Been charged£4 delivery(am clinically extremely vulnerable and self isolating).
Thought the minimum spend for free delivery was £40.
Asda not responding to query.
Anyone had same problem and if so how did you resolve it.
Many thanks!

Hi ninelives, I've just had a look at delivery charges for each of the big supermarkets at 'Lovemoney' and it states that Asda's charges are actually the cheapest. You may be confused by the term 'minimum spend'. That is indeed £40.00 but that's the amount you need to spend before Asda will deliver to you at all. It's not an indication that there is no charge if you spend that much.
Here's where I looked to find out the information, and you can compare the charges of all the supermarkets there:
Thank you so much for that Callendersgal ,got thoroughly confused re the charges ( being somewhat of a wombat on all things internet wise)will look at Iceland.
I'm planning on doing an Iceland shop on the next 10 days or so, need to use up bits already in the freezer, checked tesco, no slots for the next 3 weeks, Iceland earliest delivery Thursday 12 November
Hi Ninelives. It is a bit confusing. Initially Asda did not charge for delivery and packing. The £4 additional charge was for orders under £40 and that has not changed. However, they are now charging for the delivery slot and packing. Hope that helps.
Didn't realise they now charge for delivery slot and packing-hubby has worked out it's about£200 a year but guess it's necessary in order to avoid going out at the moment.
Tesco is £40 to get free delivery, but I have never used Asda. Tesco also have a delivery saver service which you can subscribe to, which saves on the 'pick and pack' service.
Waitrose is £60 for free delivery, but I'm no longer bothering with them as there are only 9 stores in Wales and I'm a long way from any of them!
We are same as you . Had reoccurring slot since March no charge over £40 . Changed day to Saturday evening and first 2 deliveries did not turn up got £5 voucher as Asda said techinal problem but when redelivered on the Tuesday the driver said 4 drivers left when we changed the clocks . Back to the charge it is in to January only next 7 weeks £4 for whatever spend . Perhaps they done it last Christmas anyone know ?
