Woolworths stop delivery to store collection

shailesh

I was wondering where the 'delivery to store' option had gone and got this response from them:

Message From Customer Service

24 Nov 2008

Hi, thank you for your message. At present, we are only offering delivery to home addresses and the store collection is not available. Unfortunately I do not have any further information on when this might return and I’m sorry for any inconvenience this might cause. Kind Regards, **** *****, Customer Service Advisor.

I've used this when I order from them so sorry to hear the option has gone.

Mind you, reading the paper yesterday, it looks like Woolworths might be gone before long - not just the store delivery service.

Will be looking out for a good sale from Woolies if they go bust.

Im not surprised there online store is useless, last year i order lost of things on there for xmas only to be told weeks later they were not available, i know they dont take the money until there dispatched but i had to do some last minute shopping to replace the items .... Now i will never order online with them again!

couldnt happen to a nice firm.. have never seen the local branch busy, at all- even on Saturdays.. perhaps if they turned down the VERY bright lighting instore, they could have saved a few quid - especially if done over the whole country..

I doubt that would have saved them the £380 they are in debt,personally i`m more concerned for the 30,000 staff that could be faced with losing their jobs,wont be a very merry christmas for them will it?

I would be sorry to see them go (partly because I had a Saturday job there many years ago)...I personally don't think they should have gone the route of the 'catalogue' type of shop, but I suppose they are the ultimate average 'high street retailer' and the high street has been dying for a while now...

The worst thing ours did was to turn it into a Kids store which straight away alienated a lot of customers who didnt have kids or whose were grown up.

I don't know if this was just a glitch, but their site didn't seem to list ANY toys this morning. I noticed they were sold out of a lot of the things I wanted a week or two ago, so maybe they just won't be restocking because the worst is about to happen?

I don't take any perverse pleasure in this at all, by the way. I've worked for 3 companies in the last 10 years which I have either been made redundant from, or would have been if I'd stayed - so I do know how awful it must be for the staff.
