Tesco Cheaper Delivery

Hello Everyone,

Got an email from Tesco claiming that they have cut down their delivery prices, starting from only £3.50. I have been on the website just now and not only that is a false promise, but it seems like the Sunday delivery has now rounded up to £6! I have looked at all the available dates and the lowest delivery charges are at £4 on a Wednesday. Anybody found the same problem? I wanted to email them, but the only option is to call an 0845 number...

    I got my shopping delivered Wednesday this week 7pm-9pm slot, £3.50.

    Not a false promise at all. Supply and demand; you encourage people to take the inconvenient slots by reducing the price and charge extra to those who want the more popular times. Quite a clever move-the £2.50 difference between highest and lowest cost is enough to change the delivery times of shoppers like me, whereas 50p difference isn't.

    Just thought-it may become like ryanair-the earlier you book, the cheaper the delivery is!

    I guess it doesn't apply to London then, the cheapest is £4, which basically means that nothing has changed =(
