Thanks Tesco

Who on earth does xmas food shopping online? Have you not learned that super busy time of the year + some crazy weather (snow) = no turkey for xmas.
 
If you put half as much effort into just going and buying a bloody turkey (whether or not it be from Tesco) as you have in making excuses and whinging then...well, you'd have a turkey.

I also live on top of a hill that is now covered in snow, I have no chance of getting up/down it in the car until it melts.

Also the delivery wasn't affected by the snow (he turned up on time) this was apparently a mistake on the website that they didn't notify me of.

does not compute !

if a delivery van full of not turkeys got up then im sure you can manage it in a car !

anyway xmas eve turkey shopping is where its at . dirt cheap
 
A good turkey cooked properly is absolutely amazing. That said, beef, duck, and even a good capon would be my pick over a turkey in purely taste terms. Beef wellington is a good dish at Christmas. Get a lovely expensive filet of beef, prepare in advance for maximum ease on the day!
 
Don't go and buy a turkey from Tesco - that's just rewarding them for their own incompetence! I won't buy from Tesco retail as it's just annoyingly down-market, and used the online ordering once for a DSLR bargain that never actually materialised... but of-course they didn't contact me!

Go and buy one from somewhere else! I've seen Waitrose and Marks & Spencer now have all theirs in with dates for christmas, and even last week the local butchers were bringing theirs in from the back of their Land Rover :cool:.

I was quite surprised that M&S were cheaper than Sainsburys for turkeys, £4.99 a kilo instead of £5.49. I've bought a backup turkey from M&S because my parents are bringing the butcher's turkey on Christmas Day but if it snows they might not make it. See M0T that's what is called being organised. ;)
 
We have finally got a Turkey, had to visit 4 shops to get one big enough but it is in our possession.

I sent a complaint to Tesco about the issue and they replied with 'all frozen turkeys had to be delivered before the 19th'. I had a quick look on the website and I could still see the turkey I ordered with the description 'For deliveries between the 19th Nov and 23rd Dec only', so I screenprinted it and emailed it off to Tesco.

They have just replied saying that I have sent them an image of a fresh turkey, despite the description reading 'Keep Frozen at -18 degrees' and several other references to frozen in the description.

I have just checked again and all of the incriminating evidence has been removed, which I am very suspicious of now.

Hmmm

I am now suspicious that you did in fact just assume it was a frozen turkey product, from the fact that it gives freezing instructions. And what incriminating evidence was there that has supposedly now been removed? Surely the screen dump you sent to Tesco, contained the product description in its title along with any possible 'incriminating evidence'?

The scales of justice are swinging back towards Tesco here :p.

They are not!

They've just sent me £25 by way of an apology.

Edit: Also it said Keep Frozen, and actually referred to the item as a frozen turkey in the description.
