Tesco early morning deliveries

letsbehonest

A vent at the non caring Tesco, when I complained about their very early morning deliveries, 0535, 0545, 0550, hrs is just inconsiderately early. Woken by that infernal reversing sound then the crash banging about as the drivers unload and shuffle their delivery boxes. This does not happen at these ungodly hours on a regular basis but enough times to warrant a formal complaint to Tesco.
     Tesco make it very difficult to actually contact them and speak to a human, eventually I got a reply but only because I used Resolver, their reply was very indifferent and uncaring. "Every little helps"  really Tesco?

Maybe you could ask your neighbours if they could schedule a later delivery?

It's not the biggest issue if not regular, maybe think about why your neighbours as for a delivery before 6am and presumably how busy (maybe hard) that their days are.

Is this commercial deliveries to a shop or residential deliveries to neighbours.

Firstly where you live is your choice, so if you've chosen to live near a shop or in a terrace (rather than say your own private estate) then you have to take the downsides that come with your choice in a shared society.

If the noise is unreasonable then your routes are to complain to tescos, the delivery company or possibly environmental health. Environmental health can measure it and decide if its reasonable but of course you'd need to know when the deliveries are coming which might be difficult.

Could you consider an option like earplugs?

As above, are they delivering groceries to a neighbour or is it the deliver to the store?

If its the delivery to store then contacting the local council might be best, but if the store was there before you moved into the house then it shouldn't be a surprise.
Report a noise nuisance to your council - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Being woken up at that early hour? No, schedule your delivery for when you come home from work.

Earliest I can find is 6am delivery slots, had to try a lot of stores for that also,  most started at 8am.   Maybe they get that early delivery and then instead of
coming home they are away for several days and need the items when they return late?

ie.  Goto work on early Friday and then go straight to an alternate destination and not returning until 10/11pm on Sunday?

Around here is another Ambulance, outside number xx this time, and they run a 24/7 service.

People can schedule deliveries for whatever time suits them.
Not you.

Maybe that is when they come from work and then sleep during the day. There my be no slots left available when they are awake

We have dustmen through here around 6am once a week, not the quietest, just doing their job. Wouldn’t dream of asking the council to reschedule until we’re up 😏

I've worked as a home groceries Tesco delivery driver at two different stores and 8am - 9am was the earliest slot we did, even then we would only be able to do up to 3 deliveries in that slot given shift starts at 8am and have to do your daily van checks before you leave and often wait for your van to be loaded so don't leave the store until 8:15am so 6am deliveries is a suprise to me but doesn't seem too different to a 10pm - 11pm which was the latest we did. Perhaps you could get some ear plugs or something to drown any noise out?
