Delivery Charges

Free Delivery is a Myth (here's why)

Welcome to The Foam Shop, where transparency is our policy. We believe in being upfront about our delivery charges, setting us apart from competitors who claim to offer "free" delivery – a practice that often results in higher overall costs for you.

Take, for example, a 60 cm x 60 cm x 7.5 cm piece of high firm blue foam, priced at £19.99 with free delivery from one of our competitors (as of 31/1/17). Now, compare that to The Foam Shop, where the same foam costs £10.54, with an additional £5.45 for delivery. It's evident that "free" delivery is misleading; the cost is simply incorporated into the foam price, undermining the transparency we stand for.

The issue exacerbates on free delivery sites, where the delivery cost is tacked onto each piece ordered (unless they're identical in size). At The Foam Shop, we calculate our delivery cost based on the total order amount, ensuring fairness.

Consider another scenario: on free delivery sites, if you order two identical items, there's a discount on the second piece. But beware – if there's even a 1 cm difference in size, you're stuck paying the higher price again (£19.99). We, on the other hand, maintain a consistent approach, charging based on the total order size, not penalizing you for minor variations.

In conclusion, our advice is to always scrutinise the final price, as "Free Delivery" is seldom free. At The Foam Shop, we prioritize transparency and encourage you to compare our prices. In the rare event that you find a better offer elsewhere, take advantage of our price promise.

We hope this information is valuable in making an informed decision about your foam purchases.
