    That looks like a cheap site - and I'm not talking about the prices!
    I spelt my username wrongly on purpose, by the way!

    Apparently it has cost them £35million setting up.

    The prices are not "cheap Tesco prices" as they said trying to flog the site.

    I didn't notice it was that bad a site until I decided to test drive the purchasing - I had to confirm what home address I wanted stuff "delivered to" to BEFORE the section to select the delivery method - collect at store etc. One delivery option was greyed out (select two hour slot) so I assumed this wasn't available and could select from the other two not grated out. I gave "collect at store" a go to see a list of available stores only to be told collect at store isn't available yet then I gave up (I didn't want to purchase the item anyway).

    It's a week late, the selection is pants, the prices are even more pants and the site is unstable (it probably won't be live all day based on recent history lol)!

    Maybe we've all been spoiled with MUCH better prices from other on-line stores sometimes with a bit of searching, sometimes we know just where to go thanks to the contributors here ;)

    People who don't put quite so much effort into checking out the prices (ie unenlightened possible future mse-ers!) will automatically associate Tesco with good prices and buy from them, but I don't think this is going to cause quite the ripples in the marketplace that a) they expected and b) £35million could have bought them.

    Couldn't believe how awful this site was.

    Looked for built-in electric hob - shown choice of 4 (mostly old style) ALL marked TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK.

    Next went to look at cooker hoods - choice of 4 - ALL marked TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK.

    Looked for Miele vacuum cleaner - don't stock Miele

    Gave up after that and went back to Sainsbury kitchen appliances site.

    I was looking forward to the site with all the hype have to say it is a disaster!!

    Prefer the Argos site to this, the prices are nothing to shout about alot higher than those charged in store particularly in the toy section.

    Hmmmmm, methinks that they are going to have to seriously look at their prices - £219 for a Creative Vision:M for example.

    Not ever so impressed, I'm afraid.
