Don't purchase anything from Tesco's Direct, Poor Customer Service!
I will never ever shop with Tesco's direct ever again! I ordered a swing and slide play centre for my little one and the delivery was damaged, phoned up Tesco's direct promptly to arrange re-delivery. Specified a Saturday delivery and never heard back from Tesco's Direct. Saturday went by, no delivery and none the wiser about where my order was! Phoned up Tesco's Direct and they had no idea what was happening with my order. I was given the option to fill in a Tesco's online questionnaire about my recent purchase, which I never received. I voiced my opinion on how terrible the service was and this prompted a Tesco's customer service representative to call me. I explained how the whole ordeal has given me no confidence in Tesco’s Direct and that I will never shop with them again. I was told that Tesco's Direct had changed their courier company to Arrow XL (probably the worst management decision) and how they have a back log of orders and they were at fault! The item at this point was no longer in stock, I was given the option to wait for when the item was back in stock or cancel my order. It would have been a nice gesture to have given me the option to replace my order with the next item up the price range. I was compensated with £30 credit for all the trouble that I was put through, which personally I don't think makes up for the time spent chasing Tesco's Direct on updates with my order and waiting for redelivery, which was a waste of a whole day. I cancelled my order with Tesco's Direct and reordered the same item for the same price with Asda Direct! Asda Direct kept me updated with my order as soon as it left their warehouse, gave me tracking information and emailed/text messaged exactly when my order will arrive. I was actually surprised that one of the 4 boxes was delivered by Arrow XL without any glitches. Tesco’s Direct has lost a customer and Asda Direct has gained one.
