Tesco Online Malaysia Yay or Nay?

I finally decided to try out Tesco online soon after I reformatted my phone.

I have also given up on real shopping especially for things that don't really excite me. Seriously, how could shopping for onions and toilet paper be anything other than boring.

So I downloaded the app and checked out the things they have. Well.. they pretty much have everything that is available at the store from raw fish to dvd players. 

First I had to check if they deliver to my area. Just put in your zipcode and u can see which housing areas they go to.  Luckily I live close enough to civilization. If they don't service your area you can try red tick. Just google red tick, you'll see a similar service as tesco.

My first order consisted of cat litter (yes I would hate to carry that), chicken wings, butter and flour. It was easy breezy to compare the brands and the prices. Plus they have a special page for items on discount.

Check out was easy enough. However you can only pay by visa or Mastercard when the stuff is delivered, not on the site. There's a reason for this.

Delivery fee was  jiro, zero, kosong, percuma, nada, free!!! I think this is probably a promotional thing coz how can they possibly make money out of this service?

I had to choose the delivery slot and I chose 8-10pm the next day. You can get your items delivered the day after so if yo mama told you to go get chicken for her to cook for dinner don't think you can tesco online that chicken.

The next day they called me to confirm that I'll be home at the time I booked and roughly what time will I get home (between the 8-10pm period).I said 9.

At 830 they called to say they were already there. Ok you're early but it's alright coz I was home anyway. Got my stuff delivered by one of the nicest delivery guy in town.

They didnt hv the exact brand that I wanted for the cat litter but they replaced it with another brand which I could decline if I wanted to. Aaaaah Eureka!! This is why they couldn't charge me on the app instead. The delivery guy encouraged me to put in another order in a few days for the cat litter if I still wanna try to get the brand I wanted.

Could this man possibly earn delivery fees per destination? I'll ask them next time.

The delivery guy had a small card slot that he attached to his phone and wallaaaa I got my receipt in my email and also via text to my phone. I also got a rebate voucher of 10 ringgit for every 100 ringgit purchase until 15th January 2015(refer to picture). Go ahead don't be shy to use that coupon code.

Awesome!! So let me break it down to who should use this and who shouldn't.

Please use:
1)If you would like to avoid the crowd, fighting the crowd for parking, queueing up to pay for your groceries, carrying stuff from your car to your door (there I said it. It is just too much work #firstworldproblem. Oh wait this isn't instagram)

2)If you have no idea where the nearest hypermarket is

Don't use it:

1)If you are very particular about the brands of the products you want

2)You can't handle disappointment

3)You don't have a credit card. Uh huh. They don't take cash

Overall I was very satisfied with the service. Let me know your experience if you decide to try it.

Happy trying!!
