Tip: How to get Free delivery on Ocado for orders under £75

Delivery on orders below £75 is subject to a £2.99 surcharge, therefore if you pick a free slot you will be charged £2.99...

But edit your basket in the iPhone app and the delivery goes to zero when you checkout, this is confirmed in an email and on the Ocado website, and when my groceries were delivered last week it was still zero on the receipt :)

Only tested on a free delivery slot, but I imagine is removes the £2.99 below £75 surcharge whatever slot you pick.

I have emailed Ocado twice about this bug, both times they responded about something totally different...

So fair is fair, I throw it out for all to use before they spot and fix it!

Just placed an order again this week and it appears to still work (pending delivery receipt), using iPhone app v1.6 (latest).

  • I can confirm this worked again last night, the delivery receipt showed no delivery charge :)

    Looks like the iPhone app doesn't add the minimum delivery charge for orders under £75.

    Well no-one commented, I hope at least someone made this saving.

    I can confirm this bug is now fixed, the iPhone app clearly shows £2.99 (£0.00 for orders over £75) when checking out, mirrored on email confirmation.
