Tesco UK Groceries is the current evidence-qualified service retained in this refresh. It supports scheduled Home Delivery and Click+Collect for planned shops, while Whoosh is a separate selected-area rapid service with its own fee and range conditions.
This edition covers Tesco’s UK grocery service using evidence checked on 22 September 2026. Scheduled fulfilment and Whoosh are not treated as interchangeable, and postcode, slot, basket-threshold and subscription conditions remain explicit.
Only Tesco UK Groceries is included in this refreshed edition because it is the provider whose current grocery evidence completed the full review used for this update. Other legacy supermarket and rapid-platform entries are omitted rather than presented from older or incomplete evidence.

Evidence-qualified UK online grocery service
Tesco UK Groceries
Tesco’s scheduled grocery service supports Home Delivery and Click+Collect, while Whoosh is a separate rapid service using a selected local-store range. Scheduled Home Delivery uses a £50 basket threshold with a £5 charge below it; Click+Collect uses a £25 threshold with the same £5 under-threshold charge.
- Scheduled basket thresholds
- Scheduled Home Delivery uses a £50 basket threshold: orders below it receive a £5 minimum-basket charge. Click+Collect uses a £25 threshold with the same £5 under-threshold charge. These are thresholds for avoiding a charge rather than hard checkout minimums.
- Click+Collect conditions
- Click+Collect has a £25 basket threshold; orders below it incur a £5 minimum-basket charge. Delivery Saver can cover eligible collection slot charges, but does not remove that minimum-basket charge.
- Slot booking and order amendment
- Customers book a slot before shopping; a booked slot is reserved for two hours, and scheduled delivery or collection orders can be amended until 11:45pm the day before the slot.
- Delivery subscription conditions
- Delivery Saver is a paid subscription with Anytime, Off Peak and Click+Collect plans. It can remove eligible slot charges for one scheduled delivery or collection per day while the plan is valid, but basket thresholds still apply; plans auto-renew unless renewal is stopped, with a 14-day cooling-off period on starting or renewing.
Availability depends on the shopper’s postcode, slots and service area; Whoosh has a selected local-store range and should not be treated as identical to the main Tesco Groceries catalogue.

What to check before ordering
Tesco is the current evidence-qualified online grocery option in this edition for shoppers who want both scheduled full-basket fulfilment and optional rapid top-ups. Check live postcode availability and slots before ordering, and treat Whoosh as a separate rapid service rather than the same catalogue and fee structure as scheduled Tesco Groceries.
