ASDA Banana Scam

Asda website shows bananas at 68p per kg but if you check your delivery bill they are charging 92p and refusing refunds:mad:

    Are you sure that 92p isn't just the price that you paid? It probably is 68p per kg, but you ordered a kilo and a halfs worth (or whatever the weight would be).

    I've read so many complaints about Asda upping the price on food for home delivery that I won't have it. Other complaints about stuff having short sell by dates.

    I don't think we are sure that this is a scam, unless the order was for exactly 1kg, the price would be different.

  • Don't trust asdas' website when it comes to prices, I bought butter, chickens and wash powder and sent them back because they had hiked the price up by vast amounts, it took me ages to get a refund out of them for the returned goods too. It says on their website that the price on the day of delivery is the price charged.

    I have stopped shopping there now, poor quality and expensive, I have swapped to sainsburys and their basics range is very good and cheap, it is cleaner too, I found asda was filthy in some of the stores, and don't even get me started on the meat...
