Hi,

We appreciate your positive feedback on our online ordering and collection process. We understand your disappointment with the envelope charge.

The 25p charge is a nationwide scheme to reduce our paper usage, the 25p covers the cost of the wallet and 40% of it goes to Just One Tree which is a registered Community Interest Company (Reg. 12067406).

We appreciate your feedback and will make sure we communicate this more clearly to customers.
