Excellent news as only Amazon Fresh doing this AFAIK. Iceland only offers free delivery if you spend £35 but if you spend over £25 I think delivery is £2. Over 400 stores will offer it eventually.

    Maybe I've missed something but my local Iceland has always offered free same day delivery if over £25 spent in store.
    The customer of course has to do the picking & packing in store then just leaves it at checkout to be delivered later that day.
    Not used service myself but told to check if delivery slots available before starting to shop, there's sign up at the shop entrance showing times, so able to time buses etc before shopping, maybe it's just local because a lot of the customers do not have cars?

    The new same day delivery is for orders made online. All Iceland delivery costs £2 for £25-35 orders and free if over £35.

    The instore delivery service works as you describe 😊

    I regularly use Iceland.

    The online same day deliveries, where you have to order by 11am for delivery that day carry a delivery charge of up to £6 I think.

    For next day or any other day it's still free or £2 if under £35.

  • Pity Iceland doesn't do a lot of food I like as I scratch-cook rather than use processed foods. Good for frozen fish though.

    They sell quite a bit that isn't processed. Frozen veg is fine. I've not had a problem with their fresh fruit or veg. Their vine tomatoes are far better than Waitrose's which the other place I shop. I'm not so keen on their fresh meat so tend not to buy that there.

    Years ago, when we were climbing out of poverty, I used Iceland quite a bit. I worked out that we saved 14% on Sainsbury's prices.

    One time I called customer services and arranged a delivery of Eccles cakes, fig rolls, hob nobs, grapes, water, fruit & nut chocolate etc for my father in hospital. The driver took it right up to the ward. He was chuffed to bits. 

    Until very recently, I still used Iceland for fish and seafood and cheese. My store has hardly and European cheese now eg Halloumi, Brie, Feta, Leerdammer Original have all disappeared.

    The fish and seafood often doesn't have fishing ground info now, so I don't know whether it's wild or farmed. More importantly, Product of China means food standards are likely to be lower than ours, either way. 

    Iceland is still good for pantry items, household stuff, frozen meat.
