Forgive my ignorance but what happens does somebody else look for a number or moderators ?
Can you let me know the process.
If one is found will it automatically be added to the site?
The SAYNOTO0870.COM alternative numbers database is about everyone sharing numbers they find. It is about all people pooling known alternatives, as opposed to a select few finding alternatives for others to use for "free".
Finding numbers is like playing detective, looking for clues that might tell us where calls may be answered and lead on to a suitable alternative.
Everyone who uses this site has a responsibility to provide feedback on numbers that are listed that they use and find to be incorrect, as well as those that work but are unverified. I advise people to post such messages in the Requests section and I will attend to them, making the necessary amendments.
Online shops can be outsourced to a third party. Tesco Entertainment used to be operated by TheHut.com. I know this because
I found the geographic number to TheHut's office that used to be for Tesco Entertainment.
I would think that a company as big as Tesco could well run this itself. The addresses posted above by CJT-80 are the registered addresses of Tesco Stores Limited and Tesco (Jersey) Limited, and thus they may not be the same addresses which they operate from (and from which telephone calls are answered).
I was going to suggest ringing 0800 505555, which I believe is answered in Tesco's Dundee office. This is because it may be that telephone calls for all various parts of Tesco are answered in the same office and not at the location where products are despatched.

Hi
Thanks for replies
I rang 0800 505555 and they only deal with store issues they gave me another No 0845 7225533 which is different to the one posted on there site but doesnt really help.
Thought it may help though in obtaining different number.

If you put that number (the 0845 one) into the database, you will find a lot of alternatives
I have just looked at the entries listed alongside 0845 722 5533, all but one of which are unverified. Most of these are apparently for the online grocery departments of certain branches, so I suggest that these are not general alternatives.
Indeed, when one orders groceries from Tesco, they are despatched from the local supermarket and not a central warehouse. This (I assume) is unlike Tesco Entertainment which deals from one or a few warehouses and sends goods out by a postal/courier service.
The main number for the head office in Cheshunt is 01992 632222, and it might be worth trying that and seeing if they will put you through.
