Let's talk ASDA

[PhædrusR]

This thread is for discussion of all things Asda, their business, their products, their prices. And anything else Asda-related.

Hopefully this can be a better, more sociable, community discussion area for those interested in discussing topics concerning Asda.

Still no CEO.

But someone has seen sense and brought back Rollback and the Asda Price pocket tap.

I know My mum and dad get a online order from Asda weekly, and half the time there are numerous subs

Yeah. It happens. I do an Asda shop every 2 or 3 weeks, if not Tesco/Sainsbury's, and I usually get a few substitutes, but not many.

Also, it depends when you order and check their stock. Typically if you order or amend the order the day before delivery, you get up to date stock info and they're less likely to not have something you order.

Whereas if you order a week ahead, and don't amend/check the day before, by the time the delivery happens, some of your order may get substituted.

I don't pay or setup a weekly regular order.

Mum and dad do a regular setup thing, We get shopping on a Friday, I think you have Gi order on the Tuesday. But can change the order up to the Thursday Night.

I know our local Asda isn’t one of the biggest Which might not help

I have a midweek pass, think I'm just about three years having an online shop every two weeks.

I find them really good now and haven't had any issues for a long time. I constantly amend my order and keep adding or subtracting stuff. Sometimes things go in my favour like the extra pack of coffee sachets I had last week lol

Yep, I find refunds for poor quality, unsuitable substitutes, short date, etc. better than if I shopped in-store!
Often get an extra or freebee too.

Weirdly, the pickers at my store do a better, more accurate job, than when it came from the fully automated dark delivery warehouse that only had a human at the end packing/checking the totes (crates) on a computer screen. Used to get weird extras, missing and strange items added or weird substitutes.
