi and wine cheaper there.
Their in house ready meals are not the best, but their clothing has a few bargains, I can understand that the Orgers would like an Asda store in Caithness, I would suggest you campaign to get a Morrisons, far superiour quallity food stuffs IMO
