SUPERMARKET chain Waitrose has scrapped delivery charges for groceries ordered online.
In a move which is likely to put pressure on other firms to follow suit, Waitrose is abolishing its £3 and £5 charging structure from Wednesday.
Supermarkets charge up to £7 per delivery, although the fees can be waived on larger orders and vary depending on the time of the week.
Waitrose managing director Mark Price said: “Customers tell us they don’t like delivery charges or short-term gimmicks.
“We’re listening and we believe it’s time for clarity – transparency and free delivery as standard no matter what time or day.”
WaitroseDeliver has a minimum £50 spend.
