• These are the healthiest frozen products from Mercadona according to a personal trainer
• Mercadona progressively withdraws these carts from its stores: this could be the reason

The Mercadona supermarket chain has announced that it is raising the price of its rate for home deliveries, in a change that will be made progressively in its establishments throughout the country. At the moment, the increase is already taking effect in various supermarkets, as some users have pointed out on social networks when they see the posters that announce it..

As explained by Mercadona, they justify the increase in this rate due to the increase in costs related to aspects such as energy and personnel, and they ensure that it was no longer possible for them to cover the costs of the process with the previous price.. For this reason, they have decided to raise this rate for home service, for the first time in twenty years. This service refers specifically to the one we request at the same location, when we ask the cashier to send the purchase home, and it is not related to online purchases, which have different conditions..

New price for home purchases

Actually, the prices for the home shopping service differ depending on the geographical area, but until now it generally cost 4.20 euros. From now on, the price will be 6.50 euros, although it may vary depending on the establishment, and it is advisable to consult it in the one where we are going to make the purchase. On the other hand, what does remain is that, to use this home shopping service from the supermarket itself, it is not necessary to reach any minimum in the amount of our purchase.

Even so, some users have complained about this increase, which is also applied to large purchases. The official Mercadona account on social networks has responded to some of them, assuring that they had to update this rate “in order to cover the costs of the service”, and that it is the first time they have changed it “in the last 20 years”.

Good afternoon. The price of the home service rate has not changed in the last 20 years. In order to cover the costs of the service we have had to update it. All the best

For its part, the online purchase service, using the Mercadona website, continues with the same conditions as before: it costs 7.21 euros, and in this case a minimum purchase of 50 euros is required.
