Asda online - overcharged again - anyone else same problem?

Just had this happen for the second time.

The total on the delivery note was alot higher than I was expecting and after lots of checking I found that the total of all the items added up to about £80, but the total at the bottom of the delivery note was about £95. Depite assurances from helpdesk that I would be debited with the correct amount - hey presto guess which amount I was charged!

Even checking online - one screen shows the correct amount and another one the wrong one.

Their systems are totally crap - how do I know that I've not been overcharged smaller amounts on previous deliveries that I've not noticed.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Who do you think I could complain to (trading standards etc ?) as I feel that they are systematically overcharging people, as I'm sure not everyone sits with a calculator making sure that the totals are right - you just assume that they are.

Only used them twice but not noticed any problems. Will check!

Me! Only a couple of quid but definately a PITA!

ATM they keep putting back in my account and taking out the amount for my last delivery for some reason. Very strange & annoying & has resulted in me paying £35 charges for what the bank are calling mis-use of my card!

lucysmam - glad I'm not the only one.

I'd move my custom elsewhere - but do feel that Asda are cheaper that the other online shops and I can always find an e-voucher online to get free delivery - can't for Tescos or sainsburys.

They always work out about a tenner cheaper for me too!

They do usually refund with no quibble as well. Just waiting to see what they do about my 'mis-using my card' charge since it's them who's faffing about so much with the money

I'm currently avoiding Tesco for the same reason. Their over-charge was only £1 for one item but that's not the point. You can't do your weekly shop and just guess what the total is going to be!! (BTW - there are loads of voucher codes on MSE for Tesco. I usually get between £8 - £12 of an £80 shop).

Also, I find the Asda site harder to navigate than Tesco. I might try Sainsbury's next and see if I can get some voucher codes.

I think Sainsbury's stopped online codes after mass misuse. I use Tesco because you can usually get a decent money off voucher, was gonna try Asda but don't think I'll bother.

I used to use Sainsbury's but seem to get more for my money at Tesco.

I've used Sainsbury's for about 5 years. They've been great. They give you a £10 voucher if they miss their slot even by just a few minutes and you sometimes get free samples or even a box of chocolates!
