Take your time browsing the online supermarket and then pick your delivery time. The delivery service charge fluctuates anywhere between 3 and 6 euro - not bad! And, your groceries can be delivered within a day and down to a two-hour window of time. Everything is at your fingertips - from exfoliating facial scrubs to a jar of jalapenos. You'll find stuff that can't be bought at your corner convenience store. Lose the shopping cart! Let your fingers do the walking and put your money where your mouth is ... until delivery time!

Tesco Online--Personal Experience:…read more Once you've registered, the online store is very easy to use. Products have clear (if occasionally optimistic) pictures and good info. Discounts/multibuys etc are marked. Product categories are well organized and the site is easy to navigate. There are a good range of delivery times and prices. Off peak times are a LOT cheaper. I've found deliveries to be on time about 7 out of 10 times. What is annoying is that a delivery can be up to an hour late without any contact from the store (in fact, if you check the order number on the website, it reads 'delivered' even though it hasn't been). That said, if you call their helpline about a late order, they are very good about getting in touch with the driver and letting you know what happened/how long it will be. If they're out of a product, they'll substitute another (you get the cheaper price if the substituted item was more expensive). Mostly, the substitutions are spot on, but you can opt for 'no substitutions' on an item if you are leery (I do this on pet food as they tend to get substitutions wrong...no my kitten does not think that 'adult tuna' food is as good as 'baby cat chicken'...and in all fairness, Tesco aren't psychic so 'no substitutions' it is). The delivery drivers are an odd bunch. They're all really helpful if you have questions and very good about carrying deliveries indoors etc. Some are sociable, say 'hello', smile and have a quick chat. Others grunt once and get the job over with. Occasionally one stares at you with a look that says "I hate you for buying bulk cat litter but I'm not allowed to say it". I prefer the friendly ones, it's a little weird to have someone in your home who doesn't even say hello, just marches in the door and past you. Overall, it's an excellent service. I used it once and was sold. Now I use it every couple of weeks for bulky/heavy items or a big shop. Definitely worth a try.

I like Tesco - the produce is great, there's plenty of choice, and it's a nice shop overall…read more Unfortunately, the customer service lets it down. Every time I visit, the staff at the tills seem rude, unfriendly and unhelpful. With the cost of groceries being so high, customers who are spending a lot of money deserve to be treated with courtesy and respect. On my most recent visit, I had a handheld shopping basket in my trolley and accidentally brought it past the till while unloading my shopping. It beeped, and before I even had a chance to move it back, I was shouted at by the staff member on the till and spoken to as though I were a child. It was unnecessary and quite embarrassing. This isn't an isolated incident - it seems to happen every time I shop here. Tesco has a lot going for it, but the attitude and manner of some staff members really detract from the experience. I think staff would benefit from additional customer service training, particularly in how to speak to and treat paying customers with respect and professionalism. A friendly, helpful approach would make a huge difference.

We were roaming around Dun Laoghaire one afternoon and realized we were dying of hunger. We needed something quick and easy and M&S was right there. They have a little where you can get a sandwich, salad or wrap, a bag of chips and a drink for 4 euros. A lot of the stuff that was part of the deal was all gone, so we ended up with this strange salad that consisted of a little bit of lettuce, carrots, corn, baby prawns and loads of thousand island salad dressing (that pinkish stuff). We also picked up a ham sandwich for 1.50. The chips and beverage were ok, but the sandwich was probably the worst I've ever had and the salad was gross. Other options looked a lot more appetizing... The rest of the store is great though. They have a selection of all the stuff you'd need to grab in a hurry, from prepared foods to beer.

My aged mother paid for our shop with a credit card - something she does all over the world. With advanced age, she does not remember a PIN, so she signs for her purchases. The cashier did not ask for her signature, which means if my mother hadn't been honest and reminded her, we could have walked out with free groceries! Then, befuddled by this bizarre behaviour of the cashier, my mother left the credit card in the reader...and the blase cashier let us walk out of the shop, no comment of "you left your card". To top all of this off, you cannot call the individual stores anymore - you get connected to a central location, which cuts out on you, takes your number and never calls you back. We had to go back to the store, where they told us we were not the only ones to leave a credit card in the reader that day! Hell-o, Lidl- have some pride in your job and train your workforce! Two stars is generous - only the price and quality of the goods makes sure you don't get a zero rating! Bad bad customer experience!
