Is there a minimum order amount?
Yes. There is a minimum order amount of €100 per store to complete your order. This amount will be shown in the cart based on the products you add. If the minimum amount is not reached, you won’t be able to finalize the order until the required amount is met.

To ensure maximum freshness and quality, products are stored under optimal conditions until the order is prepared. Only at this stage are they placed in shopping bags, minimizing the time spent outside ideal storage conditions.
Fresh and frozen products are always the last to be dispatched, ensuring they remain properly stored from the store until delivery.
What happens if a product I ordered is out of stock?
During the order preparation process, just as in a physical store, out-of-stock situations may occur, meaning that a specific product may not be available for delivery.
In these cases, you can choose one of three options at the time of placing your order:
- Our picker will contact you to inform you of the product unavailability and allow you to choose a substitute.
- The product will be substituted by the picker, based on smart suggestions provided by our platform.

Why is my refund different from the amount I paid?
The amount of your refund is calculated based on the differences between the products that were ordered, paid for, and delivered. The main reasons for a refund being different may include:
- Undelivered products: If any product from your order was not delivered, the corresponding amount will be refunded.
- Weight-based products: For products sold by weight (such as meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, etc.), the final amount may vary depending on the actual weight. If the final weight differs from the initial estimate, the adjustment will be reflected in the refund.
- Number of bags: If the number of bags charged does not match the number of bags actually delivered, the difference will be adjusted in the refund.
These differences are reviewed, and the refunded amount will be proportional to the changes that occurred during delivery. If you have any questions, please contact our customer support through the form available on the website so we can check and explain the situation in detail.
I paid one amount, but my invoice was adjusted to a higher amount — why?
This usually happens due to weight variations in products such as meat, fish, vegetables, or fruit, which are weighed at the time your order is prepared. The actual product weight may be higher than what was initially ordered. In addition, the number of bags charged may differ from the number actually delivered, and this adjustment will also be reflected on the invoice.
However, if you don’t understand the difference shown on your invoice, please contact our customer support through the form available on the website so we can review the situation.
I paid one amount and my invoice was adjusted to a higher amount. How will this additional payment be made?
If an additional charge is required, our support team will contact you and send a link so you can securely pay the outstanding amount.
Why is the amount authorized on my card higher than the order total?
When you place your order, a pre-authorization is made for the order total plus an additional 3%. This extra amount is intended to cover possible differences for products sold by weight and any substitutions.
Once your order is completed, only the final amount for the delivered products will be charged, and any unused amount will be automatically released.
The time it takes for the funds to become available again depends on your card issuer.
