“Still waiting for the store to get back to me about my order it was due yesterday and I had a call yesterday before two o’clock yesterday and was promised a call but nothing heard and no call today yet and you can not call the store my order number is 22487900216”
“Delivery asda do not listen to complaints. The do not substitute products as required. If they do the eg. Substitute a cucumber for a lettuce.
This is my experience of asda Eastbourne. Frankly they don't give a dam or even call you back to discuss”
“I am not impressed with your customer service you called me before two o’clock today and said that there was a issue with the vans and you asked me if I could come and collect the order I told you I could not as no one can drive in our house for medical reasons,so you said you would call me back to let me know what is happening and when I am going to get my order and you have still not got in touch with me and because of your new system I can not call the store at all my store is Asda Filton I am not impressed with the customer service please call me tonight we are three vulnerable customers and I am a carer for two people In my house and my husband is high risk”
“Ignorant manager Linda who i was told by that my behaviour was intimidating when i was querying why we weren't allowed to purchase fireworks if one of us didn't present ID when I visited this store with my brother; dismissive of the query I was making behind Asdas poor policy logic. Very condescending when we left the store as she waved goodbye with an attitude problem. Male security officer with shoulder length hair and woman at kiosk also both unprofessional and obnoxious. Kiosk woman patronising us about presenting id, speaking to us like we were children, telling us "Of course you have ID(!)" and security on duty giving his input that we were wasting our breath when we asked to speak to a manager and then telling me to calm down when I told him his opinion wasn't what I asked for. Very aggressive tone and body language, acting as if he was protecting Beyoncé on her world tour! Rude unfriendly staff overall. Never returning again!!!
Also, manager Linda quick to make out as if we were intimidating when she herself was behaving rude and playing very tactful games rather than resolving the problem at hand! Shocking behaviour and poorly trained staff.”
“MY BIKE STOLEN at OLD KENT ROAD ASDA! Never expect this happen to me. I chained my bike at the parking area and 30 minutes later the chain cut off my bike gone. There’s no CCTV at the parking area, all video surveillance only for thieve and steals in store (you can imagine it’s the poorest area in London). And the security guys don’t look after parking area at all. I left my bike exactly where ASAD recommends me,but the duty manager contemptuously told me it’s my own risk. SHAME! Real respectful and trustworthy businesses like Waitrose suffers in this great country while ASDA expanding its business and don’t care about the society at all. Totally BAD SHOPS DRIVE OUT GOOD SHOPS.”
“Went in to Asda perrybarr rude staff security man Asian with a beard just standing around chatting to a small Asian girl I asked them for help but she rudely told me that she was speaking and couldn’t help me and that u had to wait to be served at the customer service desk she really needs to learn customer skills if they want to flirt they should do it in there own time not in work time will not be shopping in store again Untill the issue is sorted you”
“Placed an order to be delivered on October 3rd, which I then cancelled, the order was delivered anyway which I refused, I immediately called, as Asda had taken the money out of my account, I was reassured a refund would be processed. I called again on the 7th as I still had not received my refund, again I was assured that this will now be processed as It was not requested previously, I was told I would receive a confirmation e-mail and refunded within 4-5 days. On the 16th still nothing, called again only to be told the same thing. I called 4 times on the 23rd as I kept being told the system was down and again reassured that this has now been escalated. Asda have now had my money for 3 weeks, it is the worst customer service I have ever received I dread calling them, as they say that they will action Something But actually don’t, they just seem to want to get you off the phone. When I asked to speak with a manager I was transferred to payroll who could not help me, does anyone have any suggestions of where I go from here please.”
“Awful, 75% of the order missing but only informed when it is too late to cancel. Not refunded for days so can’t even do an do the shop in store. Ridiculous system, never have any of these issues when ordering from another supermarket.”
“Well I have been going to Asda in Ashton Manchester every Thursday now so far this year and so far in the last few months and in the last 3 weeks recently I’ve been treated absolutely atrociously. Not only that but I cannot even complain about it because there are conveniently no ways to get in touch! Tried calling the number but it tells me to contact them on the website. I go on the website and it tells me to ring their number! It’s a joke!
Anyway
Here’s what happened specifically. The last story is the worst one of all.
A women cut in front of me in a queue. I let it go but the woman started an argument with me. When staff came they refused to let me have my groceries because they sided with the woman over me even though she was at fault.
I got a pizza slice from the cafe and it was instantly cold because the woman serving me left it out in the cold air whilst continuing to serve me and I was having problems with my fathers credit card to pay. When I asked for a new one or for it to be heated up she actively blamed me for why it went cold. She said it’s because I kept walking away and back again. That was because I had to go get another card in order to pay and you left it out whilst I did so moron!
Then when another woman called Jane came with the rest of our food she openly chastised me for not saying please and thank you as if I were a child! It spoiled my day.
Too many kids screaming and banging the booths in the cafe.
But these were mild in comparison to the final offence. All of this happened 3 Thursdays in a row that I went there.
Today I was there to pick up my very important inhaler from the chemist which i has ran out of and could barely breathe.
One of the chemist staff named Tim mason had taken a dislike to me months ago and it was because of this that the entire staff refused to serve me and told me I had to go get it from somewhere else. So I went mad because now I’d have to spend more money on a taxi and inconvenience myself to go all the way across town to the next nearest pharmacy in concord way when they could’ve just handed me the darn bag right there and then! As you can imagine I was furious! I did write a letter of complaint but have nowhere to post it. Abysmal service.
As you can imagine I shall not be stepping foot nor spending another dime in that terrible store”
“Today I did a click and collect at the Asda store at Horwich Bolton. I feel that I must express my concern at the service I received as I did this due to the fact that I am in my 70s and as i am vulnerable, i am being extremely careful with shopping during Covid 19. My slot was between 4 and 5 and I arrived at 4.05. I was told to wait in the doorway which would have been fine had my order been available to take to my car. However, it wasn't and I waited 15 minutes during which time a flow of people walked past me putting me in a very precarious position. I would have had less contact had I shopped in store. This completely defeated the object of doing click and collect. Surely it would make more sense to have dedicated parking spots close to the store entrance so that staff can bring it out to your car. This would avoid unnecessary contact with both staff and the general public. When I expressed my concern I was told that only 1 customer at a time could be dealt with. Fair enough, I was in no hurry but don't put me at risk by making me stand where every customer exiting the store has to pass me! Its a free service I know but on this occasion I really should have shopped in store so that I could avoid all customers who were in my vicinity. I would rename this 'service click, wait and collect.' It needs revamping drastically as it is currently not as described and I for 1 will not be using it again.”
“Non existent customer service. Cancelled online order but couldn’t be bothered telling us. We phoned them but they said order would come later(it didn’t) Phoned next day and was told we’d get an email to reschedule (we didn’t). Find out eventually that Asda cancelled the order without even contacting us despite them being aware I’m on the vulnerable list.”
“Incredibly awful service. Online order never arrived. No contact from Asda so telephoned customer services who gave a new delivery time that conveniently was exactly the same time as their phone lines closed. Delivery never arrived. Phoned the next day and was promised an email to arrange a new delivery time. Never arrived and looked on Asda online and it said my order was cancelled. No explanation or apology from Asda despite them being aware that I’m on the vulnerable list.”
“I went to my local store at Clacton-on-Sea I thought I get pizza that was made up 2 women behind the counter we're like joined at their hips not a face mask on and standing close to each other and put in food on the pizzas with their bare hands should have gloves on it's like the staff can do what they want as Joe public have to go by the rules so why is ASDA staff different would a shop there again no now the two brothers who have bought ASDA's should check out it's store's where staff do not wear face masks stop the money at the staff wages as they will only do it once”
“I was in the dome Asda in Doncaster in my wheelchair .
I asked a young man called Adam to pass me something off the shelf
He said " Carnt you see I'mF'ing busy busy doing my work
I just went out bought nothing but my bill usually is 150£ there loss
Will never go again went to morrisons”
“Asda yet again have let me and my family down I tried to order Asda cauliflower rice and it has been out of stock for weeks now and Asda cauliflower rice does not contain rice at all but Asda keep offering me the same alternative which is Asda steamed rice which is not the same and two adults in our house can not eat rice big let down again”
“Placed an online food order a hour before it I was due I was called to say the driver had gone sick ! And that I had to call another number to reschedule my shopping delivery !!! The number I was given was wrong it took another 10 minutes to get back through to Chatham Asda , was given another number ! Then told it was down to Asda Chatham to arrange another delivery or refund !! Will not be use Asda again I was given wrong information told I had to wait 5 days for a refund”
“Made online grocery order of £203. Checked my account on day of delivery and they have taken 4 more multiple payments out totalling over £800! It appears that every time I amended my order they just stuck another pending payment in my account.
Pending I thought so it won't be processed but oh no it was!
This left me with a balance of just £270.
Contacted customer services 3 times all of them rude, with incoherant pigeon English and unhelpful, one was even chewing gum and heard someone whistling in the background!
I was shocked at their manner and unprofessional, flippant immature approach. One of them was more interested in telling me what a lovely name HE had rather than sort my problem out. Just weird!
Eventually received an email saying I will be refunded £400 in 3-5 days and asked to take a screen shot if there were any other pending transactions which there are!
So I'm left with £270 in my account and a family with one income plus a disabled child but Asda couldn't care less.
Fuming! Contacted CEO to complain, heard nothing. Had another order booked for following week which I've cancelled. Would rather starve will never use them again.
Mel Flack”
“Having placed an order for delivery ASDA made their usual pending payment request, but not satisfied with that they made a 2nd pending request later the same day, upon realising the payments had been duplicated I contacted customer service, who made a big effort to apologise and said that immediately after delivery the repayment of the 2nd pending and any shortfall would be reversed with my bank, delivery made no reversal, they now say up to 5 working days, whilst I am not in need of the funds immediately I does strike me that they have removed access to my monies for a period of 7 days, without any care that should i need the money to pay a bill I will maybe get charged for late payment etc, if in this modern era a company the size of ASDA cannot do an immediate refund, as amazon does, and Sainsbury’s then maybe there new owners should look at reviewing there customer charter,.”
“Just visited Asda in Shipley. There seemed to be a complete disregard for wearing face coverings in this branch with many of the customers not bothering!! On leaving, I asked the security guys about this, a shrug of the shoulders said it all. If Asda can't be bothered to politely remind customers, then I can't be bothered to shop there.!”
