As someone said above, this only applies to non-essential retail. Just checked my local Tesco there, and they have click and collect slots available for tomorrow and all week, so working as normal it seems.

Same here, slots available on Friday.

They won't stop click and collect on groceries.

Ok thanks. So what’s the difference in click and collect at Tesco than anywhere else? Not used it at the supermarket but surely it’s the same interaction as any other shop no?

They just stopped click and collect in the new rules, assume this applies to supermarkets as well.

I thought that it was just non essential click and collect that was stopped

Yes food click and collect is as normal. New rules only relate to clothes etc collection.

Called them today. Tesco still refusing to do home delivery to my part of Tallaght.

Nearest click and collect is Liffey Valley.

No difference except the essential/non-essential.

I think some places probably had queues for collecting, not being managed for social distancing and all that.
People buying non-essentials, and making extra trips to do so.

It's just another effort to get people to reconsider the extra trips some might be making maybe?

Supermarket click and collect is usually not organised in busy places, and some stores offering click and collect for non-essentials might be on high streets/main streets and so you are mixing with more people as a result of that.

My local Tesco, you're getting your groceries in a massive carpark, near nobody at all.

Not to do with the risk of transmission involved in collecting goods, as they would be the same risk really.

Just edited my Tesco Order for tomorrow. No Raspberries, Pancetta or any kind of bake-at-home Bread, Pittas etc available.

My local one has a van out in the car park. Each customer's purchases is packed in one or more crate, and the guy leaves the crate(s) out for you to pack your stuff into bags or whatever yourself. The website says you should have your credit card, receipt etc. as ID but in my experience your name will do.

Anyone notice a lot of items unavailable online at the moment ? Including Avonmore Milk. Also lots of Tesco own brand items.

Avonmore Milk showing ok for me on the website when I log in (local store northside Dublin) ... doesn't mean it will be in the deliver though.

Thats me

I have strong feeling Tesco online system showing goods available at the store right at the moment when you accessing it. But it is a lot of time between the moment when you filled the order and the moment when the items are actually picked for you; most likely Tesco will have overnight delivery and items made available again to that time. Therefore there is no reason to remove things from the order, just leave a note to picker which replacement you prefer for given position in the case if your preferred Pancetta is still not available.

So, does it show availability in the particular Store where my Delivery comes from or is it a central availability do you think?

Yes I've had that happen a few times, the item showed as unavailable at lunchtime day before delivery but I left it in the basket (with a sub on it just in case).
The item arrived ok in next day's delivery.

It's the particular store

There seems to be an availability issue with Avonmore milk. In my Supervalu delivery yesterday they substituted CMP milk and put a note on delivery docket to say Avonmore unavailable.

Can someone talk me through the Tescos delivery process in terms of safety etc? I haven't ordered a home delivery from them since this began

• The delivery guy drops a crate in your porch?
• You then take your stuff out of it into a bag you have ready?
• Or do you get to keep the crate? (some places allow this)

Thanks

Depends!

They give you the option of ordering with bags which cost an extra 70 cent (I always forget to click this).

I have only ordered a few times, I get a phone call... say hello they leave the crate at my door and I bring the crate to my appt and leave the things in the kitchen and repeat this move for the next few crates.

The first time I did it I was trying to be chatty (I was really bored) and he shut it politely saying this has to be done in a few minutes.

I don't think you are allowed to keep the crate sadly.

So for just 70 cents extra everything your ordered arrives bagged?

Then just remove them from crate(s) and done?

Sounds good

I thought it was 70c per bag ?


We had plastic stacking boxes at the ready
He left the crates in the garden and we piled it into our boxes

You can keep the crate. We do all the time. Then just give them back to next delivery driver.

How many bags would you know to order for the groceries though?

Just take a rough guess?

I don’t know about Ireland, but my older sister in England gets the delivery brought into her kitchen and left on the worktop. She requests this when ordering. The driver rings the doorbell. She opens the door and stands away. He carries crates into kitchen and lifts a liner containing her groceries onto the worktop and leaves. Worth looking into f any way frail.

Yes apologies 70 cent a bag.

The crates would do for a big order I reckon.
I always gave the crates back to tesco man because I don't really need them and have supervalu ones!:p

Get to keep the crates every time. Got a gift box this week also.

I wouldn't want them taking up space in my house for a few weeks tbh.

I've only been offered to keep the crates twice since I started ordering with Tesco, I presumed it was times they were under time pressure, but that they're not really supposed to leave them with the customer.
It's quicker, but I'd imagine keeping a track of the boxes is difficult if people don't return them all.


I use plastic storage boxes, and transfer my stuff from their crates to my own boxes outside the house.
They leave them down and I pack away.
Takes about 3/4mins. No chatting if I can help it. Don't want to keep them waiting on me.

Lots of space for them and a garage, no issue.

Does anyone get deliveries to apartments where there is no outside parking? Like theres a path, and a one way road outside the building door, but there the only place the van can park is on the path.
