“Every little helps”…remove the E at the start and S at the end and you have… “very little help” which is what we got from Tesco last week! Although our holiday in the Lake District was fabulous and we had an amazing week, it didn’t get off to the best start due to being let down by Tesco. We had booked a delivery for between 5pm and 6pm the evening we arrived. We arrived at the house we were staying in at approx. 4:30pm and the updates on the app were saying the delivery was expected on time. Shortly after 5pm there was an update to say the driver was running slightly late, this was fine with us at this point. This was then updated further to say the driver would be about half an hour later than expected… this wasn’t too bad as we understood the area is a little difficult to get to. A little later, the app updated again to say the driver was running late but updates are currently unavailable. We thought this seemed a bit strange and it started to get later and later and there was still no further updates. I then contacted customer service and spoke to a man named Danny and I have to admit, it left me questioning whether he is suited to a customer service role. I explained what had happened and he said he would look into what was going on and see if I can find out where the driver is. After placing me on hold for a few moments he said our order had failed to be delivered. I explained we were in a holiday home and had just arrived so we were waiting on the shopping this evening for dinner that evening and the majority of what we would be needing for the week. He then said he would find out why the delivery was unsuccessful and put me on hold again. After a few minutes, he informed me the driver had run out of legal drive time. This seemed a bit ridiculous to me especially seeing as I had not been contacted at all and the only info I had was the updates within the app which as explained above, stopped once it got to a certain point. I was quite frustrated and explained that with respect this was not my problem and I needed something to be done to resolve this. He then placed me on hold again to see what could be done. After another few minutes he came back to say the delivery wouldn’t be able to go out again until tomorrow. I then explained again that we were waiting on stuff that was needed for that evening and asked them if they could send someone out with it this evening or even put it in a taxi to bring it to us. He simply said they don’t do that and there is nothing else he can do. I then complained that this is not the service I expect and on an almost £300 order, I definitely do not expect these sort of problems. I asked why I was not contacted sooner and all he said was that my phone number was not provided (I had already checked the order info and knew it was and it is also all over my Tesco account info). He said he could offer a £20 gesture of good will voucher and get it re delivered. I was not happy with this as we still needed a lot of the shopping that evening. I explained this and the attitude I got was of someone who didn’t really care and as if I was in the wrong for getting frustrated about it. I asked if we could go and collect it from wherever it was and after placing me on hold again he confirmed this was possible. I requested a discount on the order for the inconvenience as well as the fuel we used to make a 90 minute round trip to collect. All he could say was no he will not be able to do that. For someone who is supposed to be there to help, he gave one of the worst impressions I have ever had from a leading supermarket brand! In the end we proceeded to drive 90 minutes in total to collect our shopping and the nice man who met us at the collection point, was the only thing that slight redeemed Tesco, he told us that we should not have had to drive all that way when it was the complete fault of the driver who had failed to deliver. He also apologised profusely for the service I received from Danny and was shocked himself that no refund/compensation was offered aside from a £20 voucher and helped us load our shopping into the car. I never usually have a problem with Tesco but I was disgusted at the service I was given by their “customer service” team, especially regarding such a large value order and the state of the cost of living currently!

Update on Tesco fraud. I have now taken legal advise. Results I was told I cannot take Tesco to the small claims court as on each overcharge they refunded the overcharge and I am not out of pocket. I was also told that it is a waste of time talking to my MP as they have no power over trading standards. I was also told, that what I told him, athat this is a serious fraud and the only way forward is to take action against there CEO Ken Murphy in legal proceedings. He told me this will cost thousands of pound and take many months to come to a resolution. Finally he advised me ways of getting funding to take this action. Will update as soon as this is resolved

Update on Tesco fraud. After months waiting for trading standards to take action I have been told that they will not tell me what action they will be taking if any. It is pointless reporting to trading standards as you will never be informed of any progress. So now I will have to get my member of parliament involved to get things changed. If no action was taken then Tesco can get away with what I believe to be fraud. Update when I get some information

TESCO advertise the Parent & Student Top Up card service, so I bought one sounds simple enough I have a card which I top up credit, my son has a card & uses it to purchase groceries while at Uni, the only problem being that absolutely no-one at any Tesco store has ever heard of this product they promote- let alone the ability to put credit/ money top up on it :( Don't bother with the hassle complete waste of time I tried x5 stores not one person had a feckin clue what I was talking about :(

I was in Tesco in Brent park and you have quality streets and celebrations on special. There was someone filling there trolley with them who probably has a shop to sell them ok on I think that should not be allowed but not one member of staff was stopping him. Outrageous

Follow up. The last five deliveries I have had I have been overcharged five pounds each time. Reported to trading standards. They know about it but carried on overcharging. Again is this fraud.
