Grrr - Online Shopping

[sherrardk]

I always get my shopping delivered on a Sunday. Got the usual email today saying that my shopping would be here between 11 and 12 and duly got on with the stuff that needed doing. 1.20 and still no shopping, rang them, on hold for 20 bloody minutes, to be told that my order had been cancelled!! (Payment didn't go through for some reasons). What I'm really hacked off about is that they didn't contact me to tell me (plus the fact that I then had to go bloody shopping). Grrr!!!

i hate shopping

[sherrardk]

Me too (that's why I get it delivered).

[black_cat51]

Shopping for food is so demoralising. I do ours online, but even have to push myself to do that!

Yeah, a phone call wouldn't have hurt for gawds sake, I'd think about changing shops for that, sherr.

That's bad... Could have called you. Who do you use? I started using Ocado about 6 weeks ago and love it! Used to hate going round the supermarket.

I have the food shopping sorted, 15 minutes tops but today has really hacked me off. Couldn't even let the kids out on their bikes as I knew a van was due to arrive (we live in a cul de sac and there are only four houses past ours and they are aware that kids might be out playing). Really hacked me off.

I told them on the phone I was considering changing shop (and in the stroppy email) but I am use to the website and products so it would could be hassle to change (I use Asda and they are the cheapest around here for groceries).

It's not laziness it's common sense. £15 for three months deliveries (cost me more than that in diesel), don't have to take the kids and bore them rigid and I can see how much I am spending and change my order if it goes over my self-imposed budget. Also, I don't have to interact with anyone else which suits me just fine.

i think the point is there will never come a "wanted to" time!

[sherrardk]

No, it would have been easier for the shopping to have been delivered as it was supposed to be. I didn't plan on going shopping at all, that's the whole point of getting your shopping delivered.

i don't think not enjoying shopping is laziness (that's probably because i don't enjoy it either)

There is no way that I could lug bags of cat litter up the stairs and I have no problem getting the Tesco people to do it for me.

I can also buy items that our local Tesco Metro don't stock.

It is an ideal service for me.

[sherrardk]

It's a real git getting a week's worth of shopping for seven people in a trolley without squishing stuff.

It certainly isn't laziness... I don't drive, my hubby would have to take me and the kids shopping every week, kids would moan, hubby would moan!
It's not lazy to choose to do online shopping and have it delivered.. It's common sense! Lol

[sherrardk]

Scrivens - why is it laziness? I choose not to go shopping using a more convenient, time efficient method instead plus I don't have to drive my diesel guzzling car to the shop. My method (when it works) is cheaper, time saving and just more efficient.

...when it works!
