I hope yours arrives intact DD. There has been some anger over poppies arriving smashed. The really bad news is that Yodel have been delivering them without due care & attention.
In one shocking incident, a courier was caught hurling a poppy package 25ft over a garden fence when he was unable to reach the customer's front door.
My poppy has arrived it was delivered yesterday evening, they must be working longer hours to cope with Christmas Luckily it's undamaged and doesn't seem to have been repaired or touched up, they say the wire is intentionally left rusty which s quite nice as it adds to it's charm and history. It was a little fiddly to assemble but I managed it and I'll post a picture of it when I have my PC back from the 'doctors'

DD, can I ask roughly what order number you were? I don't want the actual, obviously, but sort of 20,000 or 100,00 or whatever. I know someone who was 130,000 ish and got theirs last week, same day as a 60,000. I am 160,000 and have heard nothing yet so I was just wondering.
I was 28,000ish but I know someone who ordered a few days after me and their's arrived last week I had wondered if they were being done alphabetically as their name comes before mine? Having said that both out surnames are well down the alphabetical list perhaps they're doing blocks of say 10,000 or 20,000 at a time and then working alphabetical? I hope your's arrive soon EB

I ordered mine on the first day it was available and I've not had an email and so obviously haven't received the poppy yet. I can only assume that thousands are on the list ahead of me. The money left my account within hours though.
And my surname begins with a B so maybe they're going backwards down the alphabet.
My order number was between 150,000 and 160,000 and I received mine on 20th Nov after notification from Yodel. Hope you all get your deliveries soon and intact.
Well that proves it really, there is no rhyme or reason to how they're being dispatched but as I wasn't really expecting it to arrive until January or February I'm very happy it's come so soon

I've just checked the email that I got when I ordered it. The order number is 30467, so I'm assuming I'm the 30,467th customer? (in which case I'm totally confused about the order of dispatch ......... very random, maybe?)
Any more turned up? I'm still waiting for mine, not despatched yet - and Yodel are struggling to deal with all the parcels they have so even when it is it will take ages!!
I still haven't even had the email ............ I'm beginning to think that I'll have made a donation (which is fine by me) but that I won't receive a poppy. Hopefully I'm wrong about that.
