Who regularly has home delivery and which supermarket do you use?
How would you rate the whole experience...delivery (ease of getting a suitable time slot, and cost) substitutions, quality of fruit & veg, any other comments?
Thanks

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I use Sainsburys sometimes. I find them very good but I never buy fruit or veg that way. I like to see the fruit and veg for myself , not trust someone else to do it on my behalf. The time slots are good, drivers, friendly and helpful. It's handy for heavy or bulky items. If substitutions are offered , you don't have to accept. You will receive a credit to your a/c.
If I go shopping in person I use Morrisons. Home delivery I use Tesco.
They are usually very good (Tesco) but yesterday....oh my...so so found it hard to bite my tongue.
I ordered a packet of ciggs and apparently you have to sign for them separately. Well....he couldn't find them and had me going through every bag looking for them (considering I opted for the no bag option) I almost had my whole shopping emptied in my porch. When I started taking the shopping to my kitchen he had the cheek to ask me "are you sure they aren't in there"

Hi ethandron I use Tesco home delivery when I need a lot of shopping. I always choose their £1 slots which I can usually find at the time that's convenient for me. You do have a choice of whether you would want a substitute on every item and there is also space to leave a comment for your picker. I recently ordered an unsmoked gammon joint, but because they didn't have one, they sent smoked, so I told delivery man I didn't want it and it's no problem. When I ordered it the next week I said I would accept a substitute but then left a message for the picker to say 'Please don't choose smoked.' Sometimes they substitute with something of a higher value but you don't pay the extra. Th delivery man brings it into the kitchen and unpacks it for me and they are always very pleasant. Sorry I can't advise on fruit and veg as I don't buy either of these fresh. There is a minimum shop of £25 or else they add £4 to your total but I have no problem spending that on a big shopxx
i use tesco for a once monthly delivery of the heavy stuff, if you don't mind the odd hours then you can get a delivery for as little as £1. To me its worth paying so i don't have to lug bags of cat litter about. With tesco you have a min order of £25 or they add £4 i think it is to your basket.
to bhg481 - you are talking about a very different time, things are not the same, the customer would of had to go to the shop to place their order & their overheads would of been a lot cheaper. From what i understand the home delivery service doesn't make the supermarkets any money because of the associated costs.

My delivery came about 45 minutes ago, no substitutions and a very polite delivery man.
My concern was the fresh fruit and veg but apart from two of the seven bananas, the rest of the fruit and veg is what I would have picked myself.
I was just going to use this service for a few weeks, due to circumstances, but if it continues to be as successful then I may keep it going, it's well worth the £1 I've paid.

I've used several. Stopped using Tesco when they cheated me on price. Waitrose and Sainsbury's I've found very satisfactory, especially the latter. All three gave fresh stock (not close to sell-by as often thought), booking slots was easy, and I always specified NO SUBSTITUTIONS after experiencing unsatisfactory selections (which admittedly I could and did turn away at the door).
Supermarkets need to cover their petrol used & pay staff that are employed to deliver. Having said that I think they could bring the delivery price down. Asda send a questionnaire out after delivery on how satisfied you are & do you have any comments. I think they must have had feedback regards delivery charge as they then introduced a 'delivery pass'
Sainsburys always. Just started using Morrisons, very impressed, colour coded bags and the driver put them straight into my hallway. I also use Iceland, their frozen salmon pieces for £6.00 a bag are great.
Had bad experience with Asda recently but that was the store's fault where the shopping came from.
