Everytime Tesco deliver my shopping atleast 6 products have been substituted for something more expensive. I believe the packers cannot be bothered to look for the items I've ordered so throw in anything.

I think online food shopping is an utterly pointless exercise. If they don't have what you want they just bung in any old thing - and when they do have what you want, you always get what's only just in date. For the cost of the delivery charge you could go to the supermarket yourself, choose what you want and get a cab home!

Tesco may be the biggest supermarket chain but the quality they used to offer is no longer there. Their fruit and vegetables are terrible, their stores offer a poor range and their staff are clueless.

Our main Tesco is going through a major refurbishment at the moment so I have stayed away for some weeks. I have been buying my fruit and veg at the local Co-op and whilst they don't have a huge range the prices and quality have been suprisingly good. I have been doing my other shopping at Somerfield and everything about them is pretty poor.

Sainsbury's products and staff are way superior. In my area anyway.

I agree, Sainsbury's is better but ours is difficult to get to and far away. I can't buy anything frozen there as it will defrost by the time I get it home!

I like to choose what I buy so I don't think I would use online grocery shopping even if it were available to me. I buy practically everything else online though.

I have never tried the on line grocery service, but like you Cherry, I think I prefer to pick my own food out.

Exactly - you don't want any old bunch of bananas that some chimp from the warehouse has shoved in!

I heard the chimp in the banana warehouse got fired for stealing.

And in terms of packing, how is it delivered to you? Tins at the bottom with nothing squashed, or just thrown in the crate any old way?

It comes well packed. All seperated into different bags, fruit, veg, cleaning stuff, petfood, frozen. I cannot complain there but it's when the driver gets out the substituted list it all goes wrong. I never order meat as I know they would send the scraggy looking fatty stuff with the next days date on.

I shop online because I don't have time to go to the supermarket and when I do I can't carry all the petfood and soap powder from where i park my car to my flat.

We only have one Tesco in the whole of my shire! Possibly as a result it is good with decent service. (Yes, I do, Lou in case you wondered about the housing activities).

Maybe it's me, more likely they have to attract from all the Somerfields, Asdas and Morrisons here.
