Take your money, cancel your order and make you wait 5 days to get it back
I would like to start with mentioning, if i could give no stars id be happier.
I ordered an online grocery shop and the weather changed and roads became snow filled. I understandably expected a delay to my order but no.... a voicemail to tell me i wouldn't be getting my order today then at near 6pm on a sunday a text message to say :
"We are extremely sorry to let you know we have had to cancel your order today due to severe weather conditions. Your refund will be processed immediately, Please allow 3 to 5 days for your card issuer to process this onto your account, although this is often sooner. To reschedule your order, go to past orders, add all of your items to a new basket and checkout as usual"
Now fortunately, I was in a position to re order groceries however the sheer lack of regard for families who may not be in a position to re order is a joke. Then when I raise my concerns I recieve what can only be described as typically poor customer service from Tesco:
Dear John,
Thank you for contacting Tesco Home Shopping.
I'm very sorry to hear about these issues you had with your last delivery, I understand this isn't ideal.
We would always try to deliver shopping during bad weather as best we can but when we are receiving red and amber alerts, we feel this is when the driver lives become at risk and crashing is more likely to happen. I can fully understand your disappointment and frustrations and we would never do this to intentionally upset our customers. I am sorry this happened. Moving forward, providing the weather stays reasonable, we will be up and running again smoothly and always aim to provide the best service we can.
We care about the service our customers receive, your feedback is important to help us improve our service in future and you are valued so again, I am sorry this has happened and I'm sorry you may be leaving us due to these issues.
If there's anything else at all you wish to further discuss or that I can help you with, please let me know and I'll be able to assist.
Kind regards

IDEAL??? what would have been ideal would have been informed immediately and they change their process of taking customers money before a service is completed.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR......USE ASDA, Sainsburys, LIDL, ALDI, Ocado, Waitrose even if it means walking through broken glass a a lemon foot bath following if it means avoiding these corporate fraudsters
I hope this highlights TESCO
and if you have similar experiences... Ensure you rate them
Every little helps
