Poundland offers a delivery for just £4

Poundland, which has built a near-£900m business from selling goods with a single price tag of £1, has started an online shopping service in a bid to deepen its appeal to bargain-conscious shoppers - with a delivery charge of £4. Launched on Tuesday, the website sells more than 2,000 items across Poundland's traditional range of food and drink, homeware, toys and stationery. As well as branded goods, such as Kellogg's cereals, Heinz sauces and Fray Bentos pies, shoppers will be able to buy Poundland's own-range products, including kitchen utensils sold under the name of the celebrity cake-maker Jane Asher and DIY goods promoted by the TV builder Tommy Walsh.
