No. She had never heard of them, they weren't in the catalogue and they weren't on the truck. She suggested I buy it on the internet, which for me involves a long drive to a god forsaken distribution centre on a distant trading estate where I can be ignored by youths in Leeds United shirts. |

Mine was left with a neighbour a couple of doors down; wasn't a royal mail delivery, it was another firm. If you have neighbours in during the day, maybe it'll be worth a punt? |

But looking at the website it does say
"Exclusive offer for home shoppers".

If they're not at work, they're on drugs.  |

Can't you have it delivered to your work address?

It's banned, we've got nearly 1000 people on site here and the poor receptionist was getting snowed under. |

When I phoned up last week, it was another lady I spoke to and she said yes she knew what they were and they'd be in on Wednesday (yesterday). I had also e-mailed the internet site and they told me it would be in store and gave me the phone number of the shop so I could check. Never mind, I havn't really got space for one anyway so I think i'll survive being dehydratorless for now  |

Slightly off topic, but on the same Tchibo page, there's a £35 slicer.
Has anyone any knowledge/experience of it? |

Do they send things out Royal Mail or is it courier? |

Tchibo use a courier firm ParcelNet for delivery in Britain, as far as I know.
Maybe everybody knows this already, but if you're a new customer there are various discount voucher codes available to use (free delivery/£3.95, another is £5 off a £20 first spend). A google search will throw up something or search the forums at moneysavingexpert.com .

I couldn't sign up at their website to order, so had to order by telephone. Haven't seen the card charge yet, so can't say for certain my discount code worked. |

Last year I managed to pick up a food dehydrator very similar to the one in the link .
I paid £2 for it from a bootfair. I think it has a few more trays than the one shown and a couple of silicon type liners that you can add to the trays for drying out fruit leathers etc .It also had a mandolin type cutter to slice food really thinly in with it.So it was a good bargain!
I can't see a makers name on it anywhere ?But it works fine and I use it mainly in late summer to dry tomatoes and other fruits and veggies etc .
In the winter I tend to use my Rayburn's cool oven ,as that is running anyway and it seems silly not to use it.
Here it is.

Some bargain , that, Naomi.....I wonder if could use a steamer, perhaps works on the same principle. |

Blast from the past, my tchibo is still going and these days is hardly ever back in a cupboard it gets used that much. |
