Sainsburys: stopping plastic bag delivery

[wink1970]

I just received an email from Sainsburys (who I have a delivery pass for, so that's a fee that I won't get back!), saying they are stopping using plastic bags for deliveries.

This is why I stopped using Tesco.

~ I don't want a delivery man coming in to the house, especially not with heavy crates - one of our floor tiles is cracked as a result of trying that once.
~ I don't want to rush around transferring groceries from a crate to something in the house
~ I don't want to carry items an armful at a time into the kitchen.

AIBU? I recycle every single bag they bring and I happily pay the extra charge.

Judashascomeintosomemoney ah - I completely appreciate now that the tins of beans can’t wait months by the front door for your DH to get back from Asia!

I don’t think you’ll get arsey delivery drivers though, as surely it’s going to be an issue everywhere as it’s a company decision rather than a customer one. In fact, I’m sure they’ll actually be super helpful helping you decant as they’ll find a knack for it and they know they are able to do it quicker than their customers!!

I understand why you're going bagless on internet orders
@sainsburys
but what are you doing for customers who live with life threatening allergies & cannot risk cross contamination? Can I have a refund of my delivery saver charge please as I will have to return to store shopping.

Hi Mandy. I can confirm that our delivery totes will be steam cleaned weekly. I can cancel your delivery pass if you DM me via the link with the full name, billing address and email on your account. Brandon
