Parents and non-drivers have been praising Tesco’s online grocery delivery and click and collect services, and with kids back to school and wintery weather on the way, delivery prices start from £1.50
Tesco’s home deliveries are popular with shoppers who say they’re ‘cheap and efficient’
For many families, it can feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day – between working, doing the school run and making sure the fridge is well stocked we can soon run out of energy and time. With many kids now back to school, popping to the supermarket for lunchbox essentials and evening meals can also feel like a chore, but parents have been praising an online delivery service for taking the hassle out of stocking up the kitchen fridge and cupboards.
Tesco’s online delivery service helps busy families avoid traipsing the aisles and little hands clutching at things not on the weekly shopping list – and with many parts of the UK hit with rain – who wouldn’t rather order their essentials from the comfort of their cosy kitchen rather than braving the elements and battling inside-out umbrellas?!
With the supermarket giant’s online delivery service, users can choose a time slot that works for them, whether before work or during the evening while watching TV. There’s a wide variety of items available to shop online too, including Tesco’s ever-popular Finest range, and delivery costs from as little as £1.50 (which is cheaper than many bus fares).
Also ideal for those who don’t have easy access to their own transport, Tesco’s service takes care of delivering heavier groceries, meaning it’s also popular among the elderly or those with limited mobility. There’s no need to miss out when shopping online either, as Clubcard users can still access card prices, plus they’ll have access to personalised offers and online-only events too.
For those wondering if ordering online is a faff, Tesco’s service actually involves a number of handy features. This includes the ability to leave a note for the pickers with requests, so that buyers can get the items they’d choose in store, such as greener bananas or a certain size of potato.
Tesco also offers the opportunity to shop using a favourites list to speed up the process, leaving more time to sort homework or relax in front of the TV. The supermarket offers one-hour delivery slots, or there’s also the option to click and collect while running daily errands – plus for those selecting home delivery staff can even deliver to a kitchen where required.
In the event that an item is unavailable, Tesco can substitute it at no extra cost, and the retailer promises they pick the freshest products with the longest use-by dates. If there’s a last minute addition to the shopping list, amends can also be made until 11.45pm the night before shopping is due to arrive.
Click & Collect is also a popular option for those wishing to avoid the in store rush, and it’s super easy to collect an order at a local Tesco. For those looking to stock up on freezer essentials, Iceland also offers home delivery including a same day option with items delivered in two hours, subject to availability.
Meanwhile at Morrisons, there’s also a same day delivery option with delivery in 60 minutes, but it’s worth noting that it’s only available in selected postcodes. Back to Tesco, and the retailer’s online delivery service is proving popular among shoppers.
One parent over at Trustpilot said: “Ordered on a Friday and collected all my groceries on Saturday, the staff were very kind and even put the bags in the car for me! They told me my bacon had a shorter life, however, when I got it out they had switched it for a longer life one, just shows they went to the effort of finding one with a longer life! Will definitely be doing it again makes shopping a lot less stressful, especially with kids.”
Another review reads: “Excellent. Always within the time slots and only an occasional substitution, which is often quite acceptable. We use this service every week and it beats dragging the kids round the supermarket!”
Meanwhile someone else commented: “Had delivery today which arrived early due to his van battery running low which was fine by me. He brought it into flat and unloaded trays on to armchair as requested due to ill health and not being able to bed. He was great. Very polite and courteous.”
It is worth noting that one regular shopper left a five star review but did note they’d experienced a minor issue on occasion, writing: “Occasionally an item might have a short date, but I always check at delivery and can refuse it for a refund if I want.”
Despite this, another happy customer wrote: “Excellent products and excellent home delivery done by a very polite, helpful and hardworking gentleman. I am very grateful. Thank you. I heartily recommend this seller for its products and its home delivery.”
Someone else hailed the service a ‘lifesaver’ writing: “I have had Tesco online shopping delivery to my home since they started offering it. I have only been let down once in all those years and that was during a bad winter when the delivery van skidded into a ditch.
“I live in a rural area and I was grateful that they had attempted to deliver. The drivers are polite and friendly.
“There are rarely substitutions and when this happens they usually substitute for something very similar and of greater value. They are lifesavers as I don’t drive and my nearest larger store is a 30 mile round trip. Well done guys. Thank you for your hard work and a great service.”
A final review reads: “Just got my fourth home delivery. I am amazed how good they are, cheap and efficient. Always the right goods etc…drivers always cheerful. So far so good, cheers.”
