Tesco have a policy that their chicken should have at least 5 days of shelf life left when you receive it - they'll refund you the lot no problem.
I had the same thing with a huge organic chicken I received in my shop - intended for the Sunday Roast, but had to be eaten by the Saturday - £14 of chicken refunded no problem.0 -
I have been using Tesco.com for 8 years now, and I have had short dated items before, I email customer services (wouldn't phone, it costs money), they have always refunded me, it does take a couple of days though, and they should email or phone you and let you know the refund has been done.
Tesco customer service is very good and I have never had a problem with not getting a refund.0 -
At least 5 days?! Oh right I didn't know that, thanks for letting me know. I've had chicken before that would go off in 3 days so I'll let them know next time and get a refund!
Still no response but I'm not worried after all your replies, thanks for the help!0
