Free delivery ‘a victim’ of diesel rises

Thursday 10th April 2008, 11:15AM BST.

FREE DELIVERY will become a thing of the past with the rise in the cost of diesel, according to a local haulage company.

It is expected that by the weekend several local garages will have put up their price of a litre of diesel to £1.

Steve Champion Smith, Guernsey director of Huelin Renouf, said companies that offer a free-delivery service would have no compensation against the price increase. ‘We are monitoring the cost of diesel per vehicle, as we do all the time,’ he said.

Some companies will still offer free delivery to make their products look like a good deal but will simply increase the cost of goods to cover their expenses.

The cost of living always rises with an increase in the cost of fuel.
