“We are a children's charity and each year our main fundraiser event means we need a quantity of bread rolls which are ordered well in advance , for past 2 years we have gone to collect only to be told they cannot fulfill the order, now after reasurances we order again, surprise suprise for the third year running on the day of collection " can't fulfill the order" Even though they accept the order it seems they are not obliged to fulfill it or even give you any notice of non fulfillment, what utter utter incompetence, once again having to run around the county last minute trying to get enough to run the event. Dispicable of tescos”

“Pre-ordered a game on Tesco direct purely on basis that it promised access codes for beta access (I could have got the game cheaper elsewhere without beta access codes). The codes were not delivered/emailed, despite contacting Tesco chat and making formal complaint. Obviously you are advertising products that you cannot deliver.”

“Bought a watch which was faulty from Tesco Direct. Took it back to Tesco, who said they would not refund or replace as another company had sold the watch through its website. Whilst in store, a staff member tried to ring the company involved, who never answered the phone. Very poor service.”

“Aggressive security harasses female shoppers rushing them and assaulting them. Still remains hired and loiters on the street intimidating pedestrians despite numerous complaints. Boycott Tesco Metro”

“I waited on 3 different days for my delivery to arrive, it did not arrive! They kept saying the driver came but no one was home. Definite lie! Customer service was very poor when I spoke to them stating they can't do anything about it but to reschedule for another day. So I spoke to a manager who seemed genuinely nice and even though she did not do anything, she listened to me no understood that the driver made the mistake. This made a huge difference to me as this manager actually listened and apologised for me not receiving items and service that I paid for. 3 days later Tesco charged me from my account twice and They was not happy when I asked for it back. It's my money! Of course I want it back. I had evidence to say it was taken out from my account. yet they still did not want to refund my money. Again the customer service was so bad, you clearly cannot say a word to them without them trying to override you, I waited a week for my money and was told to wait another week for my money to be refunded after that I will have to call again. Never shop in TESCOS!! ASDA IS SOOO MUCH BETTER, THEY NEVER GAVE ME THIS MUCH HASSLE AND THEIR SERVICE IS NOT BAD AS THIS!!”

“your vacuum pack meat is not fit for human consumption, absolutely disgusting, full of gristle and sinew, I think the leg of lamb I bought must have been the grandfather of them all ( mutton ) completely wasted my money . I phoned the head office to complain and they said they can't do anything about it as i did not keep the packaging ( who does ). They said they were really sorry to hear this, I said why are you apologizing it is not your fault. It's the buyer's, Tesco , Sainsburys , and asda have all done the same thing, it is cheaper to wrap the meat this way.. Do you ever hear any one tescoe's meat is brilliant , the answer is NO , you hear tescoe's meat is rubbish, and that is TRUE,”

“My daughter bought a 10ft x6ft shed for her father, when it arrived on Saturday we found that it was almost made of card it was that thin. It's actual measurements were 10ft x 5.5ft and the original cost was just over £600 she got it on sale and with a tesco discount for £263 but to be perfectly honest this was still too much. We have had to buy flooring because the OSB was so thin you could not walk in the shed without it flexing, the plastic windows are so thin you can blew in them and they fall out so I now have to purchase glass to go in. So really she should have kept her money and I could have built a much sturdier shed out of pallets at half the price. I am totally disgusted at the poor quality of the product and would advise anyone wanting to purchase a tesco shed TO GO ELSEWHERE!!!!!!!! This is not worth the reduced price less alone the high original price and think she should be offered her money back.”

“ABSOUTELY APPALLED! I can safely say, I am thoroughly shocked and disgusted with tesco. On speaking with the complaints team today about an incredibly serious situation, we had a complaints team leader LAUGH, be horribly smug, AND PUT THE PHONE DOWN ON ME when I asked for his name and to speak to a manager. Crying on the phone and being so nice, I was thrown aside, ignored, and hung up on. Tesco has now officially lost a customer who spends at least 50 pounds a day with them. I will be going as far with this complaint as I need to, and as far as I possibly can.”

“Neilsea store. I heard management talking about members of staff in a very rude manner. They were questioning staff and being very rude. I heard them slagging off staff which was out of order. Makes for a very negative and unprofessional store. Wouldn't want to shop here again!”

“went to order a sofa & armchair to keep on hold till I got back from holiday but I needed to update my card details. as soon as I did this the order went through & the money taken. I cancelled straight away & received an email saying the order had been cancelled & no money would be taken or showing on my bank statement. on viewing my bank statement I noticed that money had been taken (or held) pending transaction. when I phoned to find out what was going on I was told it would be up to 5 days before the money was refunded. will not use direct ever again, worse thing ever was getting rid of the home stores.”

“My shopping did not turn up so I rang tesco and was told the money did not clear in my bank although the money is in my bank. So was told there's nothing they can do. Brilliant service tesco thankyou I've got a shattered foot so can't drive and need milk for my daughter. What a let down can't even try again take the payment and bring shopping later in the day.”

“Shoes too small for size I will not be ordering from Tesco Direct again - it was my worsed experience dealing with a large company. Firstly refused to collect shoes which I tried to return via courier as this was my method of purchase stating that F & F products could not be returned this way - blatant lie. After which Courier did not turn up first time. The 2nd request for courier I was informed item had already been picked even though I still had item in front of me. Courier eventually turned up 3 hours later to collect then also turned up next day aswell. Very very disappointed with service - I also considering get grocery shop elsewhere as this service had detoriarated in the last 6 weeks”

“Went to pre-order a game at hensford and was told they could do it so had to heathhays. When we arrived there was nobody at the front desk so we waited 5 minuites to be served. When pre-ordering we where told it would be delivered the next day so I had to take the day off work to wait as we were told we needed to sign for it. The next day we phoned up the help office and was told that it isn't though the company that needed a signature and that it will arrive in 5 days even though we had to pay delivery. They did however refund £5 but that only took £2 off the game as the rest was delivery. After using them for the first time I am very disappointed and would recommend going somewhere better then this.”
