We use TESCO for a once a week home delivery. If anything goes wrong like finding a too short date which hasn't bee pointed out or finding mouldy fruit thr customers service as been superb. The phone has been answered in a few rings, the person I've spoken to has always been efficient, polite and has provided an immediate refund and apology. Can I add a problem is rare.
When they couldn't deliver because of circumstances beyond d their control we were informed quickly, a £10 voucher against our next shop was given a d a delivery the next day offered.
They even reopened the click and collect when either of us was well and I foolishly booked a click and collect instead of home delivery. When I rang to ask where my delivery was they politely explained and said they would ring back within 15 minutes. They had spoken to the store manager and was told if I could say a time within the next hour they would have my groceries ready at the click and collect (which had closed a hour befire) or they would deliver the next day. I have no complaints at all.

I always complain via the app l ordered on (not sure if all have this facility). Without exception I've been refunded to my satisfaction.

My DD recently phoned Tesco about mouldy fruit and a wrong item in her delivery.
Got through quickly & helpful staff provided refund promptly.

I just saw this on Facebook, tho.

I read recently, not sure if on GN or not, that a lot of companies are just not interested in Customer Care any more.

I had reason to contact my well known supermarket about a discrepancy in my home delivery. I eventually got through to a real person on the phone who was less than helpful. She was not interested in what I had to say as I kept repeating that her response was unacceptable and I remained dissatisfied. So much so that she terminated the call. Next step was to email customer care who to date have not had the courtesy to reply. Why do these big supermarkets not seem bothered when things go wrong. What is the point of a customer care team who clearly don't care. Has anyone else had similar problems?
