Local business doing deliveries

    Are there any business in Limerick/mid west still doing deliveries that are worth supporting?

    I know I can get pretty much anything I want from Amazon, but would prefer to keep money in the local economy if possible. If you know of anyone else still trading, please list them.

    seeing as I'm at home 24/7 my needs have changed a good deal. I now need the following (not interested in 2nd hand):
      Espresso machine (not pods), coffee beans and grinder
    • TV (haven't had one in 10 years)
    • garden supplies.

    Great idea. I'm not a fan of online shopping (Amazon in particular) but, given the current climate, it's probably the best course of action.

    I haven't actually ordered much online as of yet, but I did order coffee from Anam Coffee (in Co. Clare, so local enough) and they are donating all their profits from online orders to local cafes - a good initiative. Link: https://www.anamcoffee.ie/

    With respect to the TV - I know Finucanes are still "open" with the following procedure... you ring up and buy over the phone with your card. You can pull up outside, pop the boot and they will put in what ever you have bought and off you go.

    Are anybody delivering paint? Few bits o could square off while I'm locked up

    thanks, I hadn't though of either of those recommended. Might not need amazon at all now.

    I'm lookin to buy an electric burr coffee grinder to replace my current one. Something small but good.
    Any suggestion of a place that'll deliver to Dublin.

    Failing that, any recommendations in general. Budget is ~120€
    I should say that it's for a espresso machine, so needs to have a holder for the portafilter.

    Thanks for this suggestion. I was desperately trying to find the husband something different for his birthday on Thursday and their coffee subscription is perfect!

    Think the co-op are doing phone and collect for farm and feed stuff. Don’t know if stretches as far as paint. Give them a buzz and ask.
