We have been sitting here eagerly awaiting the arrival of £180 worth of shopping (unusually large shop, cupboard shop as well as regular groceries) which was booked to arrive between 7 and 8. Once it became apparent that it was late dh checked their schedule online and it transpired that they hadn't got us down for a delivery at all . So we called customer services and were told by a very rude, offhand person that if we hadn't received the confirmation email, it was our own fault our shopping hadn't been delivered. We did receive the confirmation page on the website after we checked out - but we didn't receive the email, which we wouldn't have noticed because our nroadband connection has been playing up over the last few days. So dh tried to check the order out again and book a different time (the earliest available, 11-12 on Saturday). The site refused because "you have already submitted this order"!!.

So we call customer services again and speak to another rude, unhelpful twat who fobs us off - he clearly has difficulty getting the order through the system again too but won't admit there's a problem with their system (dh works in programming and it was bloody obvious there was a problem). He then books a delivery at 3-4pm on Friday without consulting us, then tells us that it's booked - we have to tell him to cancel it because neither of us will be in on Friday (is that so unusual?. So he re-books it for the Saturday 11-12 slot. When dh asks for the forms to be sent for an official complaint (on the grounds that we have now got to do another shop to tide us over until Saturday, and our Saturday is being bollocksed up, and it's THEIR cock-up) he becomes even shittier, and when dh asks for his name, he says "I don' have to give you my name".

Now I have two confirmation emails in my inbox for deliveries of £180 worth of shopping, one for Friday and one for Saturday. They have different order numbers on them, so I'm pretty sure that if we don't do something we will be billed twice and receive two identical deliveries!

Just what you need when you're laid up with a stinking cold and thought your much-needed shopping was arriving imminently.

Sorry Greensleeves for your problem with Sainsbury, indeed I have had similar with Tesco.

Its the name of the thread that is so offensive, a couple of stars mid word could of sufficed.

If they deliver it twice, can you keep it and tell them to sod off and die?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 01/02/2007 10:27

Twatrose shopper

Greensleeves · 01/02/2007 10:17

NO olive, I will not give you the satisfaction

Honestly, if they deliver it twice we will have to go forth into the streets and ask strangers to come and help themselves I can't have it all festering and suppurating all over my kitchen!

Oh by the way, sainsbury's are arseholes. They think they're up there with Waitrose and M&S but they aint. Over priced Jamie Oliver promoted shite.

Greensleeves · 01/02/2007 10:00

I know, I know, I hated the idea at first, but we don't have a car, and it was a very large shop....

I must say, I didn't think this would still be here this morning

Camel Toe, anyone? This thread is really funny! I've never heard of some of these! One eyed milkman? Chocolate balloon knot? Got the milkman, but what's that^? Axe wound? LOL! My Sister would love this, but she won't MN, I've asked her. She doesn't know what she's missing. I think she thinks we just talk about centile charts and the pros and cons of private schooling.

Let me think if I can add to the list.... Nope, all I can think of is some names for gays and lesbians but don't want to stir the lynch brigade.

My fave is the fucknoseddonkey.

oliveoil · 01/02/2007 09:20

ROFL

Giggling away here

You wouldn't have a problem if you went to the shop, I realise I am behind the times but really, internet shopping? How can you tell what veg looks good etc?

I like a good feel of a pair of melons.
