Delivery charges being reduced at Tesco

datlex

This morning I had a letter through from Tesco about my delivery saver plan saying it was being reduced in price from next month. I rang them to check if it was a price adjustment or a permanent reduction. Apparently it is permanent. £7.50 per month down to £3 and also only need to spend £25 not £40.


I thought folks might be interested in what the guy of the phone said about other delivery charges, apparently they are being reduced as well. Currently the lowest is £3 though most slots are dearer. Slots are going to start at £1.


I can't comment for anyone else but I believe my shopping bill has gone down since I started shopping on line as less temptation and no carrying heavy shopping, it gets brought to the front door. Also as on an hour slot no waiting around unnecessarily.


Now I am not suggesting Tesco is the best supermarket by any means, but if you do a regular shop there it could be worth you trying a delivery especially once the lower prices come in.

Thanks for that.

I am currently on an ASDA £15 per 3 months (minimum order £40) pass guaranteed for the rest of the year. I have the option of renewing this next month. I also have 2 months left on an Ocado free trial pass (minimum order £40).

ASDA has recently introduced some £1 (minimum order £25) midweek delivery slots which I could use. In the light of this and Tesco's offer (minimum order £25) I will be seriously considering my options.

My only concern is that if I don't renew with ASDA now I lose the guaranteed pass price (normal price £8 pm) and £1 slots may be hard to find. This now seems less of a risk given the increased competition.

I also received a letter from Mr T and as I had paid 6 months upfront I got an e-voucher for £20 so really pleased

I have just phoned to cancel the renewal of my delivery saver because it was a half-price offer when I signed up and it's not worth it for me at full price. The person I spoke to told me that prices are being reduced from 23rd April to £60 for 12 months, and £36 for 6 months. Waiting for more info. If minimum spend is reduced to £25 that will be ideal for me .
10% cashback from TopCashBack too

That's £5-£6 per month.

I assume that the former is for a 6-month midweek pass and the latter for Anytime passes.

Good to see loyalty rewarded.

I recall reading a post from someone who had a delivery pass with a company (Ocado?) complaining that they were not receiving offers that an acquaintance who did not have a delivery pass was receiving.

There is a danger that when paying large sums up front that ones custom may be taken for granted and a company may not feel the need to offer additional inducements to buy from it instead of one of its rivals.

I was in this position, but decided to cancel as i was spending too much with the minimum £40 spend. I managed to find a 50p slot for Weds; which is the day i normally have my shopping delivered, at the exact same time, for a min £25 shop. Much better

I got a 6 month anytime pass for £30 (month ago)


Otherwise I'd pay £4.50 to £6 (Fri/Sat slots)

I had a few months free (sponsored by Unilever I think) but too dear now, often £6.99. (very late slots are £0 to 5.99 but some have to spend £75)


Ocado often give last minute % off or free delivery. Tesco is a mixed bag. (£5 helping hand the past fortnight to everybody)

They are competing with Asda. I recently switched as with Tesco my shopping was getting dearer each week. With Asda it is approx £30pw less.

I have had the £20 e voucher too because I have five months to go on my delivery saver. My letter said that my plan would now cost £6 a month and they were refunding me the difference.. I have the anytime plan.

Switching to Asda isn't an option for me as in my area their fruit and veg is poor compared to Tesco.
