I had a Tesco Click & Collect booked but decided to change the day. I went onto Mon 26th July & the £1-50 charge had changed back to the "old" system of different prices at different times! Ranging from £1-75 to just 25p. On the Tues 27th the 9pm slot was FREE! I looked at another Tesco store & all their slots had changed already for Click & Collect - some £2-00 through to some 25pI checked the Delivery slots & they were £4-50 fixed hour or flexi for £3-00.0

Click and collect should be "free" IMO as it doesn't involve any additional cost, ie vans, cost of running vans, van drivers; only current staff in the store doing their regular roles.

Suppose your delivery ( or click and collect) is a fiver. Someone goes round the store and picks your order.Then processes payment. Then it is loaded ON to a wagon. By another person. Then it is driven to you.Then it is taken OFF the wagon,and brought to your door. When you consider that most Tesco staff are on £9+ per hour,and at least two people had a hand in your order,then that fiver ( or less) looks like darned good value to me.

So as you say, paying £5 to get your groceries delivered, or a couple of quid for someone to pick them for you seems cheap really considering the labour needed to make it happen.0
