“Two failed grocery deliveries, both occasions we weren’t contacted and the customer service varies depending on who you speak to. The inconvenience has been huge! Tried to resolve this but have given up. Would not recommend their grocery delivery service to anyone!!!”
“On-line grocery shopping with Sainsbury’s is a total disaster. The website has glitches and often unable to log-in and book deliveries. The on-line help team and tech team are also useless, 30 mins each time on hold and then can’t work out why it’s not letting us place an order. Numerous promises of calls back once they have fixed the bug, but they never call or deal with the problem. Tried the Facebook messenger option, they are also useless and simply advised to call the same number I’ve called numerous times. Asked for a complaints telephone number and all they give me is the same number I keep ringing - it’s not a complaints line. Just signed up with Morrison’s now and will be doing weekly shop with them after being with Sainsbury’s for 15 years. Recommend avoid!!!”
“After I placed a huge order on Sainsbury´s Website (256 pounds!), they delivered the food to my student accomodation the next day. Several items were missing because the delivery man missed to hand out the last box of food (which I discovered after work). Apart from that he forgot a couple of crates at my place. I phoned the customer service to ask for a delivery of the missing items on the next day. The lovely Lady on the phone made clear, that I cannot get my food, that I paid for!!!, delivered, because I don´t have a UK phone number. Contact per E-Mail or picking up the items at a certain time and place was not possible either. After several minutes of discussion, I tried to point out that the driver needed to come anyways because of the forgotten crates. No chance! No customer service whatsoever! You certainly lost a customer here, Sainsbury´s!! Never will I ever shop there again…. They do have good quality food though..”
“Terrible service from Sainsbury’s online order department. I placed an order for click and collect, received confirmation and when I arrived to collect the order was incomplete. When I went to store to sort this out, there was no one on customer service, I called but the wait was so long! I placed another order, my order was confirmed but when I returned to collect, they changed my order for another product! I tried to sort out with customer service on the phone and got nowhere. Very poor service from Sainsbury’s”
“Ashton Under Lyne - Usually the staff here are really nice and friendly! However I spoke to a deputy manager called Dean today who was absolutely awful, such a bullish mentality and so rude! I can't believe that's how he treats people/customers and if that's the way he does treat the customers then I can't imagine how others would be treated i.g staff! So disgusted by the way the situation was handled by someone who absolutely does not represent the store or the company as a whole very well! Good job that the other members of staff seem to be customer focused and friendly people! Disappointed to say the least with how I've been treated by such a "manager".”
“Today I went to Sainsbury’s Eastbourne the third time in three weeks to purchase lacto free milk portions. I also found a shirt and another couple of items. Once again they were out of stock. I dealt with three different staff members who were totally disinterested not proactive and I had to interrupt one who ignored me and just carried on a personal conversation with her colleague who were also shopping! In the end I asked to speak to a manager it took two phone calls to find one and when Diana arrived she looked at me with total disinterest, I told her what had happened the lack of any form of proactive customer service she made excuses about staff sickness lack of recruitment but when I challenged her about the lack of customer service training she couldn’t give a reply. She looked and sounded totally uninterested. When I asked her what she was going to do to help me her reply was nothing as the items out of stock! With that I left all my shopping and went to Waitrose amazing they had the product in stock and it was cheaper! The set at the Eastbourne branch has been in decline for some time I truly believe it’s now reached an all time low, even the manager need some training !”
“Phenominally rubbish fresh home grocery delivery where you eitjer have 6 or 7 items missing or something with just 3 hours life left in it.They have absoulutely no idea of what a fresh home grocery delivery is.”
“Online is a joke. They are constantly out of items. My delivery delivery today is missing 4. They replaced dill with flat leafed parsley, no brown mushrooms, no white wine and no chorizo.
Sainsburys in New Barnet is even worse. They have recently got rid of lots of items so they could put an Argos store in the supermarket. So many things I used to buy are now gone. Argos has a great same day delivery. Why is it necessary to put a store in a supermarket??
I'm switching to Tesco or Asda next week!”
“On line shooping.
I am 9months pregnant so I ordered online to avoid carrying with heavy bags to home. However, my shooping box was letf on the floor in the street, all items out of the bags, and the delivery person watching me dealing with the heavy stuff without offer any help, one by one, down and up. I was very upset, some mankind was expected.”
“Sainsburys New Barnet,
Arrived just before 10a.m. ,
Fresh bread at the bakery was none existed, the section for loafs half full, empty sections where the spices are, however more importantly staff walking round changing shelf labels or whatever, my point is its not the place to aim for to shop, when Aldi opens maybe Sainsburys will close, as the management don't seem to care about the customers or tge staff.”
“DO READ TERMS AND CONDITIONS! arranged an online shop and over 8 items I ordered we're substituted with much more expensive items increasing my bill by approx £40. When I phoned to complain, I was told the TERMS and conditions state Sainsburys can do this and charge the higher value for non food items. I will not be musings Sainsburys online shopping again.”
