Do you use online grocery shopping?

I can only speak for Tesco, but c&c and delivery are picked by the same dot com team.

I imagine it’s the same for all of them, the C&C orders just get put in a different stack to the other mountains of orders at the moment. As for the date on items the shoppers are meant to look for a target date on fresh items but from what I’ve heard it doesn’t happen too often

I believe you both, but then how come there's such a disparity between what's available online and what I can buy in my local? (There are things I can buy in shop which aren't available *at all* online, but also things I can get online which aren't available in my local Either way, I'll ask the guy when he drops my stuff off on Friday.)

It probably depends which store is the hub for actually picking the shopping for your area, some of the deliveries that go out of where I work travel 25+ miles to the customer despite the fact that there is probably a much closer store to their address than the one doing the online shopping.

I'm trying to encourage my wife to use online shopping more as our food shops are getting outrageous. When things are back to normal going to try and use more online speciality placed to bulk buy meat and the like and only buy fresh food from the shop.

Ah, okay. (If that's true for my orders - that they pick from one further away - then it's nuts as it's a huge one.)

Yeah it doesn’t make a load of sense to me either to be honest, only reason I can think of not being able to order items online that are available in your local supermarket. Obviously might be way off and it might just be a glitch in their system.

I can some shopping delivered today from the only place with delivery slots (Asda) and half the things were out of stock, some things completely missing but have been charged for them and other things go out of date tomorrow, so that’s the first and last time I do that! Tesco click and collect apart from a couple of out of stock items have been perfect, they put the shopping in your boot and everything had a long shelf life and no mistakes at all, I keep waiting until midnight to try and book Waitrose but with no success, seeing the royal warrant on the delivery van would cheer me up

Edit - managed to book a delivery with Waitrose for Monday
