Detailed Review
Auchan E-Commerce France is the publisher of auchan.fr. The legal notice names a Société par Actions Simplifiée à associé unique with variable capital of at least 1,000,000 euros, registered office at 200 rue de la Recherche, 59650 Villeneuve d'Ascq, RCS Lille Métropole 413 176 033.
The auchan.fr home page offers groceries at home, by drive or by click and collect. It lists payment online or at pick-up and 30 days for product returns.
Delivery, drive and click and collect
Auchan lets customers get groceries by home delivery, drive or click and collect. Payment is secure online or at pick-up.
The aisles cover dairy, fruit and vegetables, butcher, bakery, frozen, drinks, hygiene, baby, pet and organic products.
Marketplace and non-food range
Auchan also lists home, toys, high-tech, furniture, fashion and ticketing categories. The site has a separate legal page for its marketplace, so some products come from third-party sellers.
Auchan as a European alternative to Instacart
Auchan sells from its own hypermarket range under French law, where Instacart works through partner stores in the United States and Canada. The legal notice names a sole shareholder without naming it, so the parent company is not shown in the pages we read.
Limitations to Consider
The pages we read give no delivery fee, basket minimum or delivery window for Auchan. The sole shareholder behind Auchan E-Commerce France is not named, and the marketplace means some sellers are third parties. The legal pages also reference a US search provider as a third party. Compare Picnic for a delivery-only service.
Who Should Use Auchan
French households who want a large non-food range alongside groceries and like to choose between drive and delivery.
