We tried Getir, the fashion app to make purchases from your mobile and receive it in a few minutes

At this point, it goes without saying that the mobile can help us in many situations, such as when shopping. In this task, it is very useful apps to organize and manage the list of what is missing in our fridge, or the official apps of supermarkets to make the purchase online and save us the trip.

The proposal that we bring you today, however, is perfect when we realize that something is missing and we do not want or cannot go and buy it ourselves. His name is Getir and he promises take your shopping home in a few minutes, at any time of the day, even at night. At Xataka Móvil we have tested it and here we tell you our conclusions.

Discounts are one of its great assets

Have you run out of milk? Or no toilet paper? Have the child’s diapers run out? They are situations in which Getir can get you out of trouble. Basically, it is an app to make purchases online with the advantage that a delivery man brings the order to your door in a matter of minutes.

For the moment, yes, it only distributes in Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Valencia, Saragossa and Seville. Hours are Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to midnight, Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to midnight.

The application is free, both on iOS and Android, and, once downloaded, the first thing it asks you is permission to access your location. If you don’t want to give it to him, you can enter the address manually. Afterwards, you have to register and, for this, it is enough to enter your name, email and mobile number (you can also continue without logging in).

From there, you can start shopping. We have to recognize that the application is tremendously intuitive and it has a pretty clean and attractive design:

  • At the top, it shows you the estimated delivery time (It is usually between 10 and 15 minutes).

  • Just below, you have a carousel where offers, recipes, promotions and a map of your location appear where they are indicated shipping costs. In our case, it is free from 15 euros, 1.99 euros up to 9.99 euros of purchase and 1.19 euros if you make a purchase between 10 and 14.99 euros.

  • At the bottom, there is a bar with shortcuts at the beginning, to the product search engine, to your profile and to your promotions.

Precisely the promotions section is one of the strong points of Getir, because there you can find from gift products (a bar of chocolate, a packet of sausage, a tube of toothpaste…) to discount vouchers (10 euros for 40 euros of purchase, 8 euros discount when spending 15 euros or more, etc.).

Don’t get excited, they are not cumulative, so you can only use one promotion per order. Also, you have to know that they change almost daily, so forget about saving them for the next purchase. In any case, discount vouchers are not bad And hey, they can save quite a bit of money.

In our case, thanks to the 10 euros gift on the first purchase, the final amount of the order was just over 12 euros. In the second, we used an 8 euro voucher and the final purchase cost us just over 17 euros. As you use the app, however, the discounts decrease.

Within our profile, we can add different delivery addresses and payment methods, Check your favorite products and orders placedadd information for invoices or set our communication preferences.

For now, a short but sufficient catalog

Let’s go with the important thing: the purchase process. From the home page, we can access the different sections of the supermarket, as well as a section with offers and another with local products.

Including these last two, there are a total of 24 categoriesamong which are Sweets, Drinks, Alcohol, Meat, Charcuterie, Fruit and Vegetables, Dairy, Preparations, Bakery, Frozen… And not only food, there are also sections of Baby, Home, Hygiene, Bazaar, Parapharmacy and even Pets.

Entering each of them, you can see the available products (the stock is updated in real time, so if something runs out, it disappears from the catalog). Getir assures that there are more than 1,000 different products; We have not counted them, but we can tell you that, at the moment, there is not much variety. In most products, there are only one or two options from the most popular brands (Gallo macaroons, Pascual milk, Dodot diapers, etc.).

Something that we liked a lot is that, Clicking on each product, a tab opens with photos, details, ingredients and allergens, and the way of preparation. The price per liter if it is liquid, per kilo if it is solid, per unit…

Once inside each category, you have subcategories to facilitate your search. When you find the product you want, just press the (+) and select the quantity to add it to the shopping cart. In the upper right corner, you can see the total amount of your purchase. When you have finished, you just have to click on the basket icon and the amount to proceed with the payment.

getir 06

You will get a summary of your purchase and some more recommendations. If you do not want anything else, click on “Continue” and you will access the payment page. there you can select one of the payment methods (PayPal, Apple Pay, credit card), add a note to the order, choose your delivery preferences (no contact, no doorbell) and apply one of the available promotions. When you have completed everything, click on “Order and pay”, and that’s it.

From there, you can track your order in real time. We have been able to verify that delivery time is usually between 10 and 15 minutes, even when there was no delivery man available and we have been “queued”. The purchase is carefully delivered in paper bags (too many, in our opinion), and afterward, you can rate your experience and tip the delivery person.

On Google Play and the App Store, some users have complained about the closeness of the expiration dates, but based on our experience, we believe that they are reasonable, as are the prices (in line with those of physical supermarkets). Everything comes in good condition, including fresh and frozen products. And two details that we liked: the delivery men travel on bikes and electric motorcycles, and to avoid the sale of alcohol to minors, they can ask you for your ID when making your purchase.

Therefore, we can conclude that shopping at Getir is a correct, transparent and, above all, very fast process. It may not be useful to make the weekly purchase due to its limited variety of stock, but it can get us out of more than one hurry if we run out of something at a certain time.
