Shit! Is there anything I can do? Screwed up Tesco delivery.

[PinkMeringue]

My fault...I accidentally sent my (£200) Tesco delivery to our old address.

It’s registering as “delivered”. My son has run around there to see if they’ve taken it all in.

If they have and choose to keep it, what if anything can I do? Tesco customer service is closed at this time of night.

Can’t believe this has happened. We have very little money for more food 😥 I am such a fucking idiot.

Hope you sorted it OP

not shamelessly place marking at all

Ah! My apologies

@AMemeByAnyOtherName You should never offer to give money to strangers on the internet.

Given that we order online food shops regularly, if one turned up at my door my OH would accept no questions asked assuming it was me, they NEVER check names here especially just now, we get a chap at the door open and it's all just lying there on the front steps drivers usually back in the van . However if I answered I'd know it wasn't ours.

When Tesco cancelled my delivery before it was delivered it still said "Delivered" on the website at the normal time it would have been delivered. Maybe they turned the delivery away but it still said Delivered for a bit.

eric if you order online it sometimes defaults to the old address because it automatically puts a new address as an alternative address rather than as your 'home's address. I've had it happen with Tesco. I only realised after it had gone out for delivery so had to call them and cancel the order.

hoppyhops tell the lazy sod who used to own your house that the unpaid concierge service has stopped. Redirections can only run for four years so this must have been going for quite some time. He needs to change the addresses, yes it is wifework but you aren't his wife.

stop keeping his post. As someone else has suggested, start writing 'not known at this address, return to sender' and chuck back in the postbox. That will stop it.

and his daughter also needs to sort herself out. If you can't reject parcels when they arrive, just leave them outside. Not your problem.

I presume the op has contacted Tesco and they had taken it back to the depot and they have now updated their address details

Sorry to derail slightly but @Hoppyhops , you should try change the ex owners information that is still registered at yours asap.
It may seem unlikely but, if their company (or they) falls into any debt or arrears and it goes to a high court judgement, your house is the first place they will turn up to collect the debt or remove goods. You will have to prove that they are not trading /living at your house and nothing belongs to that company (or them) .
It could cause you all sorts of hassle.

I hope with the OP claiming this house have stolen her shopping and accusing them of theft. Never mind sending someone round at nearly midnight to intimidate them. I hope she goes round with a big bunch of flowers and an apology for chapping them up at that time at night. When it turns out they didn't at all take it in .

Ffs I e read the whole thread and am disappointed.

No early morning screaming for the shopping back.

No calling 999 to report the stolen shopping.

As for the people that can't understand how you can spend £200 on 80 items, you do know we all buy different t products and have different budgets

@hoppyhops. Stop keeping their post, put it back in the postbox, ‘return to sender not known at the address’ They have had long enough to sort things.
Previous owners of our house for several years were still using our address for car insurance etc. I tried messaging through Facebook and he was very rude and swore at me.
So I started opening them (which you are allowed to do ) and discovered he owed thousands on his car payments and debt collectors had been instructed to visit. I called that one and gave the name of the previous house owners company which hilariously is a finance company !

I hope you manage to get it back.

I have sent my shopping to my office on a sunday and to my old address more than once. Luckily no one else lives there yet so I was able to go and pick it up from the Tesco store at the end of the delivery round.

I spend about £150 a week despite the 80 item limit. If a couple of bottles of fizzy water were replaced with alcohol or nappies or baby formula I can easily see it going to £200

It can easily get to £2.50 an item if you buy a few bottles of wine.

Is op coming back?

I think if the shopping was turned away the op might say otherwise if she comes back after all the hoo ha

That's so wrong if they won't give it back but it wouldn't surprise me. Some people are just assholes.

How on earth does someone with 'very little money' spend £200 on a single shop?

No update?!

We had an Ocado delivery once turn up three hours late at about 11 pm, driver was in a foul temper and just dumped the bags and walked away. It was really obvious it wasn’t our shopping and we called out and asked him to take it back but he said it was all he had left in the van and stomped off. All sorted the next morning, Ocado said to keep what we’d been given and they repicked our order and sent it. So someone somewhere got a bulk delivery of nappies and baby wipes they weren’t expecting

Ops not coming back because she has egg on her face. As I said before they couldn't find our address and put delivered when they had actually gone back to depot. It's an automated message

They might do a monthly shop when they get paid.

What is actually wrong with you that you need to try and pick at the situation so badly?

OP said she had 'very little money for more food. One would presume that means they could well afford their £200 food spend, just not twice in the same day.

Our paperwork (order form with receipt attached that I check off to make sure everything had arrived) only has our surname and address so if scanned quickly you might not notice it.
