query with tesco online shopping..?

[looobylooo]

hi all,
can anyone give me help please with regards to online grocery shopping at tescos..?
i registered tonight on their site and shopped for the first time online.
some of the items are on offer - ie 2 for 1 etc
but my final bill at the checkout is the full price with out the offers deducted..
it says do not worry because the driver will deduct the offer price when my items are delivered.
so, how does this work please? - is the full amount taken from my debit card and the driver then gives me change at the door...?? is this right??

im sitting here not finalizing my transaction until i know for definate how it all works, so im hoping someone kind soul will offer me some help asap! lol
thanks

They don't ever know the actual price until someone gets all teh goods and runs them through the til (or equivalent) as if you have any veg / deli items etc they won't know the weight etc.

I've not done it for a while, but as I recall it, the driver will bring you a receipt so you can check all of the offers etc and agree with it. Until you take the goods you wont be charged.

Go for it!

ahhh right, cheeeers muppit!
so even though it says say £50 at the online checkout, my card wont be debited until ive received my delivery and checked the receipt, and then the correct total reduced amount, say £30, will then be taken from my account...?? .. yes..?? lol ..
is this right before i press the submit button?!!! lol ..

Yes, the offers will be deducted

[looobylooo]

[ELVIS68]

Expect a load of rotten veg and salad and sour milk lol

[looobylooo]

lol - luckily theres no fruit or veg on order .. or milk come to think of it!

[Muppit]

I work away a lot, and my (now ex (due to working away alot)) girlfriend didn't drive or live near a supermarket or have any money so I used to do a lot of online shopping for her... Never had a problem!

Good luck!

[looobylooo]

thanks muppet,
well ive put me order in, so fingers crossed!
what a plonker me thinking the driver would give you change at the door! dohhhh - as if that would happen! lol ...he'd be getting mugged on his rounds carrying all that change on him wouldnt he?! lol ...
gawd, talk about having a thicko moment! :o/

[Muppit]

Here we go looby loo
Here we go looby light
Here we go looby loo
All on a Saturday night......

[looobylooo]

lol @ muppit - more like loopy loo!


gosh, hearing that just then, took me back quite some years! lol

[Muppit]

What is the delivery date for your order... I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for an update!

[looobylooo]

lol ... blimey, weve both got really exciting lives havent we muppit! ...

well ..... between me and you - its wednesday morning any time between 9am and 11am - how about that then eh? .. hmmmm? ...

[Muppit]

So you know enough about it to know that it's just between you and me, and not between you, me and the delivery driver!

[looobylooo]

well yes ok ok, tut, yes, the delivery driver too .. look ere, im at the height of excitement with this first order of mine, so is it any wonder im not thinking straight?! .......lol....

[Muppit]

Sorry, I was being facetious, suggesting that only you and I would know or care about the advertised delivery date, and perhaps the driver would turn up as and when he likes!

I have no grounding for that though, as I've never had a problem... my bad!

[looobylooo]

lol ....

right muppit, im going to try and get some kip now, thats if i can of course!
Are you going to get some zzzzzzs too now ive updated you on my ETA for delivery? lol .. oh, please, dont tell me youre still sitting on the edge of that seat?! - you are arent you, i can tell?! ....

[Muppit]

Off to bed now, goodnight! (Probably morning for you).

Looking forward to the update on Wednesday!

[looobylooo]

ok muppit, night night, sleep well :o) x

[Muppit]
