“I got my home delivery and was told buy driver £37.60 worth of items were out of stock ! The email I had in morning just showed 1 item missing,this keeps happening ! I phoned customer service was on line in total 45 mins to be told sorry and I will get refund in 3 to 5 days rubbish service I am housebound and don’t get out to do my own shopping I will look into changing supermarkets but as I have checked reviews doesn’t seem to me that Sainsbury’s don’t value customers”
“VERY RUDE. !! Closed the phone when i asked for her name. I have never seen such rude customer service. I received damaged product so I had called to see what could be arranged she could only give me a voucher for one of the items. i said fine could i speak to your manager and supervisor she had said neither are in then i asked her name so i could make a complaint and shut the phone. SUCH RUDE SERVICE from a customer service advisor, also very arrogant. Then later I was told her name is Leigh. She needs a job that doesnt involve people.”
“This morning at Sainsbury Kelso, 8 September, while getting a trolley at disabled parking section, I passed these 2 dogs in this hot car with the sun bearing down on them. I took photos. There were 2 windows opened 1 inch each on the right side of the car. No open windows elsewhere. The 2 dogs were panting, one was crying. I went to Customer Service desk in supermarket. They refused to make an announcement to tell the owners. The fellow at the till said he'd tell the manager . I waited, kept looking if anyone was coming, went out to check the dogs again. No one showed up. Went to speak to Customer Services again and he said the manager told him Sainsbury can't get involved. Refused to alert owners or report the plight of the dogs. .Finally after over half hour to 3/4 of an hour of first seeing the dogs, the owners showed up with 2 trolleys of food. The couple in their 60s put the food in car. Wife said they cant leave their dogs home and so what !!! Wasn't bothered in the least. It is a hot sunny day today and inside that car it would be climbing to high 20's.
What shocks me is that Sainsbury refused to make an announcement over the loudspeaker to alert the owners. In a matter of minutes, the situation could have been resolved. What kind of store leaves dogs to suffer!!”
“I purchased some home goods , towels , bath towels. And stationary . Came to over £95 . However on getting home I looked at my receipt, and the bath towels hadn’t been discounted at point of sale as advertised. I called customer service to explain, only to be constantly interrupted, by someone who quite obviously hasn’t the training/ customer service skills to answer any complaints whatsoever. Didn’t care , not interested wanted to fob me off and she put the phone down on me !! Great , shall i shop at Tescos??? Very disappointed Sainsburys!!”
“Terrible after 5 shops in row , summer 2020, never again !.all food expires within 48 hours !! If your lucky a week , terrible. Order houmous x2, mango.and.cheese onion rolls all.expired next day?. Pototoes sack x2 expired in 48 hours ,steaks and.chicken in 48 hours. Refund policy very difficult to find / access on line and after 4 times in a row they stopped refunding ???! And when asked to refynd it to card they dont !they provide voychers so you have to shop there again, well I wont be. This has happened to several of my colleagues and friends who have all advised me to follow there lead and shop elsewhere , i shall! and wont reccomed the? to anyone, awful service. And beware!!! of their car insurance.**** When you call it a company in spain !!!linked to a "dodgy car accident claims company" that calls you contantly re accidents you have never had ?!”
“You might think you are clever making sure I can't get on your home delivery website, but when all this is over I most certainly will never enter one of your stores again. After about 40 years of shopping at sainsbury.”
“I am really shocked that sainsburys Lordshill are letting people in with no masks on,it's the law,l have been shopping there the last 3 weeks,each week l have been,there has been people not wearing masks or face shields,there was a man women and child no masks walking around touching the yogurts she must have picked up about 20 different ones and put them back,you should have a notice up out side saying no face coverings no shop,even your sercurity man and women do not wear nothing,if you have breathing problems then wear a face shield,sainsburys should be looking after there staff and customers,no one is exempt from getting this virus,l wear a mask and face shield to protect other people,l exspect the same for me,it's a pity sainsburys couldn't follow Tesco,if nothing is done about this l will have to take this higher up,you have messages on over your speakers telling to be mindful of other people,what a load of bull that is absolutely disgusting ,l feel like putting all over social media ,not to shop at sainsburys if you don't want to catch this deadly virus”
“No delivery or notification on appt o say would not be delivered. Went to pick up order, order not working. Awful service sainsburys! Using other supermarket.”
“No delivery or notification on appto say would not be delivered. Went to pick up order, order not working. Awful service sainsburys! Using other supermarket.”
“I placed an online order and sainburys didn’t have the items I wanted so sent substitutes costing almost 3 TIMES as much as the items I actually needed. On top of that they still charged me £7 for delivery despite the order now costing over £50 (due to their non-wanted, overpriced extras). Contacted them for a refund, was refused because I accepted the delivery - I’ve never heard such nonsense in my life! I will never order from them again or shop in their stores, disgraceful customer service & dishonest behaviour! They didn’t even send me an amended invoice, I had to work out the price differences myself & only realised then that they still charged me for postage too!”
“I ordered 1 packet of sushi rice as part of my online shop and Sainsbury's sent me 10 packets of nori seaweed as a substitution - and charged me £20+ for the privilege. Pretty racist substitution, why not just send me 1 bag of different rice?
They issued me an online coupon for their site, which didn't go through when I placed an order. I rang customer services and they told me that "it happens and vouchers disappear sometimes" and reissued me with another coupon. Frankly I just want a refund of the money they stole from me but apparently their "subs policy doesn't allow".”
“I had a sainsbury order for online delivery 26th july 2020 at 9pm which they cancelled at 4pm via email so I had no way of going to get my order. They re-booked for 27th at 10-11pm slot as that was all they had left. I waited up till 12pm and no order arrived. I called but they were closed, no email and no call. I have 2 young children. This has to be the worst ever service provided. They do not care about people the service and communication is appalling. They said it was a driver issue late at evening, now unless he took the truck home they would have known about this! So why not call me. Money was taken from my account and showed online as delivered.”
“Never, ever shop online with Sainsbury's.
Firstly they missed out 2 items from my home delivery without telling me or offering a substitute (clearly 4pts of milk and some Greek yogurt are tough to find subs for), despite emailing in the morning saying everything was in stock.
I decided to do an online refund claim to save me calling them. I asked for the cash back because a voucher is useless if I don't intend on using them again. It then says they have to call you back to do it over the phone rather than putting it back onto the card you paid with.
Fine. However 4 days later I get an email with a voucher code on it. I therefore have to call them up and spend 12 minutes on hold to get through to someone called Nadia who takes my details but can't actually help. She says she'll transfer me to the refund team but then manages to cut me off!
I then have to call again (15mins on hold) and finally speak to someone else and then get transfered to the refund person (a short additional hold) who finally took my details and I'll get my money in 3-5 days, at least a week after they took it wrongfully in the first place.
Never will I use Sainsbury's delivery again.”
“Absolutely useless online service. Don't bother trying to order anything "on offer" as your order will be cancelled the day after you have waited in all day for the delivery (on 2 separate occasions in this case).
Customer services simply not interested and kept parroting the standard line of "its in the terms of service that your order can be cancelled".
Get your IT system sorted out so it is "live" and will not allow customers to order products they have no chance of getting. Very very poor - you have been warned.”
“Shocked by Saisnbury owned Argos irresponsibility. Alerted them to a faulty, and potentially dangerous deep fat fryer which overheated after half an hour and cracked my work surface. They collected faulty item but now say there will be no investigation as they have "lost it". Case closed. Brilliant way of dealing with customer complaints. That means there are still potentially lethal products being sold. You would think they would like to avoid a headline that says "Sainsbury CEO knew about dangerous item and did nothing", but apparently not.”
“Fresh bread counter selling previously frozen buns.
There is a very small warning on the back of the packet re previously frozen.
The display however suggests all freshly baked.
Disappointed with Sainsbury’s”
“Need I say more dreadful customer service . One lady in particular put the phone down on me and still waiting for a manager to contact me 48hrs after initial contact . YOU have lost a customer who spends a large amount of money weekly .”
“The delivery driver was really helpful and friendly but he wasn’t allowed to take any substitutes back due to covid19, the substitutions which I didn’t want I never do was ridiculous and the dates on fresh meat & fish was under 2 days,but it was the customer service which was shocking unprofessional and never even processed my refund I had too ring back a month later when I got my bank statement, which is when I made a complaint about her and I’ve heard nothing as too the way of an apology.”
“It seems that Sainsburys have a Policy where deliveries to Vulnerable people on the Shielding register, reliant on deliveries, can decide whether or not to make the delivery!
Having had arguments with the delivery in 3/5 deliveries, they could not be bothered to deliver up to the 1st floor, as they had been doing so Pre Covid, for 5 years.
It is discriminatory, and cruel, for the person who is shielding on Medical grounds, and on The Register as designated by Law, that they cannot know IF the driver will decide to deliver or not.
Totally unacceptable.
Several people have had this experience we know in North London, especially from the Enfield store. These places for delivery are smart clean places with just one main entrance door to be buzzed in through intercoms, and then have another door before each floors flats, so easily food could be left the other side of the actual front doors.
The attitudes are disgraceful.
People that are "Shielding", have much more to be wary of being brought in, in terms of infection by the delivery driver themselves, as well as on crates, bags, packaging, which they have also reverted too.
They do not even credit people back for weeks, even when the order is as is the Customers right , to be "Refused" left outside at the entry door.
Further, even not touching the "replacements" or damaged items badly packed, they Refuse to take them back or credit for them.
Awful attitude, shameful and discriminatory.
Customers should Refuse such an attitude, and let them send the food back, wasted by there own behaviour.”
