Tesco Direct click & collect £2 charge

Poppy9

I had an email from Tesco today to say there is now a £2 charge for click and collect from stores for orders under £30.

I found C&C useful for DD in uni to buy things and she can collect from her local store for free.

I think its fair enough, someone has to pick and pack all of your shopping so £2 for orders under £30 seems very reasonable to me.

I have never understood why it was free before.

This is Tesco Direct. For food shopping you normally pay a delivery charge and yes I don't understand why it's free to have someone do your shop but they obviously find the business it generates cost effective.

I use food home shopping quite a bit. It's been useful for DD away in Uni as she can stock up on her frozen veg etc. and not have to carry it home. Plan ahead and you can get £1 delivery slots.

Tesco direct. I use for buying so much as it saves me driving 4 miles to nearest extra store for non food items. I order on line and collect next day from express store near me but I don't always hit the £30 mark. I send stuff to DD this way too. I can use Ebay but I found Tesco direct quicker as if I ordered early enough it would be there next day whereas Ebay maybe 2 or 3 days.

I wonder if I spend over £30 and get free delivery then return 1 item when I pick it up if that will still mean free delivery!

Sorry I didn't see that you had said Tesco Direct, I assumed you meant groceries.

I buy quite a lot from Direct but I always get it delivered, I suppose they are trying to justify someone preparing your order etc in the same way that the groceries side does although you could have one item thats under £30 at Direct so it could be considered a bit unfair.

I can't see why you can't order over £30 and return one item though.
