“I had my online grocery order cancelled. Phoned them and rescheduled delivery next day. I am still waiting nearly 4 weeks later for a refund for the order that was cancelled. Customer services are a joke.first time I rang .oh yes it will be in your bank in 3 days. Next time 5 to 7 days.and a next time said it had gone in. What a surprise still.no refund.I am now getting my bank to resolve in getting my money back as they said after 15 days they can help.”
“My order was not delivered no contact from anyone. Received email next day saying my money refunded. Had to ring customer service to find out why they just said it was traffic( totally understand not drivers fault) customer service didn't even apoligise and just said " yes someone should have called you" Apalling customer service.”
“Been waiting for my delivery for the last 2h and that's past my time slot. Called the call center 3 times and no one can tell me when it will get here. Such bad customer service. Will order my food from somewhere else from now on.”
“I was served today by a man called Zubair x I was buying my shopping with a gift card which wads on my mobile
He was very helpful as it didn’t work at first but he typed the numbers in instead of scanning the bar code, he was very patient and I’d just like to say that he was a very friendly, lovely person and a credit to ur store. Thank you for your help I think you are a really nice person x”
“I shop at sainsbury's nearly every day.i enjoy shopping & I spend alot of money there.staff are always happy& polite.but after hearing that the nectar card will be replaced with points only to be used with a smartphone I shall not be shopping there again.i am so upset by this change that only certain customers with a smartphone receive these rewards.you have lost a loyal customer of many years”
“I placed an order well in advance of the scheduled delivery date ….. they took my payment of over a hundred pounds ….. they confirmed my delivery for that morning and quoted the actual time …… obviously a driver failed to check in and my order was abandoned ! I would have obtained a refund but it takes 5 days and as a pensioner I can’t afford to pay out that amount of money again without regaining what they had taken from me ? …… so I had to go through a telephone conversation to re-schedule my much needed groceries …… the telephone agent went silent when I presented my situation ….. I had to say hello several times to get a response ( I was calm and polite !!!) …… bitterly disappointed ?”
“dreadful service online click and collect. Substituted ridiculous things for stuff not in store ( but ordered without any warning of low stock) for example: cake instead of bread, olives in brine instead of dry olives, tiny bottles of water instead of 2 litre ones. Refused all the substitutions at the point of collection and was only refunded on the water. Only the Bought 2 x4 pint organic milk cartons and discovered they were both just 2 days before sell by date. Bought and paid for 2 sets of stamps, 1st and 2nd class and they were not included and I had to get a refund on the money paid. Bought and paid for 2 bottles of Shiraz, only one was given ( two were charged) and this was off.. it exploded all over my dress and the table and floor when I opened it and was clearly off. I had to call and the operatives were excellent who refunded me the money for the missing items and substitutes which I had refused at the collection.. but what a shambles and what a waste of time. This was my first trial of Sainsbury's and of their click and collect. Never again! Back to a decent supermarket Tesco/Morrison/Occado as fast as possible !”
“One star is far too many! Refused to deliver to me as I checked the box to say I'm isolating. Explained that they could deliver without me evn opening my door. The driver claimed that my area was a "covid hotspot" and he won't deliver. Is he a delivery driver or an immunologist?! This goes agains their own policy on delivering to people isolating, which states "We will always deliver to the front door of your house or flat. ... Safety is our highest priority and our colleagues will continue to follow social distancing guidelines and will not enter your home when they deliver your order but can assist you in transferring your order from the totes to your own bags or containers."
Absoloutly pathetic! I will never again set foot in one of your shops.”
“Waited in all day for an order that was never even put on the van for delivery. told this after 3 phone calls.
Was told I would be called to rearrange delivery for today.
Received an email, 'order cancelled - refund 3-5 days!'
Complained on TWITTER, got a 'goodwill gesture £5!' And told 'have a good day!'
Rang up to complain, told that all she could do was another 'good will gesture £10'
Got no food and now have to wait 3-5 days for my money to be refunded by Sainsbury's.
Taking myself off to Asda later, Sainsbury's ain't seeing me again - EVER ....”
“Sainsbury think they are the best but I've used all the supermarket's click and collect service and i can safely say they are the worst 1st shop with them this week short use by dates and then poor customer service terrible start a conversation then just stop any replies terrible never had this trouble with asda,morrisons,tescos i would say top of the list would be tescos for all round services very keen to keep you as a tesco customer”
“Racially profiled by security guards, harassed, verbally abused, and physically threatened... what did Sainsbury's do...nothing. 10 months later after public pressure, they are now conducting an investigation... avoid!!”
“Sainsbury's ineptitude has caused me weeks of frustration and distress after they erroneously marked my online groceries order as fraudulent. This led to the deactivation of my entire groceries account.
I still don't know why my order was deemed to be fraudulent and it is apparently Sainsbury's policy not to question the validity and accuracy of their fraud team's decisions.
As my groceries account has been closed for me, I am in the process of closing my Sainsbury's Bank, Argos and Nectar accounts as I will avoid this group of companies altogether from now on. Pity, I had been a customer of theirs since 2004.”
“Delivery 4 hours late with no explanation.
Was meant to have a delivery between 1-2pm today but nothing. Finally told later that they would be here at 4-5pm and still nothing. After we complained for a second time they said the driver would inform us when they were nearby. This didn’t happen and finally at 6:30 when we sat down for dinner they turned up. Customer service were awful. Wouldn’t tell us what the issue was and just told us ‘they understood how we feel.’
The delivery driver told us that someone else had quit whilst on the job today and that’s why there’s been delays. So clearly there was a reason for the delay but customer service didn’t tell us this and at no point did they contact us. We had to contact them three times for an update.”
“I have just had my first Sainsburys order delivered. I usually shop in the store but because I tested positive for Covid I wasn't allowed to go out. The driver (unfortunately I didn't know his name) was really good, I left my bags outside and he filled them for me and knocked when he had finished. I received all of my order apart from one item so I am totally satisfied. Thank you Sainsburys for your professionalism and friendly service”
“In Grimsby store staff are excellent. Gentleman says hello as you walk in and it is a good gesture. Not always there but most of the time. Staff on the tills friendly and as for the cafe staff are really good as well. Very hygienic and trolleys inside the shop already been cleaned but still supply sterilizer for trolley and baskets handles as well as hands. A couple of niggles..it is bad that they expect you to buy one of their bags for veg ( mesh type bag ) so I put them loose in the trolley or basket. When it came to brussel sprouts it was a bit of a problem as you cannot price them seperately and holes in trolley and basket ( nuisance ..lol ) so I grabbed a brown bag and it said mushrooms on it so I got told off at the till...( always one grumpy member of staff, she weighed them just the same ) I nearly " rolled over " laughing even though she was serious. A big niggle is tht they have stopped doing two different flavours of soup..used to be one for vegetarians and another for non vegetarians..very popular in the past”
“Not even want to give a start. Worst delivery experience ever. Diver said he cannot find the way so he left. The call center, the store and the driver were keep telling me to wait saying that the driver is coming. I waited from 4to 9pm and finally call them again. They told me the diver cannot find the way ????? Waste my time. You need a new driver with google map’”
“I was in Hastings sainsburys today in the cheque only to see that they had opened 3 tills only, this was done to force customers to use self scan or smart shop.
They are trying to use less staff and eventually let people go as they won’t be needed.
For the sake of money to get rid of people.
If Mr Sainsbury’s was still alive, he would be dismayed as he’s loving family business has been turned upside down & inside out for the sake of money.”
“I recently had a home delivery and never again will I use this service.
My frozen food had defrosted and had to be thrown away, flowers I bought died the next day. All my paid for items were just thrown into the container they deliver in!!
Never again will I use Sainsbury’s Home Delivery because I don’t like throwing my money away.”
