Asda home shopping delivering to Wick from Monday 12th August.
Who said they will deliver up here?
I did. trust me.
They are was in Tain asda last week and they told me :)
Ah, is that why they had the big advertising board outside of Tesco this week? Made me laugh - thought they were just being cheeky :Razz
What time do they open?
I'm outraged by this blatant Tescophobia, I demand something. Dunno what, just something.
Just spoken to tain asda and yes hopefully by 12th August asda food shopping available from helmsdale up to wick.
I do not understand all this Hype and why anyone wants to get shopping delivered all that distance from Asda. Personally I would rather not give Wallmart my cash.
Won't my Icecream melt? :eek:
Yer ice cream will be fine, they'll just race up and deliver that first. 'till the speed cameras arrive that is.
Wow so glad asda will deliver even though they can't be bothered to open a store employ the people fuel the economy all the usual things you'd expect from a business ! Plus having had a multitude of supermarkets in my old town can't say they make a huge difference. You can't drop much of a straw between all the big stores except on price which they all like to keep nice and confusing then are nice enough to give you a voucher for your next shop or hey mug I've overcharged you and now here's my blackmail voucher so you have to come back to be treated fairly ! I'd prefer they open a store,employ some people, put a bit back and stop ripping me off. Lidls and tesco at least are employing local people.
Ooh, I'm sure thre is a thread on here about Tesco Land Banking and allegedly being in cahoots with councillors & planners etc. preventing Asda Walmart from opening up.
I'd be quite happy to have Asda deliver my shopping to Wick, and travel from Thurso to pick it up. It's a real shame Tesco are so afraid of the competition that they will do anything to prevent them from encroaching on their turf.
I spend a bit of time in Inverness when I'm off work, and much prefer Asda. Nothing political etc. but I just like Asda better.
I like Asda underpants, will they deliver them to Wick?
Aw, Kev, have you been slumming in it Tesco pants? Poor you!
I won't be using it. I would rather use tesco. Even if its a bit more I would rather use a company that employs locals.
That's a thought, and taking it a step further, if Tesco weren't so anticompetitive and an Asda opened up here, perhaps there would be more jobs than there are now? Just a thought.
Asda have a poor rep for using people on an 8-hour job per person, per week. Exactly the same as Poundstretcher and Homebase. Opening up here would provide a much wanted service and give many locals employment but to what end if they are all part-time, 8 hours per week? You can all breath a sigh of relief/despair because there just isn't any suitable sites for Asda to buy and open up on
Many people don`t want to work more than 16 hours a week, because of the impact on their benefits.
There are plenty of sights. What about the pent land autos place off George street, a huge area of land, the old auction place in barrogill street, the airport industrial site has empty places, the former Simpsons newspaper shop 3 floors the old dounreay club......the Train store isn't that big
Does anyone know what the delivery costs are going to be?
Just got off the the phone to Tain, and was told although they were supposed to launch the deliveries up here on the 12th, it has been delayed (possibly four weeks). The lady I spoke to advised me to call back in a couple of weeks for an update.
The deliveries are only to south side of wick. Reiss to groats area will be another 2-3 months
i do not blame people any working 16 hours we have found our self in a catch 22 places we both worked me 18 hours hubby self employed just making a living but now finds him self not able to work because of illness he would work if he could and we can not get a penny sick or help with our rates because i work 18 hrs if i work 16 we would get every thing and if i work 24 we would get working tax makes you feel as if you try to help your self while other sit on their arse but perhaps they are right when they need help its there if we had a morgage we would have lost the house by now
sorry rant over
Just to say on behalf of one of our friends thankyou asda food delivery today first of many asda vans coming up on the way to wick.
Did nt i read somewhere that Tesco bought the land that Asda wanted in Thurso. then MADE FALSE PROMICES. A ploy to keep Asda out..??
just tried to order a grocery shop online and it says it cant deliver to my postcode (Wick Pulteneytown)
Well they certainly did when I worked for them in Gravesend, Kent. I am also sure they employ a lot of people from Tain and the surrounding area for their store there, and so on. The argument for not shopping in Asda on that basis will only work, if you buy nothing but local goods from local companies only employing local people. When I lived in Dundee, I had Asda, Tesco's, Sainsbury's, Morrison's, Co-op, Lidl and Aldi's, and yet still shopped in Tesco's, but that was my choice, something which is lacking here. So I do'nt blame people here for wanting something different.
had asda delivered this morning. was 30 mins early very shocked. & I was told in the next year asda should be opening a store up here.
wont deliver to my postcode in Wick :(
