I pay £5/month for an Asda delivery pass, and usually place orders for home delivery 1-2 days before the delivery. Tonight I tried to book a delivery and found that there are no slots available until next Thursday (almost a week away).

Asda and Sainsbury's have made changes to the cost of home deliveries that will see many pay more and some pay less.

Asda is now charging customers an extra £1 for the supermarket's most expensive delivery slots - taking the most expensive charges up from £6 to £7.

In addition, vulnerable Asda shoppers also now have to pay for deliveries - after an arrangement that let them have them for free ended on November 1.

Furthermore, Sainsbury's has quadrupled the cost of its cheapest one-hour delivery slot to £2, Birmingham Live reports.

The cost of some one-hour delivery slots is also rising, although others are going down in price, according to MoneySavingExpert.

Here are the new prices at Asda

Until now, the slots cost between £1 and £6.

Now, though, that range has moved - so it's now between £1 and £7.

Asda has admitted that the cost of most slots has gone up.

Vulnerable shoppers also now have to pay for delivery. Under the old system, they had been able to get free delivery with no minimum order threshold. The new arrangement means they have to pay the same standard fees as everyone else, and there is now a £3 charge for anyone ordering under £40.

One more thing, though - and this affects Christmas and the New Year.

Recurring delivery slots are being scrapped between December 19, 2020 and January 2, 2021.

Here are the new prices at Sainsbury's

Under the old system, which has just ended, orders over £40 generally cost between 50p and £7. Now orders cost between £2 and £4.50.

Orders under £40 will still cost £7. Orders over £100 booked for delivery between Monday and Thursday after 2pm are still free.

There is still a minimum spend requirement of £25 for deliveries to go ahead.

One perk of the new system is that people can now book cheap four-hour delivery slots for £1. They will need you to be flexible, however. People have to reserve a four-hour slot - and only find out the hour of delivery on the day.

As you might expect, not everyone is happy.

One person on social media said: 'I have booked a delivery for my parents for 50p on Tuesday pm since shielding began. This now costs £4. Is this right? They cannot have a 4hr slot as they have carers in at specific times. 800% increase in price?!'

A second said: 'I tried to book my regular paid slot or close yesterday and there were fewer. Many of the slots were now £4. I had to go for a later evening slot which makes life more challenging for me as a priority customer.'

A Sainsbury's spokesperson told The Sun : 'Since March we have more than doubled our groceries online capacity.

'We can now serve around 750,000 customers a week with home delivery and click & collect and we continue to prioritise elderly and vulnerable customers.'

Asda has said its prices are still the same for renewing delivery pass customers.

Passes cost £5 a month, £35 for six months, or £55 for the year.

Asda temporarily stopped issuing new passes at the start of the first coronavirus lockdown.
