Any advice on handing in coupons please!

Storck

As far as I know you can not use coupons on the Tesco website, unless they are Tesco vouchers with a code on them.

As for the best day Tuesday would be a good day as you get to see the offers whilst ordering as they change Tuesday night, the only problem is a lot of them might be out of stock. Wednesday is the worst day as the offers will change after you have ordered so you miss out on the offers.

Thanks Storck, I just wanted to make sure I get it right before I place an order.

Has anyone here used http://www.theasiancookshop.co.uk ?
Are they any good? Their prices look pretty good but I've never heard of them before.

I have shopped online with Asda for a year now and it has never happened to me, they dont take my money until 2 days after the delivery.

On the odd occasion I have had things with a 1 day sell by date (they have a policy of minimum 2 days) I called them up and the money was back in my account within 3 days.

do you still get to keep the item if you can't physical return it? and why should you, it was their error, you shouldn't go through such trouble. or is it a buyer's responsability to check all dates before the driver leaves in order to give unwanted items back to him?

Hi,

I usually use Asdas, but want to give Sainsburys a go. I know that they dont give out voucher codes for free delivery but I wondered if they do do a generic one for new customers?

I am getting my first delivery tonight - I usually use Asda.

If they substitute any items do they price match them for what you originally ordered? I cant find the information on their site.

Many thanks!

Hi Donna
Yes they usually do price match for your original order, if you ring them and let them know if you like or don't like some of the swapped items they usually just take it off the bill, and you have the replacement ones free!!

Hope this helps

Check the use-by dates carefully, when I used Sainsbury's they were the worst for short dates, one order had 13 items all needing using within 2 days! :eek:

Thanks both of you. Hmmm not a fan of short date items so I'll be check everything as I'm unpacking.
