Emiratis are no longer just buying electronics and clothing online – grocery shopping with home delivery has become popular as well. This can be proven by the increasing selection of online supermarkets and their growing reach.

In this article, we check out the buying conditions at major stores where you can buy, among other things, grocery products.

Which Emirati supermarkets offer home delivery services?

There are two different types of supermarkets which offer home delivery. The first type consists of supermarkets which have traditional, physical stores, but also offer their products in their online counterparts. Those are supermarkets such as Carrefour and LuLu.

The second type consists of stores, which offer their products almost exclusively online, such as Noon.

What are the terms of home delivery in online supermarkets?

Let’s take a closer look at the terms of delivery in Emirati supermarkets.

How much does delivery from Carrefour cost?

Carrefour offers its delivery services in Ajman, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Dubai, with the delivery costing 5 AED. Free delivery is offered on orders over 125 AED. It is also worth noting that there is a minimum order value of 50 AED.

LuLu delivery cost

LuLu delivers in all of the Emirates, with delivery costs depending on your location. Free delivery is a limited-time-only offer. LuLu has a minimum order value of 4.99 AED.

Delivery cost in Noon

Noon offers its delivery service across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Umm Al Quwain. Delivery fees depend on your location and free delivery is offered as a subscription-only service. There is no minimum order value.

Which online store should you choose?

Carrefour offers the best delivery service cost-wise, with free delivery on orders over 125 AED and a delivery cost of 5 AED on all orders under it. However, if you want to do small shopping, it might be worth considering Noon, which has no minimum order value.

While you’re planning your grocery shopping online, it is worth considering using discount codes and cashback. In Picodi you will find discount code deals in Carrefour, LuLu and Noon.
