Purchased a pay as you go sim, initial top-up was online, Tesco CS, when contacted will only accept security questions based on the phone account which failed to initiate as Tesco failed to issue the required Pin to allow the system to activate. When you apply to them they will not deal with you as they hide behind stating that its GDPR rules this is an insult to the general public by trying to state Tesco policy is GDPR they are not the same. They hide the fact that when you make such purchase they provide online payment via PayPal, this removes Tesco from requiring to issue any refund as you are no longer covered by the consumer act as PayPal are the paying customer, not you. To regain a refund from PayPal this involves you incurring call charges to the US or admin charges to return your monies, both Tesco and PayPal are aware that for refunds of monies £10-30 customers will not follow through as it cost more to get the monies back. This is a legal loophole and corporate scam which Tesco should clearly display and note on their online system as they offer no alternative other than PayPal even as a guest customer to pay. Tesco would not be a shop that I could recommend and ask shoppers to be aware of what Tesco don't print on the website. This site also limits your feedback as you can only select one area of previous communication I have used Live Chat, email, call and contacted the CEO all to no avail as they use the hidden GDPR mince and PayPal as their get out of refund clause, Has shopping really become so poor that corporate companies have resulted to what is basically obtaining monies through false pretences

I have used the click and collect service a few times now and despite the usual oddly-chosen substitutions my last visit was a shambles. I arrived at Tesco's at around 6.10/6.15 and did not leave until 7pm. If I wanted to spend 45 minutes doing my shopping I would of gone in and done it myself! When I arrived there was a queue and I patiently waited. The lady serving everyone (although she was polite) was only serving the first car under the canopy, meaning we had to wait for them to pack their shopping themselves whilst she clearly could have been serving the second car as well. The first car was packing their items whilst she was just standing there, only when they left did she serve the second car and just stood there again. Surely it would be sensible to have two cars being packed at the same time? After 7 of us now in the queue finally got to the second spot when the lady decided to have a mothers meeting with the customer in front of me. Do we really need to be having mothers meetings when people have got other things to do ? I think there are meeting places for those kind of things. 5 minutes later when she decided to start work again they were served, after another quick chat I got in. Whats the point of click and collect if I could do my own shopping (and get the products I want) in a short time frame?? The lady also asked me to switch off my car engine, we can sit there for 45 minutes yet she can't be near our engine when she tries to have a mothers meeting? I complained to Tesco who confirmed that the staff member should be serving two people however didn't say my 45 minute wait was unacceptable! and said they would give me a £10 coupon to shop there again... I don't think so !!!!!

I purchased the new pizza company meal deal £10 I expected it to be very similar to dominos but cheaper value as the brand and packaging looked really good. Except when we took it home and opened the pizza box it was not what it said on the packet. It states fully loaded pizza yet there was the smallest shaving of cheese that hardly even cover the pizza and the smallest amount of toppings that didn't cover quarter of the pizza. I wanted to take it back there and then but decided just to try it anyway. Well the meal did not get eaten it was awful a massive disappointment and con. I feel lied to. scammed.

I ordered my baby's milk powder on 1st Jan which was supposed to get delivered on 8th Jan evening. I got the text in the afternoon of 8th stating delivery window for my order. After couple of hours got a call from Bletchley store in Milton Keynes that they are not going to deliver my order. Not even tomorrow!! Called customer services and they said there was no delivery last night so store cancelled the order!! This is ridiculous. My baby's food has run out now and i have to rush to the store in this cold to get her milk powder. If Tescos are going to continue service like this, don't know how many customers will still use them? So, if you reallt want to buy something and get it delivered then tesco is not the place for you. They just play a game where there is no actual transfer of goods!! And yes they do charge for the delivery, then also they don't want to deliver- how nice!!

Since Tesco is trying to force their own pasta brands on customers I have no alternative but to go to another shop! Tesco pasta is absolutely rubbish! No way I'll buy those! Zero stars to Tesco. Same for the meat or fish counter they have. Not fresh at all and the fish section is mostly from frozen! Shame on YOU TESCO! RIP OFF!

Found a dead Cockroach in my fruit punnet. Absolutely disgusting and Tesco couldn’t care less.......makes me wonder what type of environment our food is prepared/packed in, because I know for sure it isn’t a clean one!

On numerous occasions I purchased supposedly fresh foods and found that the refrigerated truck had actually frozen the product. Tesco is going down hill and at the small stores charging a fortune. We where better off without you.

I ordered a delivery but unfortunately had a slip on the stairs as it arrived. The driver rang me, I explained and asked me if I needed an ambulance. I replied no . Within 5 mins I was laying on my sofa. The next thing I know I have 2 policemen and a paramedic walking into my up stairs lounge when the house was locked. How would you feel about that??? This was all as a result of Tesco! It happened on 13/11/18 but no answers to any questions raised. They claim they didn't break into my house but they rang the emergency services. What a waste of their time. I had 5 policemen here and a paramedic!!! The emergency services should sue them for wasting their time!! Nothing could get any worse I'll order my deliverer ids from elsewhere in the future!! Message is don't bother with Tesco online they just don't care about their customers.

Tesco is a good shop but delivery drivers are lunatics. Phillip Street in Hoole is 20mph Not 60mph.

I have ordered party sandwich platters to collect tomorrow . At 10am today they rang me to say they were not available and could not swap to different ones as I had missed the lead time they need for an order but it us ok to cancel my order when I now have no chance of ordering elsewhere. They suggested buying packets of sandwiches and cutting in half- that just added insult to injury. Remember just because you ordered it they do not have to keep their part.
