Should I ask for compensation?

they turned up and informed me that all of the items I'd ordered were out of stock.

My jaw just hit the floor!

I'm afraid ASDA and Tesco (the only other shop who deliver round these parts) are not interchangeable for me. Asda have the monopoly on about ten of my staple specific products. Tesco simply don't stock them or anything like them. Secondly, I don't pay any delivery charge to ASDA because I have an ASDA credit card. (My minimum spend is only £25 to get this free delivery so it's a godsend!) Tesco will charge me £5 to £6 and I will STILL have to go to ASDA on the bus to get those special things that Tesco don't sell (bus fare £3 return).

OMG. imagine the OP needed baby food! A child could have died.
I think free delivery on your next order is the least/most they will do.

Are you kidding me? I really hope that's a tongue in cheek post!

If not, and you're seriously breaking out the 'a child could have died' hysteria over a muddled up grocery delivery then you need to reign it in. I'm pretty sure that if a child was anywhere near death due to malnutrition that the person waiting on the grocery delivery would shift their backside to the nearest corner store and get the child some food or take them to a hospital.

I hope so! I've seen enough people on here making that sort of comment seriously that it's hard to be sure.
