Mines 3 days a week, Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday. Last nightās came at 1am, I was still awake when I got an email saying the cheese was out of stock. I did have to squeeze the glass bottles in today, doubled up on milkshakes 
The thing is, I buy from co-op, or cravendale usually and they also pay farmers fairly. The milk is a little more expensive than tescos regular or something, but itās not that much. My parentās local milkman is 50p / pint which is reasonable. When I looked at milk & more itās Ā£1.20 a pint. Thatās absurd, and a luxury I just canāt afford.

Now this thread made me want to give this a go. But canāt really find what areas Modern Milkman covers. Unless itās nationwide?

I donāt know why the refill place I get most stuff from doesnāt do milk. Possibly the vegan vibe I guess although they have butter.
I know thereās milk refills popping up in some areas. More of those would be nice.
Just a thought. Might be good to double check there isnāt a local milkman youāve missed available before going to a National company? My parents found out theirs didnāt usually stop in their village, they only found out about him because he was getting his milk from the farm next door!
occasionally the farmer slips them a pint of raw milk. They probably shouldnāt tbh, but man that stuff is delicious.

Itās kind of a bit sporadic but covers a wide area,I think when I signed up, thereās a postcode checker which will let you know.
Check this link for a general map area, not sure how up to date it is. Thatās a link from the oat milk producer. But double check the actual websites they should check and tell you.
We get 2 pints delivered a Monday and Thursday.
McQueens Dairies I think it is.
Ā£4.20 a week / Ā£16.80 a month on milk seems expensive though 
Havenāt engaged to consider having other bits delivered. Probably should take a look for more basics.

Thatās the problem, supermarkets have conditioned people to think it should be cheap, this gets customers through the door,.

I picked up two pints from Sainsburyās for Ā£1.30 last week.
Which would be Ā£1.60 saving a week but I know we would forget to get some regularly so itās more convenient to just have it delivered.
You use a lot of eggs

3 a day during the week, weekends I donāt usually as Iām at a different job at the weekends, where I have to be on site. Monday to Friday I can fire up the frying pan for a bit of scrambled 
I donāt think my stomach would hack so much

Nice plain food Iām fine with tend to stick to same breakfast and lunches. Keep it simple and all that, the sourdough loaf lasts me the week, just toast a wedge for the eggs.
Interesting - itās actually not that much more than a āregularā supermarket shop.
Just looking through your receipt - is there a minimum spend per day there? Just wondering why you had a 40p delivery fee on Thurs and Saturday but not on Monday?
Comparing it to Morrisons - buying that from them in the supermarket wouldnāt actually be that much cheaper - Iāve worked it out as roughly Ā£13.68. That, however is based on 2 litres of Morrisons own brand oat milk instead of 3 pts of Oat Drink from your milkman. 2 litres is actually 3 and a half pints.
I canāt tell what size of the milkshakes are that youāve ordered, so Iāve assumed āFrijiā milkshakes which are 400ml (about 2/3rd of a pint).
Also, Morrisons are rationing eggs at the moment - only 2 boxes per order.
Youāve also got the issue with Morrisons (and most other supermarkets) that they have a minimum spend (at Morrisons itās Ā£25) and they also charge a delivery fee.
For the convenience of getting this delivered 3 times a week regularly for such a small amount of groceries and itās fairly comparable with prices at the supermarket, thatās a pretty good setup.
FWIW, Iāve just checked on Milk and More to see how much your regular orders would be there each week - and theyāre much more expensive than whatever milk service youāre using. Itās Ā£20.65 for that lot in total for the week.

Thereās no minimum spend with them, however they do charge a delivery fee if your order doesnāt hit a certain amount. So Ā£6 or over is free delivery, thereās 2 other price brackets below this which I canāt recall, I believe one attracts a Ā£0.60 fee and the other Ā£0.40. I just canāt recall the values which trigger that as my orders obscure what they are.
Milkshakes are pint bottles an all
Edit - I forgot to add you can make changes to your order up to 8pm the day before the delivery is due, handy for if you need something additional. They just bill your card again for anything extra.
You can also add one off items, so for instance I ordered a block of butter for todayās delivery. Iāve not put that on repeat delivery as I couldnāt work my way through a block a week
Another edit - it was bugging me looking for the delivery fees notification. Itās at the very end if the receipt, Iād not scrolled down enough

@DaveJ interesting different prices for products and delivery fees.
They have increased the range of products in last 6 months as well.
Lots of festive goodies on offer.
I will just add we have been customers from the very start as the founders are from our area.
They donāt get it right all the time. This morning they left our empties 
- maybe 6 bottles by next delivery
