What this means

The score weighs markup, time saved, and whether this is a genuine treat.

Formula used

Markup = delivery - home cost. Net premium = delivery - home cost - time value.

Worked example

£28 delivery versus £9 home, 35 minutes saved at £15/hour, gives a positive net premium and a not-worth-it verdict.

Common questions

Can I use this internationally?
Yes. Currency selectors are display-only unless a tool explicitly says otherwise; no currency conversion is performed.

How exact is the result?
It follows the published Technofatty formula for this tool, but real life can add fees, rules, timing quirks, and context.

Plain-English summary

Convenience can be worth it. It should at least show its working.

This section translates the result into a short, direct takeaway rather than leaving the page at a bare number.
