I booked an online shop with Asda for around £240, It was a stock up essentials ie loo rolls soap powder etc as well as filling the freezer.

Shopping duly arrived with a couple of substitutions but otherwise intact.

Dh and I put everything away then sat with a coffee while i checked the bill.

Bloody thing was for £350 not £240Shock I went over and over it but couldn't solve it so I rang them.

I was put through, eventuall to the online department. The phone was answered with a gruntAngry I explained the issue and was asked my name. I'm afraid 20 minutes on hold and a grunt aggrevated me enough to retort "well you didn't give me your name why should I give you mine?

At this point the chap apologized and we began again. It was agreed the bill was wrong and I would find my refund in my bank within 24 hours.

Cue 3 days later (weekend so left it until Monday) This time I spoke to a young lady who waffled a lot but who assured me she would investigate and ring me back that afternoon.

Cue Wednesday, still no phone call so I rang head office. A lovely lady said she would deal with it for me and she was processing my refund as we spoke.

Cue a week later my refund finally makes into the bank. We missed going overdrawn only by judicious juggling because it took so long.

I emailed their complaints section to voice my unhappiness with the whole situation and received a reply 2 days later.

Many apologies were offered and......as a gesture of goodwill they were adding a voucher for £4.50 to my account for my trouble. Of course I will have to eat my words of "I'll never do an online shop with your firm again" if I want to avail myself of said voucher.

AIBU ?? should I have expected more? Opinions please Smile

Asda on line shoppers BEWARE
I shopped from Asda on line for the first time last week. The total came to £103.71 including delivery. Products were delivered with a few replacements. The invoice, however, was for £113.77. I called Asda customer services and was told the prices had changed from when I ordered on Thursday 20th to delivery on Friday 21st. Apparently, this is according to Asda terms and conditions. The representative was apologetic but could not help. Asda advertises competitive prices on their groceries on line to push sales. However, they charge customers higher prices and I wonder how many people check their invoices in detail. Please pass this warning on to all your family and friends.
