Further Information About Deliveries

How do you deliver?

Our experienced drivers use vans designed to keep your groceries at the correct temperature for their whole journey. The driver brings the shopping to your door, where you’ll be given a delivery note to sign. If you ask, the driver will also take the shopping into your kitchen.

What credit card / debit cards do you accept for payment?

We accept Paypal payment method via Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and co. In order to help us validate your payment card, a pre-authorisation amount of 2 is reserved from your account automatically when you check out. Upon validation of this amount, checkout can continue. On the day of delivery, full authorization takes place whereby the total amount is requested from your bank and the 2 pre-authorisation request removed. If you cancel your order, the pre-authorisation reserve will be removed from your account within a few working days.

What are they?

Verified by Visa and MasterCard Securecode are online security services for Visa and MasterCard cardholders.

What extra security do they provide?

These schemes enable you to register an additional password to your credit card. By doing this you will help to prevent unauthorized purchases on your credit card, which means that you can shop online with added security and peace of mind.

Do I have to use this password when shopping in store as well?

No, the password is only used for online shopping transactions.

How do I register?

During checkout, if your bank is participating, you will be asked to register for either scheme. Simply follow the online instructions to set up your new password.

Do I have to register each time I shop at Olumofoods.co.uk?

No, this is a one-off registration process and all future purchases at Olumofoods.co.uk and other participating online stores will be completed with added security.

What if I don’t want to join?

Some banks do offer an option to sign up later but others will insist that you sign up to the scheme immediately in order for you to complete your online transaction. Like chip and pin, Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode will soon become compulsory for all cardholders. If you have any questions about the schemes or the opt-in process please contact your card issuer directly.

Are the prices on the website and mobile app the same as in-store prices?

We aim to always show the same price online as we do in the store. Although there may sometimes be discrepancies as we advertise promotions one day in advance in order to show you upcoming deals. The price you’ll pay for products is the price of the product on the day of delivery/collection across both online and in-store purchases. You will also pay for your delivery on the day of delivery /collection.

Why do I have a guide price?

When you make an order on our website or an app, youll see the total to be paid is shown as a guide price. There are several reasons why we give you a guide price rather than a definite total:

a)Between placing your order and getting it delivered, there may be new promotions or other price changes on products in your basket.
b)Loose produce (e.g. fruit and vegetables) is charged by weight, so the price can vary depending on the items that are picked for you.
c)Pre-packed, weighed items like meat, poultry and cheese may also vary slightly in price.
d)If any products you order arent available and youve asked for substitutions, the substitute product may vary in price.

What if you haven’t got what I want?

We ‘price match’ our substitutions, so if we’ve substituted a more expensive product than the one you ordered, we’ll only charge you the price of the item you ordered. Substituted products for link-save and multi-buy offers (such as Buy One Get One Free) and Meal Deal offers are not included. Any special offers, such as ‘Buy One Get One Free’ are highlighted in your website basket. If the offers still available, these savings will be deducted from your bill on the day of your delivery. All prices include VAT, unless otherwise stated. If you think the difference between the price charged on the delivery day and the guide price shown on our website is unacceptably large, you can return the item and receive a full refund.

How is my order confirmed?

Once you’ve checked out, you’ll receive a confirmation e-mail, detailing all the products, quantities and guide prices in your order. The delivery driver will give you a full delivery note with details of all the products you’ve bought, including substitutions and unavailable products. If you have any queries about substitutions or out of stock items, you can ask your driver. Alternatively, please call our customer service center on 01325734835* or 07951568222*.

Errors appear when I try to confirm my order at the checkout

Sorry, the card number you have entered is invalid.

If you see this message, make sure you’re using a valid card type and entering the card number correctly, without spaces. Remember, Olumofoods doesn’t accept Visa Electron or Solo cards.

The security code on your card is invalid.

We ask for the security number from your payment card to prevent your account being used fraudulently. On most cards, the security code is the last 3 digits printed on the signature strip. On American Express cards, the security code is 4 digits and is found on the front, in the bottom right.

The expiry date on your card is invalid.

If your card expires at the end of the current month it may not verify on the site. This is because it may expire before we take payment and we won’t be able to verify your new card, as it won’t be activated until your current card expires.

The issue number you supplied is invalid.

We only need issue numbers for Maestro cards. If your card is Visa, American Express or Mastercard please don’t enter an issue number – just leave the box blank.
