We all love convenience. But here’s the catch: if you’re ordering groceries through marketplaces like Deliveroo or Uber Eats, you’re paying more than you should. Why? Because they pile on extra fees that go straight into their pockets, not yours.

When you go direct with Gopuff, you skip the extra fees, substitutions, delays and keep the savings for more essentials or maybe some treats. Let’s break it down.

1. Third-Party Marketplaces Add Hidden Fees

Marketplaces don’t just charge you for your groceries. They sneak in:

• Service fees can be up to £2.99[1]

• Bag fees, 60p[1] for a bag 😮‍💨

• Delivery fees, we’ve seen it go as high as £4.79[1]

By the time your order lands, you’ve often shelled out more than £3 for the privilege of using other apps. Order directly from the Gopuff app; those unnecessary extra fees vanish.

2. Commission Costs Push Prices Higher

Deliveroo and Uber Eats charge retailers 20–30% commission on every order. That cost has to go somewhere and it usually ends up on your bill.

That’s why the exact same ice cream, drink, or loaf of bread can be more expensive on a marketplace than on the Gopuff app. Order directly and you cut out the extra fees.

3. Ordering Gopuff Directly = Better Value

When you use the Gopuff app or website, you get:

• Lower prices on your essentials.

• No service charge or bag fees inflating your basket.

• Exclusive discounts and promos just for direct customers.

Same fast, reliable delivery. Just without the unnecessary overcharge.

4. Our Promise: Transparency on Prices

Marketplace fees are deliberately murky. We prefer straight talk:

👉 If you want the lowest prices and best deals, the Gopuff app is always the smarter choice.

Marketplaces may feel convenient, but convenience isn’t worth paying extra fees every time you order.
