Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 15,027 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Shoppers frequently mention that the delivery drivers are exceptionally polite, helpful, and consistently arrive on time. Consumers also deeply appreciate the wide range of good quality products available in physical stores and through home delivery, alongside the great financial benefits of collecting Nectar points. Some reviewers were not happy with the short shelf life of fresh produce, noting that vegetables and items like salads often expire very quickly. A few other people also felt that receiving unsuitable product substitutions and encountering occasional stock issues during regular online grocery ordering was quite frustrating.

Generally I have no issues , but !

Generally I have no issues ! But please look at bar codes !
Now we have to serve ourselves it’s really awkward that bar codes are placed awkwardly! Cakes , soft fruit and alike have bar codes on the top meaning they can run or get spoiled when flipping for the scan
Also hate the gaggle of staff that heard customers through the self serve tills like sheep !
Points are also off the boil compared to normal ! Really need to up your game !I shop with Sainsbury’s a lot as it’s close to work but I feel it’s loosing its spark.

Sainsburys is an excellent company .

Sainsburys is an excellent company to deal with. I sit in the comfort of my own home and use their simple easily navigated site. My favourites are stored for easy access.
Sainsburys never fail to deliver on time and the delivery drivers are always friendly and helpful.
I will continue to use the excellent service provided by an excellent supermarket.

I like to visit Sainsbury's

I like to visit Sainsbury's, Brentwood, early morning when there are few customers so that I am able to shop swiftly and don't need to wait for a self-service check out facility. This I am able to do, hence I am happy. Also, of course, Sainsbury's has always been able to offer products I have on my shopping list - with the exception of broccoli which I was unable to purchase this morning!

Suddenly Being without a car I decided to have a shop online.
Couldn`t fault it. Items with a use by date had a long date. Only one thing they didn`t have so gave me a replacement that cost more money and refunded me the extra cost. Pleasant driver who was very helpful.
Everything was delivered in perfect condition

A lovely store, but always check nectar prices.

The new Mere Green store is well laid out with a good range of products.
I use the Smart shop handset to put my shopping directly into my bags, reducing the need to queue at tills. Shoppers should beware, however, that Nectar prices shown are not always the reduced price that appears on the set and consequently you will pay the higher price. This happens often enough for me to check every item I scan and then delete and return the product to the shelf. Like many shoppers in a hurry it would be helpful if more staff were available for queries regarding the location of products.

Groceries home delivery.

Due to age infirmity, I have started using home delivery rather then shop in store. Very pleased with service, on my first three orders, only one item was a substitute from what I had ordered, the delivery driver pointed this out and I was given the option of accepting substitute or a refund. All deliveries were on time and the staff pleasant and helped in unloading the goods. Overall I am well satisfied.

Poor Checkout experience

The till system in the Gallagher park Sainsbury frequently appears chaotic and the self service model understaffed. Manned tills often closed and self service one or two out of action. None of this really feels for the benefit of the consumer

Disappointed …

Home deliveries delivered short dated stock and often no milk. When gone to store ( it is only a small store by me) poor choice and missing items. I now shop elsewhere and only pop to Sainsbury’s on occasions.
