    Yes, Waitrose fruit and veg can cost more however the difference in quality of the items more than makes up for the saving with Asda.

    Find difficulty getting Waitrose slots in general, it is weird you look and there are none then suddenly there is an odd teatime ones that opens up with just a few days to go, I assume that they have other deliveries in my area and try to add to the van ( I am 24 miles away).  Have noticed that this happens every three weeks.  Agree there veg etc is better and have missed my visits to store.    Can book 4 weeks in advance with Tesco.  Stick with them in the main, mid week I get a click and collect from Sainsbury and have to say much better use by dates on veg.  I tend to get Mum in laws stuff from there as she seems to have decided there blueberries and bacon are better....anything for an easy life.
  • feeling fed up again. still furloughed. have good days and bad now. trying not to let it get me down. so thought I would do a sainsburys on line shop. no delivery available. the only one that had anything was asda. they got all the stuff I want and the beers I drink on offer. so if they suit my needs better might change to them rather than sainsburys. anyway forget all that. does anyone here use asda home delivery and are you happy with it?

    Yes I've been having Asda deliveries since March, and they've generally been fine.

  • We have used Asda a few times wíth delivery from distribution centre, not shop.
    Drivers are likeable and always on time. Substitutions are sensible and good price.
    Asda is cheaper than Sainsbury or Tesco but do not have as wide a range. Main problem for us is that they don't stock some items that we prefer.

    Yes Ive had a recurring slot with them for years. Quality is fine and usually a bit cheaper than Sainsburys. Subs are often better than the original ordered, delivery lads are lovely and they have an option to have bags which is important to me. Give them a go

    All depends on where you live as to slots you get and of course the store and staff that process your order and delivery.

    We have used Asda for deliveries several times, quite happy with them. Don't get a shock with their billing - Sainsburys charge you on the day what your shopping comes to, Asda charge you on the day for the amount you had when you did the order then make amendments by adding or deducting additional funds to correct that, so you can have 2-4 transactions, add them all up and the final amount will be correct.

    As to getting slots; if you can't get Tesco, Sainsburys or Morrisons; try Waitrose - you can also of course get items from Iceland.

    I've used Asda delivery + C & C off & on since March, from local store
    As others I find them perfectly satisfactory, drivers are helpful, subs are mainly sensible, and if not refunds are without quibble [on line] and almost instant
    As someone pointed out the money seems to go out then in again so expect to see few transactions on your card statement instead of one total

    I like the bag option, I don't like the no paper reciepts
