From 01/07/2023 all online salt orders from Willis & Ainsworth will be moved to here. 

If you usually come into the office to collect your orders please don't worry. Nothing is changing in the way we process these orders so please visit the office as usual to pick up your salt.

If you haven't had a delivery from us before you may need to set up a new account. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. We decided not to migrate our customer database so we could avoid duplicate accounts..

Existing account customers who order bulk loads of salt from Willis & Ainsworth directly will be unaffected by these changes.

It's not the most exciting thing to announce in 2023 but we now have the capability of taking orders for both click & collect and deliveries on the same website.

We have therefore decided to combine the Willis & Ainsworth salt collections and The Salt Shop deliveries onto one platform under The Salt Shop name.

THIS IS THE BIG ONE!

We have decided to use the Willis & Ainsworth pricing model on The Salt Shop. Discounts will now apply to orders much quicker than they currently do.

The discount structure is as follows:

  • 5% Discount = 5 Bags
  • 10% Discount = 10 Bags
  • 15% Discount = 20 Bags
  • 20% Discount = 30 Bags


You may have noticed we recently restructured our requirements for free delivery.

Going forwards all delivered orders will incur a delivery charge. Orders over £100 will receive a discounted shipping fee. Unfortunately this was a necessary change due to the rising cost of running vehicles but don't forget your new price per bag is already cheaper.
