How is my shopping picked and packed?

At Tesco.ie we hope that our service helps to make your life a little easier. There are a number of people involved in your shopping trip, all of whom are dedicated to making sure you receive great service and great quality. Our expertly trained shoppers always pick from the back of the shelves to ensure you get the freshest produce and the longest sell by dates. They also carefully select fruit and vegetables as if they were shopping for themselves. They ask themselves the question "would I buy it?" and therefore do not send out anything that is not of the highest quality.
You can also specify specific substitutions or write notes to your picker for example "Equal sized portions please". When packing your produce our team are trained to separate food from non-food, chilled from frozen and heavy items at the bottom to avoid any squashing. Just like you would if you were shopping for yourself. We also store all products in climate-controlled areas- even in our vans. This ensures that your shopping is delivered in top condition and arrives at the correct temperature. Our helpful drivers will deliver your shopping to where you choose, be this your front door or your fridge door. Simply ask your driver next time you have a delivery.

What credit card/debit cards do you accept for payment?

We accept the following method of payments:
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and laser cards.

What is the guide price?

Your shopping basket guide:
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 groceries you order from us will be picked, by hand, in the home delivery store closest to your home.
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?

Once you have checked out, you will receive a confirmation e-mail, detailing all products, quantities and guide prices relating to your order.
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.

All of these elements and more make up our service charge.

Is there a minimum I need to spend per order for Home Delivery?

If your order total is less than €45, a minimum-basket charge of €3 will be added to your order, on top of your delivery charge.

  1. Your final basket is worth €45 or more when you check out
  2. You make changes to your order after you've checked out and the final basket is over the threshold
  3. If any substitutions are made to your order which result in your basket dropping below the minimum spend
If your basket isn't worth the minimum spend of €45 or more when you check out, and you're charged the minimum-basket charge, you will still receive your Clubcard points. The points you earn from each order will be added to your account when you check out. This also applies if you have a Delivery Saver plan - learn more about the plan below.
