Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 60 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers found the prices to be very expensive, especially when compared to other supermarkets, with some feeling that the pricing was a significant problem and a rip-off for ordinary produce. People also reported issues with product quality, including rotten vegetables, moldy bread, and items that were not fresh or had gone off quickly. The customer service was frequently described as poor, with reviewers encountering rude, unhelpful, and sometimes hostile staff, leading to a general sense of dissatisfaction. Additionally, many experienced problems with the overall service, such as long waits at self-service counters, incorrect price labeling, and difficulties with online orders and deliveries. However, some customers mentioned positive interactions with staff, particularly at counters, and appreciated the helpfulness of specific employees. A few people also found the store to be well-maintained and easy to navigate.

My local SuperValu is handy, that’s about the best I can say for it. The product selection is decent but the prices are generally outrageous and for very ordinary produce. We all miss SuperQuinn,... See more

I have being geting online delivery…

I have being geting online delivery with Clonmel and Kilkenny since March 2020. Have to say they are so helpfull and friendly and i have had no issues, they are ontime, and if they are running a bit late which has only happened about twice i will always get a phone call. Over all, they have being such a help, making it easier for me to manage without bringing my kids into a busy store during Covid.

Many items unavailable (online shopping)

I did some online shopping with SuperValu during lockdown. Some orders had up to 15 items not available and no substitutes provided. I made allowances a few times as it was during the pandemic. I switched to tesco which didn’t seem to have the same stock issues. I tried SuperValu again for the first time in weeks today (click and collect from Grange, Cork) and again many items were unavailable. You just can’t rely on the stock levels online. Their IT system obviously isn’t updated often enough. I wouldn’t recommend. I will be sticking with Tesco for online shopping. Much slicker operation.

Loyal customer but corporate card purchase system silly

Like the quality of the food and their offers are very good. They reward loyalty a lot..
dropped one star as having the 14th December as your cut off date for businesses to purchase a corporate gift cards is akin to closing a retail business for the month of december and pushing people over to Tesco

Non existent offers.

SuperValu sent out text offer to buy 2 x packs of Rockshore for €25 starting today, Thursday 10th Dec. Arrived at 10am to procure offer, unaware that drink couldn't be sold until 10.30. There was no sign of any Rockshore so asked an assistant and was told that the offer was over. Not satisfied with this explanation I found a more senior assistant and was told that there wasn't any but that it would be in Friday.
Luring in customers with non existent offers is too common in shops nowadays.

No Customer Service

Three months ago I bought a product which was rancid, though well within the date. I rang the helpline and was told that someone would contact me. I received no contact. So over the intervening period I have sent numerous emails, but no attempt has been made to contact me. No customer service at all, I have just been ignored. Not what I expected, very disappointing.

SuperValu Concerns

Staff friendliness is always there in SuperValu, but the one thing I do not like is the higher prices on many items when compared to the other supermarkets. For example, SuperValu Milk is €2.15 for 3 litres and the equivalent own brands in Tesco and Dunnes is €2.00 for 3 litres; Flahavan's Organic Oats are €2.59 in the other supermarkets, and are substantially dearer in SuperValu. If those sort of things could be addressed, SuperValu would be really perfect.

Excellent

The SuperValu Sutton branch is consistently excellent. It has a huge range of products, is very well organised and the kiosk system for basket shopping is very efficient. The staff have maintained a friendly and approachable attitude during the stress of the Covid pandemic, while keeping the queues and new measures under control, and I really admire this. Thanks for such a great service and keep up the good work!
