“My Sainsbury's order did not arrive. I had a slot book for delivery of groceries yesterday between 8pm-9pm. My delivery did not arrive. No phone call or e-mail to communicate with me. Tried to contact customer service and was kept on hold for so long, I gave up. I now have the painful task of trying to get hold of someone in customer services for a refund, as the value of the shopping has been taken from my bank account. I won’t be using this service again.”
“Do not go with Sainsburys. Every time I deal with them with my online shopping there is a problem. They think that a £5 voucher helps. If I have ordered shopping I expect it to come, I do not expect there to be an error on their side so that my order is cancelled or I am forced to cancel it for another time.
They are vile!
On 3 occasions now my order has not been delivered because of what they can or cannot do. The customer does not come first. I have been on the phone with them for over an hour all the times I have spoken to them. Disgusting! They do not even have a proper complaints procedure.”
“My family is going hungry because they did not deliver my order. We have been asked to isolate so i cannot go out. Flimsy excuse is the driver couldn't find my address and couldnt contact me either. But my phone works just fine, and he would be the first delivery man who couldnt find my address. It sucks big time. Now, i have to wait 5 days before i can order anything because i have no money left. I was banking on their delivery to feed my family for 2 weeks.”
“I am elderly and usually your delivery drivers leave shopping on porch, more recently in bags left out for them. Twice had the same delivery driver who refuses to put shopping into bags and requests I unload Sainsbury’s containers and pack it into bags myself. Last time, feeling dizzy and off balance, I was unable to cope with it and it was a big order. He took my order away and didn’t leave it. Hoping Sainsbury’s will promptly refund my card payment. It does clearly say on their website the delivery driver will leave the order if bags are provided but this is not true of all drivers, so if you are infirm, heavily pregnant or tired, use Amazon Prime Now with Morrison’s. They deliver in nice clean strong paper bags, email when it is coming, and leave on step and knock the door. They usually wear a mask too. You also get same day delivery and it is free. It is very easy to speak to them, they phone you back if you leave a message online and sort out any problems quickly.”
“I have just completed a phone call (18th September 13.45.) with customer service regarding a query with a current order. The lady who dealt with me had such a lovely and warm manner I simply want to say thank you. All sorted very easily.Certainly a credit to Sainsbury’s.”
“We received a delivery from David your driver who was extremely helpful, polite. He represented your company very well. Thank you David, much appreciated.”
“Sainsbury's celebrated their 150th anniversary recently, 150 years of looking after their customers.
In their 151st year, they have lost the plot.
Closing inner town stores, to make people drive to their out of town stores, with no regard for the environmental problems they are causing.
Their phrase of, "The new store is just a short drive away", means that they are chasing away customers who do not drive! And we all know that public transport does not serve these out of town shopping areas very well.
Internally, the shops are going downhill, with the quality of food and shops deteriorating.
The only good thing left, are their staff, a loyal and brilliant bunch of workers, who are going to suffer with the store closures.
Top management need to step back and have a look at what they are creating, rather than compete with the likes of Tesco, they are becoming the same as Tesco, which is a step in the wrong direction.”
“Sutton surrey store have renewed our faith in sainsburys for shopping through covid 19 lockdown all the staff are excellent the store has been perfect to get around no clutter at the end of the isles to narrow walkways and never too many people in shop thank you”
“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!!”
“Just shopped at Midsomer norton branch - a manager named Tracey helped me with a problem to be interrupted by rude customer - I must say she dealt with problem with patience, diligence and calm most impressed just saying disabled customer 🙂”
“Great food products and friendly staff but keep disappointing re online grocery delivery. We are shielding and this is on their delivery details for us. The drivers wear no gloves or masks and handle all the items with bare hands when taking out of crates and transferring them to our bags for life. Why?
Furthermore their pickers use no common sense when substituting items. We ordered for today 4 x 1kg of easy peelers=4kgs. They delivered 1 x 600g of string bag instead of the equivalent of say 7x 600g bags. They always stock lots of easy peelers . Don't they want to sell them?”
“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.”
