Woolworths Shipping Guide: Delivery Times, Fees and Free Delivery Options

If you shop at Woolworths online, delivery fees can quietly add up — especially if you're not sure which option suits your order size. This guide breaks down every Woolworths delivery option in plain terms: what it costs, how fast it arrives, and exactly how to get free delivery. There's also a current Woolworths promo code at the end worth using on your next shop.

Bag fees and service fees may apply on top of delivery fees. On Sundays and public holidays, a flat $2 surcharge is added to all delivery and pick-up orders — that includes Delivery Unlimited subscribers.

How Does Woolworths Online Delivery Work?

The process is simple. 

• Head to woolworths.com.au or open the Woolworths app. 

• Add your items. 

• Choose a delivery window at checkout. 

You'll see the exact fee before you confirm it, based on your cart size, the delivery window you pick, and the day of the week.

Order by 1pm if you want same day delivery. For Delivery Now (under 2 hours), there's no cut-off just select that option when choosing your slot, subject to availability in your area. Woolworths uses personal shoppers to pick your order in-store, and you can leave notes to guide them on things like ripeness of fruit or preferred size.

If an item runs out of stock, they'll either find a suitable substitute or refund you automatically.

Woolworths Delivery Fees: What to Expect

Woolworths doesn't publish a fixed standard delivery fee it varies depending on three things:

1. Your cart size.

2. Which delivery window do you select.

3. The day (Sunday/public holiday adds $2).

Larger carts and advance bookings generally come with lower fees. The exact amount always shows up at checkout before you pay, so there are no surprises. An additional $15 fee applies to some island addresses that don't have a local Woolworths store.

Woolworths Free Delivery: Every Way to Get It

This is the part most shoppers care about. Here are all the ways to skip the delivery fee.

1. Free Delivery on Your First Online Shop

New customers get $0 delivery on their first order with a minimum spend of $100. This is automatically applied — no code needed.

2. Woolworths Free Delivery Over $250

Certain postcodes qualify for free delivery on orders of $250 or more. This applies to selected areas in NSW including parts of greater Sydney. Check at checkout whether your address is eligible.

3. Woolworths Delivery Starting from $15 (Delivery Now)

Delivery Now costs a flat $10–$15 delivery fee for orders under 2 hours, depending on your subscription status. Without Delivery Unlimited, the standard Delivery Now fee is $15. With a Delivery Unlimited subscription, it drops to $10 on orders of $75+.

4. Delivery Unlimited Subscription

This is the best option for weekly shoppers. You pay a subscription fee and get $0 delivery on all eligible Same Day and Next Day orders of $75 or more.

• Monthly: $17/month (increased from $15 in June 2026).

• Annual: $149/year (increased from $119).

• New customers get a free 30-day trial.

• Seniors receive a 10% discount on the subscription fee.

If you're doing a weekly shop of $75+ even twice a month, the subscription pays for itself fast.

5. Click & Collect — Always Free

Pick up your order from a Woolworths store with a minimum spend of $50. Choose your time slot at checkout, and a team member will have it ready. Direct to Boot works the same way they load it directly into your car. Both options are free.

Woolworths Delivery Times: How Fast Can You Get Your Groceries?

Woolworths fulfilled over 4 million online orders in the 2025 Christmas period alone, including 2.4 million delivery orders. Delivery Now orders grew 39% year-on-year as shoppers increasingly rely on it for last-minute needs.

Delivery can be delayed by traffic or other factors outside their control. Woolworths will notify you if there's a significant change to your window.
