Exactly.  The idea that a successful multi-million business would engage in some sort of scam is ludicrous.
If you physically go shopping on Monday and the prices change on Tuesday what then?
Online shopping is the same.  You place your order on Monday but it’s not picked, packed And checked-out until Tuesday when it is then immediately delivered.  Or would you prefer it to be picked on the Monday and left in storage overnight?

The T&Cs for online shopping will be clearly stated but few people bother to read them.  The way online shopping works, there is a delay between ordering and picking/check-out so obviously prices might change - up or down.  In such cases the customer is offered a full refund so it’s hardly a scam.
People need to grow up.

Wow! Sounds rather harsh to my ears but you are entitled to your opinion, I guess.
Perhaps I am in the minority then but If I order from Amazon, Curry's, Dell or anywhere else I can think of - the price I expect to be charges is the price at point of sale. A bit like a contract - the price agreed at point of sale stands. If I shop next door and find it cheaper then tough - I fully accept that.
I also understand prices may go up of down by the time goods are delivered to me but I expect the price charged to my card is the price I was offered at checkout. To charge £96 more without telling me until the goods are delivered is ridiculous. The offers on the items I ordered were valid on my delivery date when I ordered. Only when they delivered them did they tell me it had been changed to a day early. Or as someone else here pointed out there is a fault in the online system when logged in/not logged in. I didn't screen capture every item (it was £350 bulk order!) 

Ever since it started online grocery shopping has slightly operated differently to ordering other goods.
As you say if you order from Amazon you pay the price at time of order, but they usually despatch it immediately.
Whereas with grocery shopping, its more like a shopping list and then the price is set when it is taken off the shelf and despatched (as if you were going into Tesco yourself).
If you went in store on the day your shopping was delivered, you should see the new offers and prices, not last weeks offers.
