Asda delivery pass

littlemiss19

Hi everyone, 

I am trying to set up online delivery for my elderly parents. I see Asda are offering a delivery pass scheme and wanted to know, does the order need to be £40 each time for the delivery pass to work? 

If so, what happens if it is under £40?

Thanks,
Littlemiss

Yes it needs to be £40 to use the delivery pass:

I imagine if you spend under £40 then you cannot use the pass and normal terms apply, £3 charge on top of delivery cost.

I have a delivery pass and have just tried it. If my order is less than £40 then they seem to add the following two items:

Pick, pack and deliver: £5.00

Minimum basket charge: £3.00

Firstly, delivery passes only save money if you use them regularly, so they pay for themselves. If they aren't used regularly, they can be more expensive than picking a cheap slot. 

If elderly parents aren't welded to a particular supermarket, if you have a delivery pass already, many supermarkets will allow you to send an online order to another address. Useful for deliveries to elderly parents/relatives and for self-catering holidays in UK. 

Iceland used to deliver food bought in store with a minimum of £25, if the problem is hefting shopping rather than travelling and buying food. Some supermarkets have/had a free bus. 

Buy local food buy seasonal food farm shops sustainable food organic food - Big Barn some farm shops and stallhlders at farmers' markets will deliver, without charging for delivery, usually.

My local NISA store will deliver phone orders £25+ and village/corner shops may do something similar.

Milk & More delivers free of charge with no minimum order. Riverford delivers free of charge with a minimum order of £15 and Abel & Cole minimum order is £15 also, with a 1.99 delivery charge. All of them allow flexibility so you can set up regular orders. 
Although their prices aren't cheap, by buying only things I need, I'm saving money, not trying to make an order hit £40 and all three have special offers. This cuts down on supermarket deliveries for me, I will only do one or two a month, at most, now, to scoop up offers on pantry, frozen, toiletries and household stuff.
