Order from Waitrose in 3 easy steps

To shop online, you have to:

  1. Go to waitrose.com or Waitrose app and select all items you wish to purchase

Waitrose Delivery Charges

Unlike those pesky variable fees you might encounter elsewhere, Waitrose keeps it crystal clear with a flat delivery fee of £3. It's as straightforward as popping your favourite groceries into your cart.

The charge amount is displayed above the 'Total' on the order confirmation screen. However, collections from Waitrose stores remain free, subject to a minimum spend.

However, it's important to note that this charge is not just for delivery but also covers the cost of picking and packing the orders. In some cases, there might be an additional 80p charge for bags.

Waitrose offers a range of delivery slots for online orders. You can book a delivery slot by clicking the ‘Book a slot’ option within Groceries, followed by ‘Home delivery.’

Available slots have a grey tick, which changes to green when selected. You can amend your order as many times as you like until 9 pm the day before delivery.

Waitrose Minimum Spend

Here's the scoop on Waitrose's minimum spend. For both home delivery and click & collect services, you need to spend a minimum of £40 on your groceries.

For home delivery, Waitrose offers convenient delivery to your door at a time of your choosing. However, delivery charges apply, and you must meet the minimum spend requirement of £40.

Alternatively, you can choose the click & collect service, where you can shop online and collect your groceries from any Waitrose store free of charge. Again, there is a minimum spend requirement of £40 for this service.

It's worth noting that these minimum spend requirements ensure that customers can make the most of Waitrose's delivery and click-and-collect services.
