Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because: I did place ORDERS one of which was delivered and the other were for same orderOne was using coupon codeThen I added an item to my cart coupon disappeared, so I CANCELLED order and reorder SAME items and coupon was reapplied (my account stated $coupon to be applied to your NEXT order)When I checked order in am Coupon code WAS still applied to my basketWhen I received notification she started shopping, I noticed the total price in the basket was much higher then what I was expectingThen saw $coupon had been taken awayWhen I called they said they could see that and were unsure what happened and placed on holdRepresentative came back and stated coupon could only ve used with first orderThe issue is that when items are placed in basket the coupon code automatically gave the discount because it was under "my account" section to applied to NEXT orderI was told that the system was unable to recognize if this was first order I had SEVERAL friends whom had both codes applied and then got to use them with first orderMy mom and I and a few friends noticed ONE of the coupon codes had disappeared when FINAL invoice was sent AFTER groceries were delivered When they called a few were given a credit and allowed to use both codes with first delivery, others were told they could use other coupon on NEXT deliveryMy complaint is; if your system was allowing coupons be applied to the basket (and for those of us that had a coupon in "my account" that says it will be applied to your NEXT purchase and it AUTOMATICALLY applies to your basket when you submit order) Those coupons should be honoredIt is wrong that a customer thinks that they are paying one amount and then the amount changes WITHOUT notification to customer Had I not received a tecr stating she had started shopping for my items and had I not noticed the sudden change in the total price I would have not been aware that the coupon disappearedWhen I called customer service to see what happened, I was given the run around and basically told it was my fault that THEIR system automatically applies code because it can not recognize what is a new orderIf I was anbisolated case then I could just chalk it up and walk away, however I know of people this has happened too as well as another friend whom knows othersThis is obviously a problem and it is wrongYou should NOT have a customer expect to pay obe price and then after delivery or right before delivery the customer discovers it is much higher then expectedHad I not had the app I would have not noticed the higher price until I received the final total AFTER deliveryI just imagine there are many others whom may not notice until much laterIt is to say the least sketchyI will not be using your service again and have told my friends and family not to eitherI have shared my experience on *** as well as sharec your current Revdex.com rating of a C+This leads me to believe this is NOT something new with your companyDishonesty is wrong and then to blame the customer for YOUR system error and say I "CANCELLED" the ordersI cancelled the other orders because I noticed when adding item couppn disappeared so I reordered SAME ITEMS and coupon AUTOMATICALLY applied I cancelled FINAL order because the coupon was taken away and your customer service leave much to be desiredMy hope is you look at your system and customer service and what is right by your customers, not change amount without customer being awareSincerely,*** ***

Hi Christopher
Thank you for sharing and I’m sorry to hear that items were missing from your recent order
Upon checking on the order list I see that there was no order for the two missing items which are Lipton Diet Instant Tea and Food Lion Butter Almond Ice CreamThese items were not
submitted to the order and do not show as refunded or cancelled on our systemKeep in mind you are able to change the replacement selection for each item in the check-out stageIn the case of the Food Lion Sherbert Rainbow and the Food Lion Ground Beef Chub, 73% Lean/27% Fat, the replacement selection was left as ‘Default Replacement’ which leaves it open for the shopper to select a replacement similar in flavor, health variety, size and/or brand
