A service of quality!!!!

Options
I applied for a Sainsbury loan of £5000 week last Monday.It was approved at 8.7%.
Was told if I wanted the loan quickly I should pay them £60 for a courier to deliver on the Thursday then 5 days from the Thursday the money would be in my bank account.
I declined the courier offer.
On Monday of this week I contacted Sainsbury to say that I had not received the loan approval form, I had to sign and return.
Was told it had got lost in the post and they would send me another one.
I am still waiting.

    So Sainsburys control the post now as well then do they?

    Still getting the loan though ( a great rate also) , so you can't be that worried.

    I don't understand what your issues are here. They offered you a guaranteed service, you turned this down and another service provider caused you a delay. How is this Sainsbury's fault?

    Clearly this can't be Sainsbury's fault. They gave you a guaranteed option though with a fee, but you declined. Surely, you can't expect them to have full control over good old Royal mail

    Everything is the banks' fault. I thought everyone on this forum knew that.

    however £60 is an utterly ridiculous amount to charge for priority

    and who says Sainsbury uses RM?
    what about all the other DSA carriers?

    I say Sainsbury's use Royal Mail. Unless they courier you your paperwork, for which you have to pay a fee. It used to be £75.

    yes, but what if they use a downstream access company inbetween?

    Sainsbury's, which has hundreds of stores throughout the UK, will use TNT Post to deliver most of its customer direct mail, through Premier, TNT Post's 48-hour service for pre-sorted mail, with Royal Mail continuing to carryout the final sort and delivery to customers' homes nationwide.

    infact a non executive on the sainsbury board is part of TNT's supervisory board

    Are you saying that this means that they don't use Royal Mail? I hope not. Because your quote clearly shows that they do.
