Question 2

Weighed Items: Frequently Asked Questions

Accepted Answer

Why does my order show an estimated price?

Some items in your basket, such as loose fruit, vegetables, meat, and deli products, are sold by weight.
The price at checkout is an estimate based on typical item weights. This estimate is shown in the “reserved for order adjustments” line item at checkout.
Once your order is picked, your total is updated to reflect the exact weight of what you received. You are only ever charged for what is delivered, never more than the estimated price. This estimate is clearly labelled in your basket, at checkout, and on your order confirmation.

How and when will I be charged?

When you place your order: We place a temporary hold on your payment card for the estimated total. You are not charged yet.
Once your order is picked up, the store confirms the actual weights, calculates your final total, and charges only that final amount to your card. The temporary hold is then released.
Please note: Since weighed items must be delivered, collection is unavailable. We can only accept payment methods that allow temporary holds, such as credit or debit cards.

What happens if my order is cancelled?

If your order is cancelled, the temporary hold on your card will be released automatically, and you will not be charged.

How can I see the final weight and price of my items?

You can track your items at every stage of your order:
Before picking: Your order details and receipt will show a rough weight for each item (e.g., "Approx 400 g") and a reminder that your total may vary slightly.
After picking: Once your items are packed, your receipt and order details will update to show the requested weight versus the final weight, the adjusted price for each item, and your final Total Paid.
Out-of-stock items: If any items are unavailable, they are listed separately so you can easily distinguish them from the weight adjustments for the items you received.

If you have questions or notice a mistake in an item's price or weight, please contact our Customer Service team via the Help section of the app or website.

Question 3

What if I don't like my substitute item?

Accepted Answer

Why did I receive a substitute item and what can I do about it?

If an item from your order is unavailable, the store may offer you a substitute item that's similar to the original. This can happen when a restaurant runs out of a particular item or a store is out of stock.

When will I receive a substitute? If you opted in to receive substitute items when placing your order and an item you ordered is unavailable, the store will pick the best alternative for you.

You will not be charged more than the original item price. If the substitute item costs less than the unavailable item, the difference will be refunded to you.

What to do if you're unhappy with a substitute If you're not satisfied with the substituted item you received, select "inappropriate substitute" as your contact reason and tell us which substitute item you were unhappy with. Our advisors will review your request and approve it if it's valid.

Question 4

Can I get an invoice for my order?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Please contact the business you ordered from for an order invoice. Contact our customer support team for details about the service and delivery charges for your order.

Question 5

Why was my order cancelled?
