Ocado delivery prices rocketed?

I got my first Ocado delivery last week and was so impressed that I was going to use them again. But, I've just logged onto my account and the price of delivery has risen from 49p/99p to nearly £5 on somedays, and higher if you don't spend over £75?!

Now I'm not sure sure I'll be returning.

    There was another thread on this recently, I have suspicions the delivery prices are kept low at first for new customers..

    How disappointing - might as well do my shopping directly with Waitrose then!

    They do have a much bigger selection than Waitrose for me - and there are some slots that are generally always cheaper but the cheapest I can get now is £2.99 with a very rare free slot on a £40 spend.

    If you don't order though they will start sending weekly emails with discount vouchers which increase in % and lower in amount to spend over time :)

    I was so impressed with the service and was raving about them to everyone. I have a £5 off voucher to use which will cover the cost of delivery I suppose, but then I think I might have to look elsewhere!
  • I had an email some time back that said delivery was free on Wednesdays but I don't know how long that is for or if it is postcode-specific.

    I rarely shop with them now as I hardly ever get the discount vouchers that Kirri describes anymore.

    Logged in today to do an order figuring I'd use my £5 free credit to offset the delivery as I really was so impressed with them, to find the delivery prices are now back down to free,49p, 99P

    HOW ODD
