“I purchased our turkey from Tesco this year and it totally ruined our meal. It was so stringy, just awful. I tried to pull the meat off the legs with my hands to give to the dog and couldn’t get it to come off the bone, dry, tough, stringy. It should be falling off the bone.... After 36 years of cooking Christmas dinner I can honestly say it was the worst turkey we have ever had. Won’t be shopping there again.”
“Received email today stating that an order I was expecting today is out of stock! Out of stock and that took them 5 days to decide that! And decided that on delivery! Will never rely on them again!!!!”
“One star is being generous I ordered a xmas present for my wife it was ment to be delivered today never turned up I rang Tesco customer helpline and they don't even no where it is or even weather or not it will be here by Christmas. Thanks a lot tesco for ruining Christmas.”
“Tesco's online home delivery service...
What a pile of sh*t!
We have been using it for a while now and just about every time there is a problem, damaged goods, almost out of date items, alternative items!
They have topped the icing on the cake now though!!!!
My partners did a big shop earlier today and they gave a time slot between 6-10pm. After 10pm still nothing then she called them, sat waiting on the phone finally got through to be told that they could find the address!!! Wtf...
They have delivered many times before without any issues, she left her mobile number!
To be told next delivery slot is Thursday!
Total joke!!!
She asked for a refund as no goods have been delivered and they said " 3-5working days"...
This is a joke for such a big company such as Tesco's.....
I would definitely avoid them as they are useless and are quick enough to take your money but as for looking after the customer they couldn't give a flighing f*-k.....”
“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.”
“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.”
“It was all going really well I was delighted that I was saving time on what seemed to be a efficient service. Until the recent online order that never turned up. Kids to feed, two days later I'm still waiting for my shopping!!!! Disappointing...”
“Freezer ordered via Tesco. Delivery day advised by outsourced company DPD; daughter accordingly took day off work. Freezer didn't arrive. Tried to contact Tesco but only guaranteed to reply in 48 hours, not much use. Eventually made contact via Twitter DMs - Tesco very apologetic but, astonishingly, DPD wouldn't accede to Tesco's requests to subsequently deliver at convenient time. At one point they told Tesco they'd lost the freezer. Given that they made a big mistake in the first instance DPD have made no apology and have been entirely inflexible. If I was the depot manager I'd be so embarrassed that I would have put it in my car and delivered myself. Astonishing lack of customer service. What is even more astonishing is that Tesco seem to have no control over their service provider. Also get the impression that there is little management or continuity within Tesco customer services as I couldn't get the case escalated or anyone to take sole ownership. Almost two very frustrating and time consuming weeks later I've had to cancel order and get refund.”
“St Helens Linkway store - cafe. Next in the queue to be served when smart looking bloke who was staff member " Rob since 2010" went to the head of the queue and got served. I said there was a queue and he replied with he didn't know whether I wanted food. I said he should have asked. No apology just ignored me. Disgraceful manners from a staff member.”
“Brought a phillips ladyshave for my partner a few months later it over heated and the side blew out. Did try to take it back to store but they had just stopped selling the product
They said to call up the cuter service team was rude and didn't want to help this happened a number of times in the end I gave up trying..
So much for trying to help out there customers and doing the best to help had the phone out down once and both other times they both seem to be havin a bad day sounded grumpy and there was no professional customers service offered...”
“Tesco would not sell me a picture frame because the barcode was not found. I suggested that they charge me a fair price and sell it to me as i liked the frame and i had just spent £220 at their store. Their excuse that 'it may be dangerous and subject to recall' was ridiculous (its a picture frame remember!). Anyway their intractable attitude and belligerence left me heading for the exit, minus my shopping. Another customer lost tesco”
“Been a Tesco credit card customer for many, many years and my latest c Reddit card expired yesterday and have not received a replacement. Now it is so near Christmas I have to wait 7 to 10 days for a replacement. I am so angry about the lack of organisation and care towards loyal customers, I am gone, just applied for an M&S credit card.
Shame on You Tesco”
“APPALLING
after a long day of frankly doing nothing, I went down to my student canteen because honestly, laziness can be hard work. Only to find out they had no carrot cake for pudding, so I thought its okay ill pop to TESCO EXPRESS TO GET SOME.
looking back I see the naivety in my request but honestly, since those 2 hours have past iv grown and come to realise that not all the world is rainbows and butterflies and not all Tescos HAVE CARROT CAKE.
I would just like you to know that you've not just let yourself and me down but you've let the whole country down.”
“Ordered a drone for grandson's Christmas present. Tesco gave a collect time of after 3 pm two days after placing order. On the second day they emailed that item was 'on it's way' and would be ready for collection some time the next day and they would send a text when it was available for collection. We are now almost into day FOUR and still no notification from TESCO. Looks like the two day delivery is only an AFTER two days delivery. Very, very poor service, well below expectations. Shall not be using this poor outfit again soon.”
“I bought an oil filled radiator - it leaked. I asked for a replacement - it was faulty. I asked for it to be collected and waited 7am to 7pm no on came. Next morning I waited around for 6 hours - no one came, no one phoned. I took it back to a store.”
“Garlic and herb spatchcock chicken was vile. Worst chicken I've ever tasted. Hard to pinpoint but something with the seasoning blend and strength that completely overwhelms the meat....the label said it was chicken but could have been any white meat.”
“Went to bury st Edmunds Suffolk to pick up click and collect waited ages then a rude customer assistant said couldn't find parcel so come back another day even thou I had a text to say it was in store. Not helpful assistant at all and really couldn't be bothered.”
“Bought soup mix vegetables came home it was bad.
Contacted head office refused to refund 1.05. £
A Richard said he is a manager and argued with me over the phone for 20 minutes.
Was he lying?”
