Just had a home delivery from New World. One of the items we ordered a week ago at a price of $12.99 was delivered at $19.99.
Called up their "help line" to be told that because we had added another item to the order midweek, the original price would have been updated to that days item price.
I bet if the price had gone down it wouldn’t have been changed!!
And they wonder why people hate the duopoly.
No they actually do update the whole "basket" to the day's prices, it's a trap to beware of if you're like me and the basket is mostly things on special. A couple of things might go down but most go up. All the supermarkets do this.
I don’t believe Countdown does this. Have used them for years and never had that happen. We also buy a lot on "special", including wine and beer where a change like we saw would be obvious.
Countdown does actually update prices and also lets you choose new items if what you previously ordered is out of stock when you go to add to an existing order. It gives you a big warning whenever you go to edit an order.
