love Waitrose, due to your brilliant coffee and paper offer it was in 2018.a no brainer.I could understand the removal of the coffee offer. But at a time pending severe inflation the sudden removal of the newspaper offer is going to hit a lot of your loyal customers really hard . The hardest hit of this measure will be largely elderly retired people. yours sincerely Tony Gilbert.

Hi management team, on 31st January 2022, I went in Balham Waitrose branch to do my food shopping and apparently I happen to see a suspicious shoplifter having 2 expensive Acholol in his hands. As no staff noticed the situation, I immediately told one of the staff about the suspicious customer. The member of staff I approached his name was Gary. And then I left the situation to him to deal with the matter and I carried on doing my shopping. Roughly about 15 minutes time Another a member of staff approached me saying thanks for helping us out saying if it wasn’t for you the shoplifter would of got away £70 worth of acholol. That member of staff her name was Marilyin. Sorry if I spelt her name wrong. Anyway she asked me do I drink acholol or I don’t. And my answer was yes I do drink acholol. And she kindly offered me a free bottle of SAN LEO VINO SPUMANTE PROSCECCO, Prodotto in Italia. Marilyin told me this a free Prosecco bottle reward from us to say thank you for telling us about the suspicious shoplifter. I like to give Gary and Marilyin 10 out of 10 great customers to me for giving me free Prosecco. Please on behalf me as a happy satisfied customer, I hope you management team can give Gary and Marilyin a reward aswell for excellent customers service and kind to help me for giving free Prosecco. My name is Dilesh Shah. Me customer name Dilesh Shah will recommend everyone to shop in Balham Waitrose branch and I will certainly for sure in future aswell. Me customer name Dilesh Shah like to give thumbs up to Balham Waitrose branch for excellent customer service 👍👍👍

I ordered a bouquet of flowers from Waitrose to be delivered to friends for a very special wedding anniversary. Unfortunately I put the wrong address! However the Delivery Driver called me and asked me to validate. I would like to thank Rob for his exemplary customer care a skills. He then called me again to let me know that my friends were home and they had been delivered. Without his initiative they would not have been delivered. Huge thanks Rob.

Completely rude and unhelpful customer service. Missed the delivery slot as the driver did not ring the bell, they called and by the time I was out nobody was there. Called customer service and only thing the woman did was repeating like a parrot “you need to rebook your slot” and then hang up without even letting me speak. Very rude

Waitrose Gardens online plant service - DO NOT USE . Sent a named Rose to a friend in memory of the loss of her mother , the Rose name being the important part it was delivered with no card naming or describing Rose so could be literally anything . Queried this with Nursery who stated can often happen and it was right rose they failed to understand the importance of the naming of the rose - shoddy lazy poor couldn’t care less attitude - who buys unlabelled goods !?!? I still don’t know if it’s the right one they were full of pathetic excuses 😡😡😡

Well I have been doing my shopping in Wantage Waitrose for 10 years I had a extremely stressful and horrendous experience with a deputy duty Manager who was rude aggressive and quite frankly a disgrace!!

Oh My word... I have had an awful visit to the west `ealing Branch. The manager Kevin, he is very very rude. Shame on you Waitrose for employing such a unhelpful and very rude person.

I just wasted half an hour trying to order our Christmas fare for Xmas dinner...get to the checkout and can't pay without selecting a timeslot to collect food. NO timeslots available from now until Christmas! Same with delivery options. So all that lovely food only made it to my virtual trolley! Phoned the shop.... "nothing we can do because it's SO close to Christmas"....thought it was still November! Silly me.

Whilst I appreciate the thinking behind going bagless, it is a nightmare for people like us with limited mobility. Having to bend down and carry often heavy bags into the houses gives us pain which lasts for hours. One of us is clinically very vulnerable and we are not prepared to have people in the house. Reluctantly, I'm being driven back to Ocado.

I am a longtime waitrose customer, and the half shoulder of lamb which I bought was 75% fat which had been recommended by the man behind the meat counter, as he did not have any to sell at the counter. I brought the packaged lamb to him and he said it would be as good as the same that he would have sold on the counter. Just so glad, I hadn't invited any guests for Sunday lunch - tasteless and only enough for just over one serving. Will never risk it again.

I’ve been a regular Waitrose customer for many years. I only started having home deliveries during lockdown. It was great, always on time, cheerful drivers and only rarely we’re items substituted or unavailable. However, this new policy of not providing bags is rather ‘user-unfriendly’, standing on the doorstep having to transfer goods from crates to my own bags. Thankfully I haven’t had to do this in the rain yet! Also, I realize all stores are having supply problems, but so many items are being substituted and many are unavailable. For this downgrade in service we’re now expected to pay £3 for the pleasure! I don’t think so, I’m not Mrs Gullible. It’s a shame but I’m back to shopping in store from now on.

Goodbye Waitrose. Delivering bagless shopping to disabled pensioners isn’t a good idea. One bagless delivery was disastrous and had me a physical wreck and I don’t want strangers walking through to my house to the kitchen to put shopping on the table. I’ve been an online Waitrose customer for years, now I’m shopping with retailers who deliver my shopping in bags or boxes.

my wife and child were followed from start to finish by security in Mountsorrel making the experience extremely disconcerting. Disgraceful racial profiling.

I have been using Waitrose for over 10 years and during that time the delivery driver was always willing to: leave the shopping at the front door in a safe place if I wasn’t home at the time of the delivery, to deliver to my teenage children who are under the age of 18 years as a result of my being infirmed and unable to get out of bed, and to use recyclable bags into which I could carry the shopping into the house in small, manageable lots— which are necessary because I have a bad back. However, Waitrose’s delivery drivers are now prevented by strict enforcement of company policy from doing any of the above. That means that using Waitrose online is now no better than physically going to the grocery store— where you have to put the item in the trolley, take it out of the trolley to check in the belt, and then pay for it, and then place it into a carrier bag yourself; now everything must be handled at least three times— four to unpack it into one’s pantry/fridge. Therefore, the “utility value” of the Waitrose online shopping experience has dramatically dropped to almost zero. No wonder Ocado dropped Waitrose for Marks & Spencer. As a long time customer of Waitrose I called customer service to provide them with some constructive feedback to let them know that these policies are having a very negative effect on the elderly, the physically disabled, or the overwhelmed working parent(s), as well as other of their customers. Waitroses’ policies are making it impossible to do business with them. Of course neither the customer service person or supervisor were enabled to help, nor was there any internal mechanism to provide feedback from customer service into the business process managers of the company . Waitrose’s management seems to be making policy decisions in a vacuum without any consideration of its customers; there appears to be not an ounce of common sense among them! Customer Service Reps are completely helpless and are unable to do anything about it but repeat platitudes and make vacuous apologies. In fact there is no business process within Waitrose that takes constructive comments from its loyal customers and uses those to improve its business processes and procedures. As a result, I am no longer going to custom Waitrose; they have lost my business, and I’m going to make a point of sharing this negative experience with as many people on the Internet as I can possibly muster. I am outraged and concerned for the plight of the elderly and the disabled. How was it possible during the pandemic for procedure to have become more flexible and useful and now all of a sudden things have become completely stayed infixed, calcified to the point becoming completely useless? Moreover could the problem of fraud actually have been so great to have justified the inconvenience of so many of its customers? And just watch; in a few minutes someone from Waitrose will be watching this trust pilot review will simply reiterate the company policy which basically means they’re going to do absolutely nothing constructive. The whole point of the trust pilot reviews to try to encourage companies to make change— not to reiterate the blooming obvious. What exactly does this person who is going to provide the review think they’re going to achieve by simply reiterating the company’s pointless and ineffective policy? Do they hope that they’re going to change my mind or change the minds of any of their disgruntled customers? I would put it to you that the person who will answer this trust pilot response is just a waste of space, and attempt at the company trying to soothe with meaningless words and make inauthentic apologies.
