Sent 5 emails requesting a credit for goods not received. They resend a standard email telling me how to check my order status even though my delivery was completed with items missing.
I used to use this food service on a semi regular basis. After 10 hrs and 5 emails I am contacting my credit card company because these people have horrible customer service.
I placed an order on 3/19/20 and was charged $320. Half of the items I selected were out of stock (understandable during this time) but I wasn't refunded any of my money. Customer service said they charged my debit card as a hold and the money would return to my account 24-48 hours. It's been over a week and I just got another charge for $190. Probably what the groceries were worth after not receiving half of what I ordered but I still haven't gotten a refund for the first deduction. I paid over $500 for a few bags of groceries. Complete Rip off.
I ordered 27 items. I got 9. They're blaming Coronavirus for all their shortages and bad service. They're out of bread, eggs, milk, Classico Plum tomato and olive sauce for over a month, bacon, and toilet paper, among other things. Call them and you'll wait up to an hour to talk to someone, so you just hang up. They're getting worse instead of better.
I made a large order 2 weeks in advance and $130 of the items I ordered were out of stock even though the website says they are available. Why even make them available and then get my hopes crushed? They notified me of this after it was too late to change my order and never bothered to substitute the majority of the items that were out of stock. I would not use them in normal circumstances.
Just got my second order from Peapod and they really are as great as I first thought. Fruits and veggies are perfect. Could not have chosen better myself. Got every item in my order. Substitutes chosen when necessary are great. So thankful this service is available. Worth waiting for!
I am a 76 y/o retired physician, avoiding groceries shopping for fear of coronavirus. Two days ago I got my groceries, several items missing, no invoices about what I paid for! Calling them is useless, no one answers. Sent them two emails, no responses! In contrast to Costco delivery team, twice have delivered my my stuffs, without anything missing and send me my shopping bills within a few minutes.
Site is slow, keeps shutting down freezing. Then when you try to set up delivery time, there are no times available past 2 weeks. Poor job by Stop and Shop meeting needs of the public during COVID 19. We are better than this but Stop and Shop is not.
I made a purchase over a month ago and I'm still fighting with my bank and Peapod to get my refund back. They charged my card the same day and called me an hour later saying that they were out of stock. But the problem is I still have not gotten my refund for the canceled order and I've been trying for the last month between them and my bank. This is the worst company I've ever bough from and I may have to give up at this point on getting my money back because I'm tired of fighting with them, giant and my bank to get my money back. Do not buy from this company you will regret it.
This would be a great service... if it ******* worked! It crashes all of the time. I spend some time carefully selecting groceries only to have the service crash halfway through the process. This has happened twice now. Screw it, I might as well just go to the store.
Tim was today's driver. He was the nicest young man I've met in a long time. He was extremely helpful! After bringing in the groceries, he took a half case of water out of the fridge and put it in my garage. He then put the turkey on a cookie sheet and put it in my fridge! He knew I didn't really have the strength to do this. All without my asking! What a fine and considerate fellow. Kudos to him! Please commend Tim for his consideration of an elderly customer!
You have to wait sometimes 2 weeks for your order. Most times half the order wont show up. But yet the items are in stock. I think the people who shop dont bother for the most part getting everything you ask for. If the items are there why wont you send them to me! Its aggravating! We are in the middle of a pandemic and people need there food. If its in stock make sure to deliver it! Also so many times you get items that are broken and dented. Dont they check as they grab things to make sure they are in good shape?
I recently ordered for the 1st time from peapod. The breads meats, lunch meat had sell by dates of the 14th. My milk container is leaking. I spent 176.00 on old food. I picked up the products on the 15th. I felt as if they were just unloading their old merchandise into my cart. I never used this service but had to due to having surgery. Also they have designated parking for pick up but this isn't enforced either as customers that are in the store shopping are using these spots. I tried to contact them but was disconnected telling me the call volume was too high and to call back later. Im asking for full refund if I can get through. Very dissatisfied and disappointed with this service.
I ordered groceries for delivery, they never showed up or called. When I called to see what was going on they directed me to accounts receivable, the woman who gave me the name Kat was very rude and unprofessional... she told me there was an outstanding balance of someone who previously lived here and they wouldnt deliver until it was paid. That's outrageous! I then asked for my money to be returned... she rudely told me it was already processed and to wait 3-5 days... its already been 5 days. The man I previously spoke to before her said he saw my order was cancelled but it hasnt been refunded yet. Is this your Peapod promise? Stressing out customers! I will no longer shop in your store and I now understand why you have the low rating you do. Hire better people with customer service skills
Food orders are backed up two weeks in advance, which is understandable. What's not understandable is cancelling the order because a two zipcode town tripped the computer or whatever, and making customers who were already with limited food reserves have to reorder through the two week waiting period again. Not an ounce of human sympathy during a global pandemic. Buerocracy at its finest.
I ordered groceries from peapod - got a text saying that the driver was in my neighborhood and I was next on the list. I went down, stood at the door and watched the driver deliver to my neighbor, then drive by my house without stopping. Then I got a text from peapod informing me that my groceries were delivered.
I've called; their phone system no longer even puts me on hold, just tells me to call later because the call volume is too high. I've sent emails; they reply that they'll respond within 5 business days. I've submitted webforms. The only reply asked me to check to see if the groceries had been delivered yet - which indicates that they hadn't read the part of the email where I said, "I watched the driver drive by without stopping".
There are multiple grocery delivery services out there. Don't do giant.
I used Peapod for my Giant Supermarket shopping a few times an had nothing but bad experiences with them and WILL NOT be using this service again. They always have incomplete orders and don't notify you that the items are not into stock until you arrive to pick up your order. So now I have to go out and look elsewhere for the items. The last draw was when an order was canceled and I was never notified until I show up at the store and the order was placed two weeks in advance. Don't waist you time or money on this worthless service!
I've used Peapod since 2007. I've had good service with them until the coronavirus panic. I pay an annual fee toward grocery delivery which is usually a good deal. However, if I can't get a delivery for two weeks it's not such a good deal now. I am not familiar with grocery chain operations so I don't know how difficult it is to stock their warehouse to insure they have sufficient products. However I don't understand why they aren't limiting the quantity of items people buy if that's an issue in order to provide to more. Also, I don't understand why they don't offer more delivery times, expand vehicles and personnel. I got a delivery from Amazon weeks ago - it was small - and they came in a car and the items came out of the trunk. Not everyone is buying massive amounts of products so that could free up their drivers to make more deliveries. It seems they are not thinking out of the box but trying for business as usual and that's just not working well.
The benefit of using Peapod is convenience. Their produce is awful! Every time I have ordered fruit I have received hard, unripened, in eatable fruit! The other issue, if the product is not available, take it off the web site.
Don't waste your time and money!
Didn't receive a good bit of my order no meat, bread or eggs. I tried to put in another order twice and they canceled my date and time.
I send email never answered or call me.
I am very disappointed!
Used Peapod at our local Giant for pickup since COVID started, never had more than half of what we ordered.
We had a order started online, 12 hours before pickup the order vanished and never received our groceries but they still charged me $381.00, never received a refund so I disputed it with my bank. Bank refunded my $ but now Peapod put us in collections for over $500.00. Called Peapod customer service and talked to Mose, let's just say, she has to be the nastiest customer service person ever.
She said they did a internal investigation and the groceries were delivered. We NEVER had groceries delivered, we always picked up.
The pickup service is called Giant Direct but is owed by Peapod
Stay away, I would give negative rating if possible
Answer: It's a legitimate company. We have gotten deliveries from them when we needed them. BUT ---- and it's a BIG BUT when you are dependent on an order being filled with inventory in question. Are they truly completely out of eggs and onions? Was I charged for them? I'll never know. BECAUSE -- they are 100% unresponsive to problems and concerns. Three emails -- unanswered. One phone call (forewarned about a 36 minute wait-time) disconnected at their end after 77 minutes. I HATE THEM.
Answer: Never got the same day or next day expiration, though, last Thanksgiving I ordered a tray of sweet potatoes and tray of stuffing and received two trays of stuffing. Credit is given pretty quickly.
Answer: Receipts of items sent to the customer are usually emailed to the customer once the order is filled. Also, customer receipts are under the customer orders section of their Website.
