I live in Northern Ireland (about 30 mins from the delivery depot!) - this is the 2nd time i have had trouble with my deliveries from Tesco Direct - i choose paid for 'select a day' delivery both times but both times a rude local delivery firm rang to say they wouldn't be delivering on that date as 'they hadn't a van in the area' and TOLD ME what date they would be delivering it. I have had to make numerous phone calls about this and eventually learn from Tesco that it basically doesnt matter in Northern Ireland what date you pick as this delivery firm will just do as they wish and deliver when they decide or have a van in the area!!! - Think we are going back to the dark ages - Tesco please change your delivery firm in Northern Ireland.
