When did JL stop free delivery to Waitrose?

[Firesgoneout]

My local John Lewis closed down and since then I’ve been ordering stuff and getting it delivered to my local Waitrose for free.

I haven’t ordered in a few months and this morning it says I have to pay £2.95 delivery charge for it to go to Waitrose. Which is the same cost as getting it delivered to my local post office which I can walk to.

When did they do this? I always used to pick up bits and Bo s and naice jam when I went to Waitrose to collect my JL parcel. Guess I won’t be doing that now.

Oh no! I didn't know this

Naice ham! Bloody autocorrect.

Ages ago! Well for anything under £50 anyway.

I order DH skincare every Xmas delivered to waitrose and have paid this fee for several years.

Is it me? Have I done something wrong? Because I hope so. But the feee collection from Waitrose option was always there. Now I have to spend over £50 to get free delivery. What about returns?

Still showing as free delivery to waitrose for me, just checked.

Eh?? I literally did this yesterday, for something costing £40. Weird!

How much is your item worth? Mine was £20.

It’s free for orders over £40

Hi,
It's free over £40 to click and collect at Waitrose and you can also collect at Dobbies. My local one has a mini Waitrose in it so I often collect from there.

Was it always free for orders over £40? Am I suffering from the Mandela Effect?

It doesn't really matter, it is now.
