Sainsbury's online shopping

Not sure if this is the right place, but does anyone know what Sainsbury's delivery charges are like for online shopping? I guess it depends on what time you want your delivery, but a ballpark will do.

between £3.75 and £6 i think, last time i looked

Saltire · 05/11/2009 15:36

I get mine from them delivered on Tuesday or Wednsday, where the cost is £6,but if you spend over £40 it reduces to £3.50

StealthPolarBear · 05/11/2009 15:37

actually...

Saltire · 05/11/2009 15:37

Or it could be Wednesday and Thursday.

freyasyummymummy · 05/11/2009 15:38

free if you spend over £100..

StealthPolarBear · 05/11/2009 15:39

oh sorry, cant log in

Oh those don't sound too bad. I used to do Ocado but due to new baby and house move we need to start cutting some costs. Ocado always promises delivery from about £1 but you have to have your food delivered at 11pm to get that price, it's normally around the £6 mark.

I find that shopping online I spend less. Not tempted by the nice in-store displays and find it easy to find specials on Sainsburys online. That way I don't mind the delivery fee so much, but do try to get mid week delivery and as we're a large family, spend over £100 so free.

HeadFairy · 05/11/2009 16:16

Yeah, I've always found that too, plus with Sainsbury's we can collect Nectar points.

just want to post my recent experience re sainsbury's and their online service.

i wanted to buy an item that was £4 on-line. to have it delivered would have effectively meant i had to pay double for the item. i went in store, but its an on-line only item and they dont have an option to deliver to store.

anyway, spoke to customer service advisor, who basically said: "too bad". explained situation to manager and he gave me the £3.95 postage cost from the till. i ordered item on saturday just gone, it arrived monday afternoon. i was truly impressed.

Gosh,that is impressive RS....

I too find I spend less when I online grocery shop - I do week about ith Asda dn sainsburys.
Last week, DH said " I'll take oyu to asda" . £107 later we got home and I said, if I'd gone online I could have shaved at least £30/40 off that

RenderedSpeechless · 05/11/2009 16:55

oooh, am liking the 'i spend less when i shop on-line' thingy. i always, but always apend more than i intend to (and more than i can afford). may try shopping on-line if i come across a free delivery code with my next set of vouchers.

HeadFairy · 05/11/2009 17:25

RS.... join top cash back and you can get some extra deals, plus cash backs on your first order. Not a massive amount, but if you do one Tesco, one Sainsbury's, one Asda etc etc you could get about £30-40 cashback for something you were going to buy anyway.

HF, thanx muchly.

risingstar · 05/11/2009 18:25

i do ocado and pay £8.99 per month, with as many deliveries as you like, minimum spend £40.

i really dont believe they are more expensive than any others and at least they actually deliver what you order....had terrible service with Sainsbos

NinthWave · 05/11/2009 18:39

I love Sainsburys as they offer one-hour slots, and if they are late you get a £10 voucher off your next delivery. My drivers always ring in advance if they know they are going to be late (not often, but never more than about 10-15 mins usually)

They are fab at refunding money if you find that anything is missing from your order too.

leeloo1 · 05/11/2009 20:31

I've found that if you sign up with Ocado then they (usually) send you weekly offers for 10-15% off your shop. If you shop carefully there then they're not really more expensive...

TeaOneSugar · 05/11/2009 23:33

I do the Ocado £8.99 a month thing too, it's great, I've tried most of them and I find Ocado the best, I actually spend less than I did with Asda.
