“At the checkout, the price for an item that I was buying showed as greater than than advertised on the shelf. I pointed this out to the checkout operator who responded by saying "what do you expect me to do about it?" I asked her to have the price checked and she said she couldn't as there as there was no one to do this. I pointed out 2 people walking by (wearing Tesco name badges) and she said they didn't work there. She eventually did call someone who checked and it was sold to me at the price advertised on the shelf.”
“I placed an order for a sofa in October. I was provided with a delivery date in December, so I took a days annual leave, emptied the lounge, took the old sofa to the top and they didn’t turn up. I received an apology to say it was going to be the next day. Again I took another days annual leave and they didn’t turn up. I received another apology saying they’d received information that the sofa wasn’t even at the local depot and they didn’t know when delivery was going to be.
I was so disappointed I told them to cancel it.
I then didn’t receive my full refund for another 2wks later.
I contacted the CEO to voice my complaint and received a bog standard ‘sorry’ letter from Melanie Watts with no offer of compensation or good will gesture, despite the knowledge that we were left with an empty lounge over the festive period (with grandparents coming to visit and nowhere to sit but the floor)! However, she did wish me a Merry Christmas.”
“When i first moved to kingsthorp had to get 2 buses there and 2 back, but sooner do that than go to the local Asda. Had more than one bad experience, there, especially if you take something back. Tesco though, cant apologise enough and will do all they can to put it right.. They excelled themselves the other week, did some shopping paid, then left trolley outside toilets, came back out went to car, loaded shopping and went home, it wasnt until later i realised, whole bag of shopping missing. Thats it gone. Anyway the next time i went to Tesco told customers services, my own fault, but maybe its on video so it doesnt happen to somone else. They said thanks and would have a look. just about to walk away and the young lady says, i dont suppose you can remember what was in the bag, funnily enough i could, it was all meat products, still got the receipt. Go and get it again, then come back here. I said again, it was my own silly fault. Thats ok. So went and got it again. 20 odd £s of shopping all replaced.. Its a nice bright, clean store, the staff are lovely nothing is to much trouble, and if you do a virtual shop with branded products, they are the cheapest. Oh and whoever thought up the shop and scan deserves a medal. thats brilliant, so quick and easy. One more thing, used to live Top Valley Nottingham and always shopped at Tesco, if i visit family always call in to get a few bits. The staff there also are a credit to Tesco.”
“I bought 3 toy items on the 3 for 2 promotion. One of the items was for my nephews Christmas present but I found out he already had this gift. I went online and bought another toy for a similar price. I then presumed that I could refund the newer item and exchange that for the duplicated gift. The store advised I would need to get the refund online. I contacted customer services and was advised that as I had got the duplicated gift as the free item, if I returned this item I would not get a refund. I advised that I didn't want to refund I just wanted to exchange for the other item I had bought online. I spoke to a Manager and he said the same thing. So lesson learnt I will not buy any online products from Tesco again as it appears that their refund policy is not as easy as it states on the website.”
“This was my first experience of Tesco delivery service. The experience went swimmingly until I found they had sent the wrong white wine. I telephoned customer services and was told in no uncertain terms that I had ordered what I had received and if I wanted to change it I could carry it to my local store and deal with it. The attitude of this man was so brusque, unhelpful and totally without sympathy it was breathtaking. The only reason I used the 'service' was because I had just had surgery and couldn't carry heavy goods! Ocado, or Sainsbury next time”
