End of Free Delivery from ECP & CP4L for all items

I got an email from ECP this morning saying that they're now doing free same day delivery for orders over £15 but it also turns out that the £15 limit now applies to all free deliveries. Under £15 is now chargeable.

In fairness, these are difficult times and it's reasonable to set a threshold to stop people buying small items & still expecting free delivery. Most of my purchases over the years have been over £15 but I wonder if this new limit will the standard. I suppose the free delivery on anything couldn't last, GSF have had a £25 limit for a while.

Aye, I was disappointed to find that out when I ordered some bits yesterday. But tbf I have felt bad in the past ordering a 50p bulb with free postage!

The bigger issue IMO is that CP4L's free delivery is now 7-9 days rather than 3-5 days..?

My wife drives for a parts shop and the number of times she says people have asked for a 34p bulb, spark plug or a sheet of wet and dry and are 15 miles away is unbelievable. Buy a boxful and keep some spares or tack it onto another order.
