“Hi - me again. It might help people to know that Sainsburys have been giving an excellent delivery service to young and old during the past week. Their system only allows you to order one or two days prior to the date of delivery, thus a good chance you will get your order. They also text you re your updates and advance notice of your delivery. OK this service may not always be as good but I say speak as you find. Waitrose cannot dine on its' past historical excellent service! We are all leaving the sinking ship.”

“Ordered 3 weeks ago. 13 items unavailable and 9 substitutes - being told on the delivery date. Unavailable items included toilet paper and fresh fish which has strictly 7-9 days order policy. The next available delivery is on the 29 of April. Indeed this encourages stock piling behavior!”

“Very angry to be told on the delivery day no milk or toilet tissue. This sort of service generates stock piling.”

“Have been having on-line orders for a number of years; mostly very good experience and have been recommending friends. NOT ANY MORE. Early March ordered £76 worth of food on-line for delivery. Delivery subsequently arrived; items worth £62. After numerous communications with "Customer Service" to date no refund has for items not delivered. On the odd occasion this has happened in the past, there has been instant refund, following delivery driver amending order; not any more. If the transaction process was easy in the past, there cannot be any reason why it is difficult to make changes now - apart from the fact that the system is not working and has not been working for some time. Not using Waitrose for on-line shopping; will only visit local store occasionally for the odd item. Sad ending”

“Really bad place to end up. Very unprofessional staff starting from the gate house all the way to the office and throughout the entire place. Rude, the least polite persons I have encountered. Especially as government is spending billions on £ to prevent spreading of coronavirus this place can't spare a few pounds on hand sanitizer although they have massive writing on walls suggesting to use it next to a empty hand sanitizer dispenser. Toilet seems to be forgotten about and all together everyone you encounter is acting like you are an intruder. This happening at one of the Waitrose distribution centres.”

“shopping experience at peak times, is quite good with plenty of space and not barging into people shoulders, till lanes are quick, free parking, free coffee, cafe, clean toilet facilities. you find your favourites products. wide range variety produce. Things need to draw more customers to shop here, is meat and fish quality is not satisfied with the less choice. some of the vegetables i wanted are empty at weekend, the only way i will come back or visit another store in town is to sort out pricing it is not good value, paying more the same product to another supermarket. check price, save more if you shop less at Waitrose.”

“Every year I purchase Seville oranges from Waitrose in order to make marmalade. In previous years there were about 5 oranges per 1Kg pack. However, this year I counted 10 small, smooth skinned Seville oranges for each kilo pack. All the packs in the shop were the same. They did not smell like Seville oranges and when I cut the orange, it had very little pith. I made the marmalade as I I usually do, but when I went to squeeze the muslin bag containing the pith and seeds, hardly any gooey stuff came out of it. Not at all like in previous years. Very disappointed with the quality of Seville oranges Waitrose are selling this year.”

“Generally going downhill in quality across the board. Deliveries regularly late coded and even out of date. Meat products seem to be picked as worst-on-shelf. Silly things such as 'buyers choice' attached to 100's of wines for no reason other than to con customers.”

“Since the new refurbishment in the summer of 2019, it is nothing as good shopping as before. They reduced the cheese choice, only to introduce mor alcoholic drinks , wines etc. The oven hasn’t been working properly, the croissants get flat and glutty by the time you bring them home.”

“Really bad experience with Waitrose Customer Care - really disappointed the company is declining in this way. Was a loyal customer but won’t be anymore! for years. I reported a poor quality product and was treated to the ninth degree investigation over the purchase. Clearly Waitrose clearly believe they cannot possibly sell substandard products and therefore are less than tolerant of anyone daring to complain. How dare I report that the garlic chicken I bought was dreadful - such a ity to see the decline of Waitrose!!”

“Several items missing from online Christmas shopping order and then the lost a whole bag of shopping containing fruit, veg and herbs. A refund for the items was paltry compared to the inconvenience of having to travel to replace the missing items.”

“I agree with the reviewers below the Waitrose online delivery service which used to reliable with top quality produce has become third rate. Not least of which was their complete inability to deliver to my door the Xmas the whole order I had booked in October. Items not available substituted with stupid alternatives. Very short shelf life but most of the order has gone astray. I hope head will, roll. Never, never using you again. AnD such poor customer service. Shame on you.”
