email ACA, that is a true travesty
Hi all,
I have just got off the 'phone with Coles (non)help line.
I received my delivery of food and was dismayed to find that one of the items was "microwave only".
I went back to their website and there is no detail whatsoever, no ingredients, no country of origin and no cooking instructions stating "this is microwave only". Oh what joy ....
Coles state "their website only displays the information that the suppliers give them". Therefore if you buy food that is unsuitable for your needs TOUGH TITTIES, you just lost your dough!
No refunds, no returns - NO Fukc ALL.
If you have an allergen, tough shit
If you don't have a microwave, tough shit
Apart from whinging to you lot what can I do ??? Who you gonna call ?? apart from ColesBusters?? (Just an aside, is what they are saying legal ??)
This dipso needs help
Luv and Kisses to all
Buy cheap and pay often, - there is no substitute for stupidity.
You wipe your bum after each crap, why don't you clean your teeth after every meal?
There is no shame in being uneducated nor in being stupid.
The true shame lies in knowing that you are and doing nothing about it.
Only the living worry about dying.
To the tobacco addicts - Smoke more and die sooner, so I can breathe fresh air. Thank you.
Education is the only sure cure for religion

I think it should have been ACCC
I lost my trust in those home delivery services especially for fresh fruit & veg (prefer to select it myself)

Care to share a link to the actual item?
I find it hard to imagine any food item that can not be heated/cooked in a conventional way if it is taken out of it's microwaveable containment or even left within, heated in a pan with hot(not boiling) water for 20 minutes or so.

Maybe keep the ACA name & shame on national media option for the final weapon but follow the ACCC complaints procedure first. Most businesses will prefer to resolve issues a tad more quietly.

It seems my previous reply died in the ether of the interweb, so here we go again..
Many, many more with no ingredient lists or cooking instructions.
Yes I can overcome any cooking impediments. But, WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO ????
Two small words on the product description "MICROWAVE ONLY"

What is the dollar value of the product involved here?
If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!
is a pre-cooked meal to make life easy for some
just plate it up and throw it in the oven
Well you purchased it with the intention of heating it the conventional way, SO WHY SHOULDN'T YOU
I often have a different approach to things: I don't FOLLOW rules, I MAKE them
That said I find it very important on behalf of EVERY customer to make sure that companies describe their product correctly and accurately and you should contact Coles head office politely and inform them of the grief they have caused you by withholding this important information.
If they come with their only supplied info required blah blah, you tell them that is NOT good enough and you will escalate this with the ACCC.
Alternatively however they might provide you with a gift voucher.
A letter does wonders too.
I have received several gift vouchers in the past but have not had dealings with Coles.

From the look of the product, and the description "Made in Australia from at least 49% Australian ingredients Packaged in Australia" is enough to have me looking for something else. It lists NO ingredients, so you are buying on the picture of the packaging alone. For $8.25, that package had better be tasty and edible, because I have NO IDEA of the contents.
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
find a cooking forum , maybe there is an easy way to convert microwave meals into something you can put on a cooktop.
thats expensive though , for a bit less money ( per meal ) you could support the local Meals on Wheels who can deliver something better
You can buy a microwave for $48 at Big W, if you live on your own you really should consider one.

Thanks for your advice.
However my issue is not how to overcome this matter, I have cooked in homeless shelters and at many public gatherings, so cooking date expired and microwave only foods is not a problem.
I could also buy an oven, but, WHY should I.
All I want is for Coles to do the right thing;
Declare the ingredients of the compound foods they sell,
The methods of cooking required for the foods they sell.
These are the details that are available to all shoppers in store, so why should online shoppers be denied?
Luv to all
