tescos online

they will come off your bill when the order is delievered. Check your reciept when you recive goods

I believe Tommy's a frequent user.

Whether he knows anything about Tesco I'm not sure.

& make sure you choose the option not to substitute the cheap offers as their usual trick is to say they are out of stock and replace them with the more expensive items ;)

they come off the bill when its delivered

its because you may have picked an offer that ends today, but if you get ir delivered tomorow the offer would have finished

dont worry i order online all the time and never had any problems, just check the date the offer ends if you are using them

got yer cheers, i was getting myself a bit wound up just before

seen this scam used by morrissons as weel though on the old 2 for £3

I can confirm all the above is true.
The amount will be deducted on your deliverey invoice.
I'm a big user of Tesco Online and think its's a brilliant service.

I will give Sparkmaster a 'lol', even if no-one else will.

ahhhhh....sweet lol.....

watch out for near to sell by dates

I always post on individual perishable goods: 'longest sell by please' and have no problem, Coach.

You can leave a note, with any item you order. It's very useful, eg size of carrots, whiteness of pickled onions and the above.

They must love you...

"Oh, here's one from Mr Fecking off-white pickled onions!"

They do, Sparkster!
They even gave me their own personal 'inner sanctum' dot com telephone number!

is it a telephone number or a dot com?

No, very white, smallish, pickled onions, thanks.

!

They call the online service 'dot com' at Longton.
I can 'phone straight through to them about any queries rather than go through the national 'phone number helpline.
They're brilliant in there (Longton) and always do me proud with any problem I've ever had.

Surely pickled onions...I mean...you're buying a jar, they don't come loose. Do you imagine they look in all the jars of the brand you've ordered and try to work which has the smallest and whitest?

Well, that's what I do!
So far, it looks like they do too!

As I said earlier, it's a brilliant service.

- and I've been using them for about 5 and a half years now.

Funnily enough, I had an e-mail earlier asking me to take part in a survey about their online service.
I gave them top marks on every category.

"Alright lads, another order. It's come over the phone from Mr Toes. Definitely better we gave him the number as last time he tried to order online we lost aisles 7-10. Anyway, he wants a 700g box of Kellogg's cornflakes.............oh wait there's some more, he wants the edges to br crinkly but not THAT crinkly"

"Get opening them boxes boys"

sounds OK, but nothing beats going round the supermarket in person and being able to peep down womens cleavages while theyre bending over to select fruit the veg .

Very funny Sparky!

Coach, I detest shopping and the local Tesco store to me wouldn't be able to offer even half the range of the goods I can get online.

The time spent trawling along the aisles, loading the goods on the conveyor belt, packing the shopping, loading it into a taxi, then unloading it and unpacking it, would, I reckon, take me about a 4 hour trip and £9 taxi charge.

With the online site, I can get fresher produce that I'd never get at the local store, far more selection, and all I have to do is put it away. Saving me all those hours and at the very least, £3 (out of the £9) even if I order a delivery at the dearest slot.
Most of the time, it only costs about £3.50.

It's just the best thing I've ever done online.

Not better than stoketwinks.com surely?

I work in a dotcom department if you have any questions :)

Tommy, supermarkets can be a bit of a menace when time is against you .

I like to get out of the house once every blue moon though :D

Joe, that's a very good point.

With the online site you can go straight to your 'favourites' so avoid overspending on unnecessary items you might be tempted by when you're walking around a shop.
Of course, you can still access special offers, but if you don't want to, you don't have to.
I really can't praise the service highly enough.

Good point Coach!
But you probably wouldn't want to bother with Tesco Hanley!

dunno who in their right mind would do their shopping with everyone else at the supermarket.

One thing that happens alot which is frustrating is when a customer has ordered 1 item of a buy 1 get 1 free deal. obviously assuming we'd then put 2 in the basket. but if the customer has selected just 1 that's all we can scan. if we put 2 in it would then be eventually registered as missing stock. So if you see a buy1 get one free ask for 2!!

nopeeeeee. the bosses know if you have sub'd something that was instock and u get a bollocking for it if u havnt gone and looked. as there bosses give them strict percentages on all of that shlt :)

Rachrose, the site tells you to order 2 if it's a 2 for 1 offer, so they only have themselves to blame if they don't do so.

Ethical question

Does one tip the delivery driver?

Not in Stoke.

That's the tip...

would seem unfair to tip the drivers when the people who actually picked your shop and sometimes routed through the walk in freezers and fridges in the warehouse just to find your choc cornettos dont benefit. The drivers have merely cruised around listening to their tunes and lifted a box to your door.

what are the delivery slots like?
within a certain hour or 2 hours etc?

Funnily enough, the last couple of Christmas deliveries I've had I wanted to tip the driver, but on both occasions, some unknown women, who weren't as strong as chip shop vinegar, who just dumped it on the step has delivered.
Not the 'usual' blokes who come during the year and always offer to bring it in the kitchen - so no tip from me.

Within 2 hours, GI

ok thanks

From earlier *have delivered

Good point Rachrose.

A 24hr pickled onion hotline, stop the world - I want to get off!

I always think about the staff actually picking the order, as they're the ones doing the donkey work.
From my experience, they're brilliant.
I even had one bloke 'phone me up as he was in the wine department looking for what I'd ordered and telling me about the state of play.

Very funny HRH!

thats refreshing to read tommy toes. we NEVER get any positive feedback from customers, just regular complaints about a slight dent on a tin, when we figure you'd rather have that then none if it's the last left and 1 of the 10 apples having a little bruise on it. and even complaining things they ordered didnt arrive when you have a clear memory of having got that item. im enjoying this, it saves on ever needing a shrink.

Rachrose, I LOVE Tesco dotcom!
- and on the infrequent occasions I've had to 'phone them about a query, I've always told them how much I appreciate their help/service, as they've always sorted it out double pronto.

I'm a firm believer in praising people when they're good - and not just whinging when things aren't as they suit you.
99% of the time (I would imagine) it's the customer's fault for not being specific in their requests.
That's what the 'leave a note' thing is there for.
