Sainsbury's Introducing New £50 Rule for Home Delivery Customers From April
Sainsbury's raises free delivery minimum spend to £50 and delivery fees to £7.50, affecting delivery pass holders and online shoppers from April 7.
- From April 7, Sainsbury's will raise the free delivery minimum from £40 to £50, applying to UK home deliveries, a spokesperson confirmed.
- A Sainsbury's spokesperson said the spend threshold had remained unchanged for over a decade and a recent review prompted the increase to reflect business costs.
- Under the new rule, orders below the threshold will be charged a delivery fee of £7.50, while customers without a Delivery Pass pay between £1 and £5.50 for orders over £50.
- Shoppers responded with fury, saying the change will hit pensioners, single people and those who rely on deliveries as a lifeline, with many threatening to switch supermarkets.
- Earlier this year Sainsbury's ended the Chop Chop app, which offered same-day orders in 60 minutes for up to 30 items with a 4.99 delivery, as reported by ChronicleLive and Liverpool Echo.
