edwardandtubs Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) I ordered some groceries on the Grab app from *****. What arrived was not fresh and certainly didn't make me happy. The chicken was so stinking rotten it made me gag. My personal shopper obviously thought that chicken left purifying unrefrigerated in the middle of ***** was very appetising. Did they give me a refund? Have a guess. Edited January 29, 2020 by CharlieH defamatory content removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss1960 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 How do you know it was a problem of the Grab driver and not a problem of the restaurant you ordered from? How long did it take from your order until the food arrived? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardandtubs Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 I'm talking about grocery shopping, not delivery from restaurants. We can all SEE the BIG problem of chicken left rotting in the middle of supermarkets. And we are not left HAPPY when we pay for items that are not FRESH. You're right though, the extra hour of being in a box on the back of a moped in the midday heat of Bangkok would've made matters worse. I thought the groceries would arrive in a refrigerated van like when you buy direct from Tesco but this is not the case. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo the problem is with the groceries, not with Grab the transport time it's not enough long to the chicken rot. The best thing to do is to back to the grocerie with the chicken and the receipt and look what they have to say about it. By experience you have more chance to be given a <deleted>..y excuse than a refund even after hours of arguing and asking for a ''manager'' TIT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post edwardandtubs Posted January 29, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2020 My contract was not with Grab or the supermarket but a separate company that promises to make you HAPPY with FRESH deliveries. The only thing they do is go shopping for you and then deliver it but as they're choosing rotten food, I definitely won't be using them again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmybkk Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Same thing happened to me a few days ago - bought 8 chicken thighs from Tesco Lotus, came straight home, put them into a brine solution as soon as I got them home and kept them in the fridge and they never lost that rotten food smell. Hey Tesco Lotus, how about you stop selling rotten meat...!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vogie Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I bought a joint of pork, either from the local market or Macro, not sure which one. I cured the pork with an intention of making ham. Cooked it in my pressure cooker and when it cooled I started to cut it up, I noticed patches of blood, on further inspection they were flies, it must have been totally maggott ridden. I tend not to buy pork from the market now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was your next attempt? Trust me I am very serious, I used to buy pork from the market and Macro as previously explained, I have two freezers, and I used to buy the meat from both places then freeze so when I'm ready to cure the ham I get a joint out of the freezer to cure, why would I be bothered where it came from, as I said the most likely place to get the spoilt meat would have been the market, so now I don't bother using the market for my meat. I hope my explanation is satisfactory for you, if not I cannot help you anymore as my wife didn't video me at the time. Subsequent attempts have been more than satisfactory thanks.

Ok but I would have thought you may use a local butcher/wholesaler who could give you the most suitable cuts and some guarantee as to the quality. Guess you just playing at it so good luck.
