“Sainsburys double up on nectar points dupes unsuspecting hard up young families. Nectar allowed double up vouchers to be exchanged for nectar points just minutes before the voucher expired. The confirmation MUST BE SPENT TODAY INSTORE came only after the transaction was made, when my son after receiving an email prompt, exchanged his points to purchase a pre-school toy for his young son, and was left with a worthless voucher as the stores were about to close. He called customer services the following day and the person spoken to was delighted to say they could not help.
Shame on you Sainsbury's!”
“Alton store rip you off by charging more than the website price. They then humiliate the customer by being rude and offhand when asked for a refund. Completely lacking in empathy. customer services and Rebecca in particular!”
“Bought LED light up candle on Saturday, by Tuesday it’s burnt out and placing a tea light in doesn’t light up the LEDS. What a waste of money. Glad I didn’t get this as a gift for someone!”
“Very disappointed with wellingtons purchased mid January 2020. Only wore for a few weeks when walking dog in woods before the lovely weather in summer. Came to wear them again a couple of weeks ago and feet got wet-when checked them found the rubber has perished - very poor quality. Informed Sainsbury's customer service and they just thanked me and said they will feedback to the supplier.”
“I used an online nectar voucher (£15 off if spend £100 or more) for my online grocery order only for it not to be included when my payment was taken on the day of delivery- Sainsburys gave me another one- only so I have to spend another £100! theft! I used the voucher in good will to receive the discount and my shopping subsequently cost more. Also my substitutes that I gave back to the driver have given as a voucher not a refund! I also requested bagged grocery deliveries as I'm vulnerable however this was not fulfilled either and I was led to believe it would be.”
“What a waste of time with click and collect service today. Missing items which I have paid for? Having to ring customer service for a refund for their mistake.”
“do not order anything online. if any problem nobody is going to help you. no deliverys without any sorry but or any info. customers service is second class service. not worth”
“WORST BRAND EVER CANCELED MY DELIVERY AND NEVER TOLD ME MADE ME PAY DELIVERY COSTS TWICES SHITTIEST SERVICE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE, WILL NEVER BE BUYING FROM THEM AGAIN”
“Sainsbury is the worst Company for on oine shopping. I brought 6 litres of Jack Daniels and subsituted with 70cl at a dearer priced. I was conned badly by Sainsburys and cutomer services are a waste of time. Do not on line shop here. They are expensive and con customers for their own gain
One star is too much for this company”
“If I was able to give 0 stars I would! I have placed an order online for home delivery, I have received the email of confirmation that my order will be delivered between 7:30PM-8:30PM (31.10.2020) and I waited and waited. Of course, it didn't come. At 10PM I have called the customer service myself to find out where is my delivery. The gentleman I talked to (can't remember his name) gave me an amazing answer "we don't know where is your driver, you won't receive your order today but someone will call you tomorrow morning to reschedule for tomorrow" . Great, I went to sleep without eating, not only me but my children too. I woke up today at 6AM so I am close to the phone to receive my food. No one called so I decided to call myself again. This girl Marge, which was very rude told me that no order will be delivered and if I am desperate I can get out of the house to buy some food and that someone will call me this week to give me a refund which will take up to 5 days from the moment I will be called. WE ARE IN HARD TIMES, I DON'T HAVE MILLIONS IN MY ACCOUNT, AND EVEN IF I HAD WHY WOULD I SUFFER FOR THEIR MISTAKE. DEFINITELY NEVER GOING TO PURCHASE FROM THEM AGAIN”

“Shopping didnt arrive so I phoned customer services and they said they would contact my local store and would ring me back. They phoned back to tell me that my order was cancelled due to van breaking down! So why didnt sainsburys phone me to tell me and arrange an alternative slot, more so as Im on their vulnerable list!! being housebound and disabled. This has happened before without me being informed by sainsburys!
I was given a slot for the following day but it wasnt showing on the website so I had to phone to double check the slot was booked.
I tried to amend my order via phone as I couldnt do it on the website and was told my order had been locked and it couldnt be changed. Customer service asked what I wanted and I said a loaf of bread, as I had forgotten to add it, she said she would phone the store and ask them to add it to my order, the store said they couldnt as my order was locked due to the change of delivery date!! Really!!!! not impressed!
OMG what a nightmare, shopping arrived late with out of date donuts and ALL my frozen foods missing!!! On the phone to customer services for a good hour and kept getting cut off, eventually got through and told them about my delivery. They couldnt get through to the store to see if the delivery driver could come back with my frozen foods so Ive been offered a refund for the missing items and stale donuts. So now I have to make do with whats in my freezer to eat before my next shop.
Fuming is an understatement!!
Complained via phone but have no idea if complaints are really dealt with so I emailed sainsburys but the email was returned as its no longer in use so I emailed the CEO.”
“I placed my order, only for them not to turn up. I then tried phoning, no answer, the next day I got a text saying that they cancelled it. I then managed to speak to someone, rather than delivering my order the next day, they said I would have to order them again in a different day. It was an appalling service, and Sainsbury’s policies need to be abolished, and their ideas need to be buckled up. I give them 1/10😡”
“Received first delivery today. Had received email that morning telling me had replaced stewed steak 400g tins x 3 with 200g tins x 6. Did not realise until found receipt under shopping after driver had gone that the cost of 6 small tins was £6 more than 3 large tins. Absolutely furious and feel robbed. Called customer services asking for refund. Angela answered phone and was very rude, trying to talk over me all the time. She was not interested in taking my name, order number or hearing about the problem. She talked over me just repeating that I should have read terms and conditions. I think this is robbery. I can return the tins to nearest shop which is 15 miles away in the middle of a pandemic or accept a voucher for a supermarket I no longer want to use”
“Once again, last night our order never showed up. Waited and waited, then called, was put on hold for half an hour, and then accidentally disconnected by Sainsbury's while they were taking my details. No one called me back. When I finally got through to them this morning, they said "the driver ran out of time so fulfill the delivery" (or bother contacting us to let us know). No food for the kids breakfast this morning. Not the first time this has happened, so we are shifting to Morrisons.”
“We ordered some celebration food/platters for a gathering of 6 for two separate sittings. It was stressful enough trying to manage the celebration whisky adhering to Covid guidance so it seemed sensible to delegate the food to Sainsbury's. We paid online and arrived at the store 30 mins before the event. No food, the manager had no information and as it was an express store there was not enough variation in the store to make the order. I then had to spend my own daughters celebration food shopping and cooking food. They put source the event food so cannot tell me what happened. Please do not trust this service for a celebration.”
“I have serious health/lung condition. I have had to kneel on my front doorstep to put my shopping in bags as shopping now is bagless. I asked the driver to transfer shopping but he said if he put shopping in the bags I provided I would have to lift the bags anyway.
I phoned customer service, very dismissive and said it was now co policy and it was drivers discretion whether to help or not.
I am very aware of the need to use less plastic but am not at all sure that to make the elderly and ill grovel on their doorsteps is the way forward.”
