With SPAR2U, you can shop from a wide selection of products specially selected for our online range. We're regularly updating the range available until we can bring you the full range from both SPAR and TOPS! Enjoy your shopping experience!

When your order is placed, SPAR2U will reserve (from your chosen payment card) the purchase value plus an additional 10% surcharge of your total basket value; this surcharge is to cater for weighed and substituted products.

You will receive an e-mail when your order is placed which will show the quantities, values and total of products ordered.

When your order has been processed you will receive an email that will include comments on substituted, out of stock, weighted and quantity changes to your initial order with adjusted totals where applicable.

The difference between the pre-authorised total and the actual value of products that was delivered will be refunded into your bank account.

The refund can take between 7-14 days to appear in your bank account.

If the price of a substituted product is greater than the price of the original product ordered, the pre-authorised fee charged will be used to offset the difference.

If an item is not available, the store will mark the item as out of stock on the order. The customer will only ever be charged for the items that were received.

If the item is out of stock, you can opt to "allow substitutions" for the item on the basket page of the app and you can leave a note for the shopper as a guide to the desired replacement product.

SPAR2U is all about bringing your local SPAR to you online. Unfortunately, only the standard store promotions are available on the app at this stage of the project.

If you are unhappy with the goods you purchased and would like to return them for an exchange or refund, please visit the store you made the purchase from and they will assist with a replacement or refund.

We are working hard to get all the products from your favourite SPAR and TOPS online with SPAR2U. You can find specific products by shopping by category or using the search option.

Before you finalise your payment, we do another check to see if the delivery slot you initially selected is still available. If your original delivery slot is no longer available , you will receive a notification on the app saying, "Oops! Something went wrong, your selected slot has already been taken up, please select a new slot". You will then need to select a new delivery time slot.

When selecting a delivery address you have two options; use your current location or capture your address manually.

Current Location Option
The app will use the GPS on your phone to find your current location which will be shown to you on Google Maps. You can navigate by moving the map to change the position until it matches your delivery location. You can then click the set location button.

Capture Manually Option
Type your street address including your street name into the text box and click the go arrow. The app will use the map functionality on your phone to find the street address and will be presented via Google Maps. You can navigate by moving the map to change the position until it matches your delivery location. You can then click the set location button.

If you live in a complex, you must capture your unit Number and Complex name when you are asked to confirm your delivery address or by amending the saved location.

Both the above options will save your delivery location for future orders.
