2. PLACING AN ORDER FOR YOUR GROCERIES
2.1 General
You must pick up your Groceries from your nominated store (using Click & Collect).
We reserve the right to refuse any order placed via the PAK’nSAVE online shopping service at our sole discretion. Where payment for a refused order has been charged to your credit or debit card, we will refund the value of that order to the credit or debit card that was used for payment.
No trade orders supplied.
2.2 Minimum order value
The total estimated value of your order shown on the “check-out” page must be at least $1 before your order for Groceries will be accepted.
2.3 Order cut-off times
Orders for Click & Collect must be placed before the order cut-off times displayed on PAK’nSAVE’s online shop or otherwise determined by us (the relevant cut-off time for your order being referred to as the Order Cut-Off Time(s) in these terms and conditions). Order Cut-Off Times may change from time to time as determined by us.
2.4 Click & Collect Timeslots
We will offer Click & Collect services between set hours, and these services will be allocated by scheduled timeslots that can be booked through the PAK’nSAVE online shopping service.
There may be a limit to the number of orders that can be picked-up during each available timeslot. You can reserve a Click & Collect Timeslot for up to 30 minutes while you select your Groceries. After that time, we cannot guarantee that the Click & Collect Timeslot you reserved will still be available and you may be prompted by PAK’nSAVE to select another timeslot.
We will do what we reasonably can to make your order available for pick-up within the timeslot selected by you. If it is not possible for us to make your order available for pickup within the timeslot you have selected we will try to contact you using the contact information you provided to us during registration. We reserve the right to amend timeslot schedules, including Click & Collect times, at our sole discretion.
For Click & Collect orders, if you do not collect your order up within the timeslot you have selected, we will try to contact you using the contact information you provided to us during registration. You may need to contact your nominated store to arrange an alternative timeslot.
2.5 Estimated order value and final order value
The order value at the time you place your order is an estimated total only. The final order value is the actual price you will pay for your Groceries (plus any service fees for Click & Collect, as explained below) and may change from the estimated order value for the following reasons:
- Variable weight items – if you have ordered Grocery items that need to be weighed (such as produce, seafood, meat and deli items from our fresh food departments) or are pre-packed items that are of variable weight, you will be charged for the actual weight of the item picked by our Personal Shoppers (at the unit price displayed by PAK’nSAVE at the time you placed your order). Our Personal Shoppers will do their best to ensure that the items you actually get and pay for weigh as close as possible to the weight you ordered.
- Substitutions – if you have agreed that substitutions are allowed, the final value of your order may reduce as a result of us substituting items that are not available for similar items. You will be charged the cheaper price of either the item ordered or the substituted item.
- No substitutions – if you have not agreed to allow for substitutions, the final value of your order may reduce from the estimated order value, as a result of us removing Groceries from your order that are not available.
- Specially requested items – we may provide you the option to make special requests for Grocery items. If you have ordered any “specially requested items”, the final value of your order may increase where we are able to supply you those items, as the price for any “specially requested items” are only added to your order total once we confirm they are available and our Personal Shoppers pick those items for you. Specially requested items are not currently available in the South Island.
You will be provided a final invoice at the time of pick up. Where the final order value of your order is different from your estimated order value, this will be displayed on your final invoice.
Please also note that if we allow you to change your Grocery order under clause 2.13, pricing for your order may change. See clause 2.13 below for detail.
Service fees if any will be calculated based on the final order value.
2.6 Service fees
We may charge service fees for orders placed through our PAK’nSAVE online store. These fees may change from time to time. You will be notified of any applicable fees at the time of placing your order.
2.7 Payment
Orders must be paid for by credit or debit card only (Visa or Mastercard). You cannot use PAK’nSAVE Gift Cards to pay for orders through PAK’nSAVE’s online shopping service.
PAK’nSAVE does not store complete or usable credit or debit card information. We may store other credit or debit card information used to pay for orders placed through PAK’nSAVE’s online shopping service so that we can help you identify cards you have used to pay for your Groceries before and may like to use again. To pay for your order you will be transferred to a secure accredited partner that is PCI compliant.
Your credit or debit card will have a nominal amount (currently $1) held from the time you place your order to ensure your card is valid. This nominal amount will be reversed within 7 days of placing your order (it will not be taken off the payment for your order).
Payment for your order will be processed on the date you have chosen to pick-up your Groceries. You must ensure you have sufficient funds available on your credit or debit card to pay for the order on this date. If you have insufficient funds on that date then your order will not be processed or provided. We will contact you to let you know that your order has been cancelled.
You agree to indemnify (compensate) us against any loss or damage that we incur arising out of any default by your credit or debit card provider to make payment to us in full and where for whatever reason the Groceries are made available to you for pick-up.

Our Personal Shoppers will do their best to pick your Groceries in accordance with your order and preferences.
