The UK Free Delivery Index
How common free delivery really is across UK discount codes, what you typically have to spend to unlock it, and which categories offer it most — as of July 2026.
568 live verified codes analysedThe Headline Numbers
Of the 568 live, verified codes in our database, 9% lead with free delivery — 52 codes across 41 retailers. Where a minimum spend is stated, the median basket needed to unlock free postage is £30 (mean £47), while 48% of free-delivery codes state no minimum at all. Figures are drawn from the 27 free-delivery codes that state a threshold, live at the time of writing.
What It Takes to Unlock Free Delivery
Live free-delivery codes grouped by the minimum spend they state. “No stated minimum” means the code’s own terms name no threshold — not a guaranteed £0 basket.

Which Categories Offer Free Delivery Most
Share of each category’s live codes that lead with free delivery, highest first. Categories with fewer than ten live codes are excluded so a thin sample can’t distort the ranking.
Free Delivery for the Smallest Basket
Retailers offering free delivery at the lowest stated minimum spend, one code per store, at the time of writing.
Methodology
Every figure on this page is computed from our live voucher database — the same set of codes shown across the site — filtered to those marked verified and not yet expired, as of July 2026. A code counts as a free-delivery offer when its primary discount type is free shipping in our data, so a percentage code that merely mentions delivery is not included. Nothing is modelled, estimated or seeded.
For each free-delivery code we read any minimum-spend figure stated in its description or terms; where none is stated we record it as carrying no stated minimum, which is not the same as a guaranteed £0 threshold. The median and mean thresholds are taken only from codes that state a figure, and we lead with the median so a few unusually high thresholds cannot distort it. Figures change as codes are added, verified and expire, so please note the access date if you cite them.
