  • We still don't know exactly what the problem is here.
    Deliveries to residential address or to Tesco store ??
    Which is it ?!


  • @letsbehonest are you going to answer the members you've asked ?

    I'm not sure the OP asked members any questions.

    It sounds like simply a vent.
    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?

    I read it as the OP lived beside a Tesco store and they were talking about commercial deliveries to that store (not deliveries to Tesco customers). Those could start very early in the morning.

    but the OP said

     No, schedule your delivery for when you come home from work.

    which would imply it was customer deliveries.

    It is not clear what the OP is referring to.

    It could be that the OP assumes the drivers are loading up for early deliveries but it could be that it is the early deliveries of stock to the store.

    A store behind me- not a Tesco- open at 5am for stock deliveries.

    However, he has not come back to clarify the position.

    I can't offer any advice, other than the exact same thing happened with Ocado deliveries awakening a neighbour along the street with 6 am delivery.  The disturbed neighbour asked the recipient to change to an evening delivery (which they refused) but they did apparently feedback to Ocado that the driver was needlessly noisy.  The original complainant has not posted again on the local chat so I can only imagine the driver is now more thoughtful.

    Can the customer of the Tesco early morning deliveries also comment via the store to see if they can do anything that mitigates the noise?

    I assume the impact will be reduced now that winter is setting in so windows not open.
  • I was surprised a few days ago when I heard the beeping sound of a vehicle reversing outside my house at 22.45. It was a neighbour getting a Tesco delivery - didn’t think they delivered that late but apparently they deliver up to 23.00. Didn’t annoy me as I was still up but there may have been some people in bed that it could have disturbed. Not sure there is much can be done about it though anyway, as I think quiet hours are 23.00 to 07.00.

  • With Tesco it may depend on the area. Where I live, delivery options are between 8am - 11pm.  No early deliveries around here.
