What is the guide price?
Please note that the prices on our Grocery website are guide prices only. The actual price you pay is the price charged in store when your order is put together for delivery. This is because:
The prices of some products may vary between when you place your order and when it is delivered.
Your Personal Shopper may weigh items like fruit and vegetables or pick pre-packed weighed items like meat, poultry, and cheese. This means the price will vary slightly in store from what is on the website.
All prices are expressed inclusive of any VAT payable unless otherwise stated.
When your order is delivered you may return any item and receive a full refund if you consider that the difference between the price charged and the guide price shown on the Grocery website is unacceptable.
Are online prices the same as in-store prices?
The price you pay for groceries ordered online is the one charged in that store on the day your order is picked and delivered.
Any special offers e.g. 'Buy one get one free' will be deducted from your bill on the day of delivery, if the offer is applicable on the products you have ordered.
How is my order confirmed?
The delivery driver will give you a full delivery note with details of all the products you've bought, including any substitutions you have received, or products unavailable.
If you have any queries about our substitutions or out of stock items, you can ask your driver at time of delivery.
