To click & collect with no car

[lostandconfusedd]

I really need food shopping, all delivery slots are full until Tuesday. Can I use click and collect even though I don't have a car? Or will I just look like a prize twat

How will you collect?

No reason why not.

I don’t think they care what mode of transport you use for collection

Can you borrow their trolley and take it back later? (Our Click and Collect place gives us the trolley full of groceries and we wheel it to our car - not sure about the UK)

I'll collect it using bags and a rucksack and then walk back home which is frankly easier than trying to do a full shop with 3 young children.
But our click and çollect is at the back of the supermarket where cars go and I've never seen anybody else collect like that

Depends.

Click and collect at one of local supermarkets is at customer services desk. No problem.

At the other it’s in a dedicated booth in the car park. Bit like a drive-through. Probably tricky.

So find out what the deal is at your local one and take it from there.

I didn't mean to put the flowers

Cross-post. Probably not a good idea then.

Call the supermarket and ask?

Pick it up in a taxi.

I was going to suggest using a taxi too.

Picking up shopping at my local supermarket is at the customer service desk and they bring it out to you just bag it and walk home

Taxi isn't an option as I'd have 3 young children and a double pram with me

If you are just going to the Click and Collect bit you won't need the pram will you?

Well I have to take my kids with me?

Surely a taxi is easiest then because you won't have to take the kids out of the taxi?

Ohhh you all mean a taxi there and back!?

I use click and collect in a drive through petrol station in a city and there's always people on foot

Yes, a taxi there and back just to the Click and Collect point.

Our supermarket click and collect point is in the carpark but it's never busy. You'd be fine on foot.

Perhaps a friend or neighbour with a car to help?
Or could someone mind the children for half an hour while you nip over in a taxi? (I'm assuming as you were planning to walk that it's not too far away and a taxi wouldn't cost too much?)

Have you got an iceland? Go in do your shopping and they'll deliver it for free ( if over 25/30)

Yes it’s fine to collect it on foot. You won’t be the first doing this at this time of year but be careful not to order more than you can carry!

It is close ask and collect, not a drive thru. It’ll be fine.you won’t be the first (trust me on that).

I've seen people click and collect with a bike, why not a pram? They really don't care. Alternatively Iceland delivers what you pick in store- never used it myself but friends do without cars, could be a useful stop gap (mum says that they do have decent quality stuff these days!)
