Really? You think that 58p per week is an outrageous charge for picking, packing and delivering a weekly shop?

I used to think these were good deals when they came up but I am not so sure now. When you think about it what the supermarkets are effectively doing are tying you into shopping with them. You are much less likely to go elsewhere (to take advantage of perhaps more competitive prices and offers) and so its a win win situation for them. Just saying.

If Iceland can manage free delivery, other stores can as well :smiley:

Iceland has to battle. Each time I pass one it's always full of teenage single mothers breathing out cheap cigarettes looking for a family size microwave lasagna. Iceland's only chance to get new customers is to allow them to shop while staying within 5 miles away from their in-store clients. :wink:

It's a win-win as current customers receive their salary from jobcentre and have no car to haul those 7 bags of frozen 3% meat pork pies otherwise.

Thanks for posting have grabbed this deal - I usually buy the £8 per month delivery pass as use Asda delivery weekly so is great saving for me

I don't think they should charge people for delivering after all we do spend our money there it should be like Iceland you spend so much and they deliver it for free well done to Iceland

Thanks for posting this, I was just thinking about this earlier. Just what I need at the moment. Have got half price anytime for 6 months. :smiley:

wish i didnt have an active pass or i'd snap this up

Yes,disgrageful,we should call the government :man:

Well I think if they want you to spend there they should deliver it just how I think :-)

Lol

If Iceland can manage free delivery, other stores can as well :smiley:

Anyway a hot deal

Shame minimum spend is £40, ours is usually £35 per week.

The minimum spend is too high for me, so I'll continue clicking and collecting for free. Good deal for those who do big shops with Asda though.

Uneducated folks comparing Asda to Iceland business model.:laughing:

The increase of minimum amount from £25 to £40 was a deal breaker for me. Stopped
using Asda since as they don't give you vouchers etc.. Did do my christmas shop with Tesco
who gave £4 off a £40 shop for 3 weeks and so stocked up.

It's a shame Asda's customer service is bloody useless. Must say, in my experience tesco and sainsbury's are excellent in delivering customer service.

Currently unavailable for me as I have an active pass ffs :disappointed: always the new customers get the better deals lol

still hot for everyone else :smiley:

hope sainsbury offer a discount on a yearly pass too, fingers crossed.

Can't top up my existing pass :disappointed:

Asda will send you more close to sell by date items than other supermarket when you buy fresh meat but just pop it in the freezer and get a full refund online it only takes 2 minutes.

Also beware that asda will take micro payments from your bank, over the last 3 months they've taken 9 payments ranging from 25p to £4 apparently because the cost of items change from the time you order to the time of delivery.

Very good deal especially for people who have no transport or access/time. Since they introduced self service kiosks and removed more than half staff from tills it pain to stand in a queues..

Can this be used on George.com? It states on Groceries only, then states minimum spend £10 for George in restrictions. Anyone know?

​I had an active pass as well. If you log in though you can cancel auto renew. You still won't be able to buy the new pass until your old one expires (which could be anything up to a month away). Last time I waited it out, but the offer finished before I had a chance to buy the new pass. So this time I joined again straight away using a different email address. Means I'll have two passes for the next two weeks. But still a good saving. Don't worry that your current pass is a 12 month one. It still allowed me to stop auto renew on it.

Just to add to this. Once you've joined under the new email address, you can alter the address in both accounts... So in effect you can change your new account to your original email address. In order to do this though, you'll need to change the original account to a third address, then change the new account to your original email. Does that make sense?!

Good deal but the worst company to order online with.. We had a £100 delivery from a local store they claimed was delivered but we never received it.. They then charged us £100 again to re-deliver the same order which when we got it a few item were either missing but still charged or subbed with something oposite.. Not only that they tried offering us a £10 voucher as compensation but still unwilling to offer a full refund for the original order. took 2 months to actually get a refund. Shocking service

Existing customers can get this. I was only a few months into a £5 a month anytime pass. Called them they took off the auto renewal I was able to buy the £2.50 a month pass

asda are terrible for substitutions - I got pomegranates instead of sunflowers, see http://www.buzzfeed.com/sophiegadd/best-supermarket-substitution-fails-of-2015#.lbDlqj92B for some more examples

At least with Asda you can keep them and have a full refund as well! Refund request is 3 or 4 clicks online.

I've had Asda with the online shopping (still have Tesco and Sainsbury on saver plans), and I have to say they are by far the worst for fobbing you off with poor quality and short coded items.

And they don't even care any more - you don't have to phone South Africa and battle with (mine and) their thick accent to get refunded - no, you just go onto the website and tick off the rubbish you're not pleased with and they refund you.

They KNOW they offer a poor service...

Morrisons deliveries are much better. There is hardly ever a substitution.

Thanks OP

It costs over $15 to deliver home shopping per customer. The guy from who left Tesco has go on the record saying it is the worst decision ever made to start home shopping.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2707071/Supermarket-giants-lose-100million-year-online-delivery-services-Cost-delivery-means-effectively-paying-customers-shop-them.html

do they give you the money back in £10 off vouchers like Sainsbury do ?

There comes a point where theres a fine like between a joke and offensiveness the current mentality is its ok to make jokes about certain people who don't have it as good as yourself.

Anyway my parents used to go to Iceland sometimes but theres a flaw in their service, along the lines of they are 1 mile out of the radius of the store if they order online but if they go instore its accepted.

They now shop at Asda but their "local" is like 35 miles away they still deliver but they can't use the budget ones, I assume this is the same,

Do they still put the home delivery shopping in carrier bags inside green trays? If so do they charge you 5p for them? Was thinking if they don't that 58p would be covered....

Nevertheless, as Steven says, Iceland do deliver for free, if you pick it yourself £25 and over, online £35 or over. Having said that I pay only £1 or £2 for Tesco and Sainsbury to deliver, which is easily made up on offers, and Asda never got it right so I stopped using them.

What an offensive snob you are and a few others have agreed with you, all probably Ukip or tory voters. BTW smoking is not allowed in any store let alone Iceland so that's a lie for a start. Surprised you didn't bring immigrants into the equation.

Ocado do it for them. So everything comes from a warehouse rather than a store so they have much, much more accurate stock information, so less, if any, subs.

Interesting, I shall look into that.

Still not sold on this whole deliver to your door grocery shopping concept. Too many negatives replacing a (for me) 30 minute trip to the supermarket each week.

No they dont unless you specify bags at the checkout,then you're charged 40p

It depends,I on average spend £120ish a week for our family,so it enables me to do 2 shops a week to keep things fresh. Certainly no stockpiling going on here!!!

If anyone here is voting for UKIP it would be those Iceland customers who read jn Daily Mail about immigrants stealing their jobs. You know, the jobs they never had or tried to find since 4 kids provide enough income in benefits. :-)

Nobody said anything about smoking in store. With 3 packets per day the smell is pretty much permanent.

Thanks, I took a punt and signed up :smiley: Never done online grocery shopping but I am getting sick of wasting 3-4 hour of my life every saturday morning at Asda in Wolverhampton. I am concerned about the comments regarding short dated items etc, is there a minimum standard they need to comply to, how many days on the shelf life of a perishable item are acceptable ? Also what if items are not in stock ? Do they send you a substitution , what if your not happy with the substitution ? Any feedback would be appreciated

I live in Wales where we've had the charge for a while (with slightly different rules as far as I gather), but my experience has been:
- standard position is bags are assumed and charged
- you can remove the bags (and charge) ... although watch out if you then go back to modify your order, as the charge will reappear
- sometimes they still bag stuff, even if you take the bags off (they don't then charge though)

Not my experience at all. Their home delivery CS are based in South Africa and are beyond useless for anything other than issuing refunds for missing or incorrect items. If your delivery hasn't turned up you are advised to phone them, but when you do they simply lie and tell you that it is on its way when the truth is they have no means of contact with the drivers at all. You are much better off just contacting the branch where the delivery is coming from.

I

My point exactly.

More proof:

http://www.mycustomer.com/community/blogs/neil-davey/asda-home-shopping-got-a-problem-we-dont-want-to-hear

such a shame you can't stack these on top of your current delivery pass! still heat though, it's a good deal for new customers.

Never really had any problems with Asda home delivery, get lots of substitiutes but to my advantage e.g lamb mince swapped for a leg of lamb and small pies swapped for large. There's a new dot com centre being built round the corner to where I live which will specialise in just online shopping, so should be even more accurate.

With Asda you pay a flat 40p fee for any amount of carrier bags used last weeks shop came with 26 normal bags and 3 bags for life so not to bad :smiley:

Subbed; many thanks :smiley:

You mean the same Daily Mail that slams people on benefits as lazy, yeah sure benefit claimants are reading that.

My goodness, more judgemental stigmatization from you. You said "Each time I pass one it's always full of teenage single mothers breathing out cheap cigarettes" so although it's gramatically awful you implied they smoke in the store. Bet you are a bundle of fun wherever you shop, not. Good day to you.

britain's like to complain about the dumbest things. no surprise.

I have given Asda home delivery and click n collect a try a few times and each time they totally messed up my orders.
One vegetarian item they substituted with a meat item so they show no care whatsoever for the customer. Needless to say I wouldn't recommend Asda delivery or click n collect. I shop instore instead when I can but prefer Tesco & Ocado for home delivery.

Whether that's "better" or not is really personal preference

From my understanding my deliveries come from a depot in North London and not a branch. Yes the CS seems to be based in South Africa but if I've ever needed to contact them my issues have been dealt with quickly. I think in the last 2 years we have had deliveries not show up at all on 2 occasions. On both of those we were compensated quite a lot and to finish off, I always make use of the price comparison tool. I get between £5 to £10 of money back every week on average. For next weeks shopping I've currently got £20 sitting in my Asda groceries account to spend next week.

Maybe different areas operate differently but for me Asda have worked out pretty good in all aspects of online grocery delivery.

Asda delivery is shocking, half the muppets doing the picking don't understand what to get when they can't find. Did shopping with them a few years back on and off and every delivery was wrong in someway.

What would you say is a short dated item . I'm curious as I have never done deliveries for my groceries so I would like to know when I can kick up a fuss and what is acceptable

Personally,I'd say something out of date within 2 days,I.e not a reasonable amount of time to use it in its 'prime.'

Didn't realise they supported the corrupt south African regime. Will boycott from now on

​I wouldn't mind but the original order the driver was texting us.. he said he will be there for 7.. then text at 8 saying he's running 20 mins late... then text after 9 saying he won't be long...then never turned up.. We rang him at about 11 and asked him where he was.. his reply 'Am at home'!

Ordering online means that you are saving them on shelving, cleaning the floors, cashiers, picking up your trolleys etc. So yes it should be free to shop with them otherwise collection is the next best thing for us but not for them .. they will still have to pick and pack but they won't get my shopping EVERY week.

Superior deal if you do your shopping every 2-3 weeks. Totally worth it :smiley:

Checked, not in my area, though I have seen an Ocado van going around, oh well.

I think it would be a great idea for the Government to do a deal with the major supermarkets and subsidise free regular Grocery Home delivery for the over 70's, Supermarket home delivery is becoming part of the modern day welfare state.

Its been a godsend for my very independent arthritic mother, who uses the internet to order her food from Sainsburys all by herself. She started with Waitrose, but settled with Sainsburys, as she has a nice young man open her bottles of wine and jars that are difficult to open, and carries the shopping into the kitchen for her.

Asda, take note. The thing she hates the most, is pop up boxes, and changes in the dialog box focus, which confuses her on how to complete an order. Waitrose started with a simple site, but it got too confusing for her, she found the Sainsburys site the easiest to start and progress an order. Waitrose would send her money off case sensitive codes, in the wrong case, which confused her.

It would save NHS a fortune, allowing elderly to have free small regular fresh food deliveries (free deliveries not the food itself) and keep them independent in their own homes for as long as possible. Also like buses, would cover the basic running cost of the service.

Home delivery is invaluable to some now, needs to be made permanently viable in terms of cost, and the value it offers to the community, yep maybe Supermarkets should do it for free, but Capitalism sadly doesn't work like that, shareholders want their returns.

We used to shop at Asda for our weekly groceries. Once the home delivery service started, we tried it out. What we found was the service offered to those willing to pay for the delivery of their shop was less than those in the store. For example, substitutions not being available for basic amenities (apparently our local store had no bread or milk at the time), fruit and veg which looked like it had gone 10 rounds with Tyson and then rested for a week, and fresh produce with the same use-by date as the delivery.

I'm hoping for those still using it that you got a better service than we did, however you couldn't pay me to go back to using it.

Half price delivery passes: First Sainsbury's, then Asda. Come on Tesco!!!

It would work against all policies around activity to subsidise it.
For some over 70s getting out to go shopping is about the only activity they do, so the government aren't going to discourage this, as it's sometimes an over 70s (more likely 80s) only contact with the outside world.

£2.50 a month to avoid having to stand with the horrid people that inhabit this crowded island. TAKE MY MONEY

While presumably all the iceland shoppers are labour voters cos labour will give them more handouts til the country has run out of money again?

Well I like to look at the food I buy and look for bargains on the way round

Well I like to look at the food I buy and look for bargains on the way round

heat added not everyone has cars or can be botheres with going to the shops

Thank you

Great deal but as the delivery guys leave you look down at your bags and realise youve just over paid for inferior quality walmart stuff once again.

£40 minimum shopping kills it.
should have been £25 really.

usually buy the £7 per month delivery pass

thanks for posting

Surprised the Sainsbury's pass got so much heat in comparasin,they're so much more expensive,overcharge for sub's and never refund properly.

We have used 'chelmsley wood' in Birmingham (solihull) more than a few times and never fulfilled an entire order!!! We could never blame the entire group for this so sounds like a good deal to us :stuck_out_tongue:

Is anyone else sick of seeing this deal on the first page every time they check HUKD?

Good deal, will be getting on this!

It's £60py now, not £30.
