    A couple of years ago, I had a Christmas gift delivered to the door - not wrapped, and with all of the labels stuck to the actual box. Very annoying.
  • It's common sense not to take the kids when you pick their presents up.

    I can't see how that's cause for complaint?!

    What they do to cut costs is they put loads of items from many customers in a giant big box, then the staff at tesco have to open the big box to scan whats inside

    Rot, absolute rot.
    To actually dispel what goes on here:
    * If an item comes in a resonable sized square/ rectangular box (Approximately shoebox size & above), then the labels will be directly stuck onto this.
    * If an item is oddly sized/ shaped, then a blue bag will be wrapped around it, and boxed if appropriate. (Basically if it's unstackable)
    * In some cases, multiple items will come in one outer box, but this depends on where they've been picked from.
    * Large items (Chairs etc) will be shrink wrapped and sent in on pallets.
