Do you do a Tesco online shop?

I've recently been doing this as I don't drive so paying whatever for delivery saves me the hassle of lugging it about.
Anyway, I quite like doing it but sometimes I look at what I've ordered and it's a real odd combination. I don't want the pickers at Tesco to think I'm some weird person. Like for example, I do still go to the shops every few days to pick up daily essentials etc but on my online shop I have things such as cat litter, mustard, bread, ham, and maybe the occasional ready meal.
I never really spend too much, usually around £40-£50, what about you?

I do Click 'n' Collect from Tesco as it's often free and controls my spending as I can be like a kid in a sweet shop when in the supermarket.
I usually have one delivery per week and have been doing so for several years. I've never had any problems, just a few substitutions sometimes which can be accepted or rejected as desired. It works extremely well, great system, very useful IMHO.
Yes. I think its one of the the best things ever. The only hassle left is unpacking, I save money because Im not walking down sweetie isles, I can see approx how much I have spent so I can shuffle items to meet a desired budget.
I know if I can afford luxury items without having to chance it (or walk round with a calculator).
No bumping into people, no waiting at the tills. Brilliant.
I can see for someone who buys only fresh stuff and like to try each packet its not for them, but even then people in my family who like to do that will do a online shop for bulk items and then nip down for fresh.
As for the pickers, they are doing the shopping for dozens of people a day, they havnt got time to worry about that unless its very strange (like £40 of sprinkes or something) and even then it will be forgotten shortly.
I find it easy, no hassle and the drivers seem like nice people, though I don't let them in to drop my shopping off in the kitchen like some off them seem to want to - guess thats just part of their training.
I've tried other websites but the Tesco one is the best one for me anyway.
A single parsnip, vasaline and chocolate spread
I'll go now
I honestly don't think they care.
I use Tesco groceries on line as well, and I certainly don't give two shits as to what pickers, whom I don't know and will never ever meet, actually think about my purchases.
I usually spend about £50 a week, and quite often they give you a £5.00 voucher for spending over £40, which pays for the delivery charges.
Generally well satisfied with Tesco home grocery delivery, especially with clubcard points and additional promotions.
Well she was but she was too scared to answer the phone in case it was Tesco demanding instant payment for next weeks delivery. As the producers couldn't get hold of her they went to their second option.
We tend to order our Christmas booze and mixers online for delivery as it's heavy stuff and it's easier if they bring you it rather than you carting it home from the shops.
We placed our order which would have been a few crates of lager, a dozen bottles of wine, Champagne, various spirits, mixers and fizzy pop, costing about three hundred quid so not a small order.
On the day of delivery some snotty woman phoned up from Tesco to advise us that they were refusing to deliver our order because 'there are no groceries, only alcohol'. This was wrong of them because there wasn't only alcohol and I didn't know that Tesco could refuse orders based on what you've ordered. They said they'd only honour the order if I included food in it so I told her to forget it, placed the same order with Asda who had no problem whatsoever and didn't try and take some moral high ground by refusing to deliver only drinks. Tesco haven't had a penny from me since.
I have done booze only orders several times and never had a problem. Weird that you did.
I think my response to that would have been to ask why alcohol was included in the grocery section.
It sounds like she was making an excuse to me. You should have got her name and sent an e mail off querying her statement.
Better yet, asked if she could e mail you putting the reason she gave, in writing, and explaining where on their website there is such an instruction.
Yes, I did think of all that after the call and after I'd already told her to ram it. It was one of those instances where I was so annoyed with what I was being told, I couldn't think of anything constructive to say.
